FUZHOU, China, Aug. 04, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- E-Home Household Service Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: EJH) (the “Company” or “E-Home”), a provider of integrated household services in China, today announced that it has begun supplying traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbs for the provisional studies into feasible treatment applications of TCM for Monkeypox that were launched last month.

The company announced last week that it has started the provisional investigation via its recently acquired majority ownership in Zhongrun (Fujian) Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Zhongrun”), a leading medicine and personal care products operator in China. Zhongrun will work with leading hospitals, TCM study institutions and TCM pharmaceuticals companies to supply various ranges of TCM herbs for the Monkeypox programs.

The U.S. this month named a federal official to lead the country’s response efforts as rising Monkeypox case numbers prompted California and Illinois to join New York in declaring the outbreak an emergency. Among their goals will be increasing equitable access to tests, vaccines and treatments.

Mr. Wenshan Xie, Chairman and CEO of E-Home, commented: “We are keen to utilize Zhongrun’s wide scope of business to quickly map out our strategies in big health and TCM related research ambitions. Though there’s no treatment specifically for monkeypox virus, it shares similar symptoms to the more common smallpox virus, such as fever, muscle aches and headaches, which TCM treatments have proven records of effectiveness in alleviating some of the symptoms. We hope to speed up and improve our studies so that we could deliver meaningful clinical outcome in the short future, bringing our vision for big health business to the next level.”
