Introduction:
A novel coronavirus disease known as COVID-19 was declared as pandemic
by the World Health Organization (WHO) on January 20, 2020 (“Statement
on the Second Meeting of the International Health Regulations (2005)
Emergency Committee Regarding the Outbreak of Novel Coronavirus
(2019-NCoV),” 2020) This outbreak was first reported in Wuhan, the city
of China and captured the whole world under its violent spread; it was
the worst hit after a Spanish flu in 1998. Over the decades, the world
never saw such a horrible economic, social, and ecological downfall. The
mortality rates were tremendously high; many were dead while the ones
left were severely traumatized (Sohrabi et al., 2020).
As it spread violently, its havoc and negativity were ingrained in
people’s minds, initially it was not even-taken seriously but after
increasing no. of cases and it’s contagious nature many people came up
with varied range of perspectives, opinions regarding how to tackle the
disease. From inception to its outbreak, unverified information,
misbeliefs have taken over the world. Various families and homeopathic
doctors came up with homemade traditional remedies such as use-of son
makai, hot beverages, hot climate prevents disease and many more
preventions (Olapegba et al., 2020).
