Advantages of Lukewarm Water Gargle and Steam Inhalation in COVID-19

As per discussion with Dr Gokul Bora the renowned pediatrician of Assam, I want to state that the corona virus is not vulnerable to heat. As COVID-19 is basically a respiratory virus, it affects the upper and lower respiratory system. If someone intakes hot steam or gurgle with warm water, the virus staying inside the nasal cavities, oro pharynx, naso pharynx and mouth cavity will die soon. Apart from steam inhalation, one must wear a face mask which will prevent outburst of respiratory droplets from virus infected people. In this crucial situation, one should consider any outsider as a potential carrier of corona virus. So, social distancing is a must in this pandemic situation. A person might not show the symptoms of COVID-19, but he can definitely be a carrier of the virus.

People who takes Ayurvedic things like Giloy (Guduchi), Haldi, Neem, Tulsi and practices Yoga postures such as Asanam, Pranayam, Anulum Bilum, Kapal Bhati, Vastrica, etc on a regular basis, develops certain natural resistance power as well as boosting their immune system to fight against this type of pandemic virus. Those people who are suffering from pre-existing diseases like diabetes, heart diseases, etc are the section of people who are more vulnerable to this pandemic virus. Dr. Gokul Bora also states that Corona virus cannot stay in the environment for a longer period of time but human body can be a reservoir for it. Therefore, according to him it is a myth that exposure to heat and temperature can eradicate COVID-19. The corona virus is only symptomatic. There is no specific drug for this virus. Trials of the vaccines are going on all over the world and in India also. The positive effect of the vaccines upon human body will only be known in due course of time.
