Home remedies for COVID-19 treatment in Gazipur district, Bangladesh

Eshita Anam, Rabeya Bashry Swachho, Khoshnur Jannat and Mohammed Rahmatullah

When a disease is difficult or costly to treat, the general practice is to treat with home remedies. This is true for COVID-19, a viral disease caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. In the absence of therapeutics and with vaccines still not reaching Bangladesh, doctors are repurposing medicines and patients are self-medicating with home remedies for treatment of COVID-19.

We describe home remedies used by three COVID-19 patients in Gazipur district, Bangladesh and discuss the scientific validation of such home remedies.
