PREVENTION from CORONAVIRUS and Risk from it.

COVID - 19 is a contagious disease, caused by coronavirus. It is infected from human to human. Till date their is no medicine and no vaccine for it.

Even though the people who get treatment and become corona negative,  they get other complications that develop in their body. But it is better prevented by wearing masks, keeping social distance and by taking immunity boosters. 

Nowadays there are many immunity boosters available in the market. And apart from that people formulate their own immunity boosters. 

The patients as such seen are asymptomatic and symptomatic. In asymptomatic no symptoms are as such seen.  And in symptomatic, different- different symptoms are seen in different patients. The symptoms seen are fever, cough, cold, loss of taste and smell.  Doctor's around the world also suggest the medicine as per the symptoms. And for nutrients vitamin A, C, D, K are increased, minerals like calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and good protein are increased. 

Foods like carrots, green vegetables, amla, oranges, egg/milk are increased. Also patients are suggested steam inhaling, drinking hot water and also ayurvedic decoctions. Vitamin C and D with calcium supplements are added along with other medications. Yoga's like shawasana, suryanamaskar and kapalbhatti are also suggested. 

It is better, people to drink decoctions of defined products. What happens if people make decoctions of their own,  since they don't know the limitations of ingredients that they use. Also they take such decoctions variable times, thinking of safety, then sometimes  they may have an adverse effect. Also by drinking hot water, mouth burning may take place. The ingredients in the decoctions, mostly are cinnamon, cloves, turmeric, ashwagandha, giloi, basil leaves,  jaggery or sugar, cardamom, ginger and black pepper etc. All these ingredients are been found in kitchen itself.  

Side effects of all these ingredients are described as under : 

Risk of cancer, Liver/kidney damage, mouth sores, breathing problems, interactions with medications,  erection problems, itching, rashes, digestion problem, headache, nausea, increased thyroid function, slow down central nervous system, constipation, promote autoimmune disease, leads to diarrhea, high doses may lead to heart beat. Not suitable for pregnant and lactating  women.

So, the main thing I want to say that eventhough people drink decoctions as an immunity boosters, they should concern with doctors or dietitians w.r.t. the quantity that they use. 

So always be safe with controlled dosages of decoctions or any other home remedies for whatever purpose you use.  Always use mask, keep social distancing and wash your hands,  be safe.
