Poster summary
- Home remedies are simple measures of symptom management for minor health complaints or disease prevention. These measures include the use of easily accessible tonics, herbs, and spices (Adebiyi, Dong, Omukunyi & Roman:2022). The purpose of this integrative was to identify home remedies used for the treatment and prevention of coronavirus disease guided by Cooper's integrative review. Google Scholar, BMC, EBSCOhost, Medline, Academic Search Ultimate, Web of Science Core Collections, Science Direct, and Global Health were used to retrieve 526 English-language articles on the usage of COVID-19 home remedies from 2019 to 2022. Eleven (11) from the nine (9) countries were selected following the Critical Appraisal Skills Program (CASP) checklist to arrive at the findings. Findings revealed that home remedies were used for the prevention of COVID-19 infection, treatment of COVID-19, and boosting immunity. Generally, the use of spices, herbs, and plant-based products are used to boost immunity and fight COVID-19.
