    Abstract Licorice is a common Chinese herbal medicine in China. Glycyrrhizic acid (C42H62O16), and glucoside are the major active chemical ingredients that possess antioxidant, antiviral, anti-infective, and anti-inflammatory properties. It can either cure (e.g. SARS-CoV-2) or cause diseases (e.g. hypertension or heart attack), so care is needed in the dosage of licorice. Some library search engines were used such as SCI/SCIE, PubMed, and Scopus. In this mini-review, the keywords searched include “licorice”, “traditional Chinese medicine + licorice”, “SARS-CoV-2”, “licorice + SARSCoV- 2” etc. in the last thirty years. The author discusses the background, usage, risk of licorice, the research progress on its antiviral activity as well as some Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formulations for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19.

    Abstract Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is common in elderly people and severe CSM patients are recommended to receive surgery. However, in some cases, surgery may fail to improve the patients’ symptoms. An 80-year-old man diagnosed with CSM complained of right hemiplegia and right arm and leg pain with the presence of a Foley catheter, despite treatment with laminectomy and laminoplasty. Acupuncture, bee venom pharmacopuncture, and herbal medicine were administered for 129 days. As a result, manual muscle testing (MMT) and the Modified Barthel Index (MBI) improved, the pain in his right arm and leg decreased, and he was able to urinate by himself. This case report implies that integrative Korean medicine (IKM) can be an option for patients suffering from muscular weakness resulting from myelopathy.
