Abstract


Globally, SARS-Cov-2 continues to spread, causing widespread panic. Finding a cure to stop its spread has become a top priority. The use of chloroquine has been the subject of much debate in the scientific community around the world. The Scientific Committee of Morocco decided to use it to treat cases infected with covide 19. However, treatment depends on the health of each patient’s immune system. It is necessary to strengthen the immune system to protect itself or prevent possible infections, such as colds, fever, pain, shortness of breath and sore throat, symptoms similar to those of SARS-Cov-2 virus. An infusion, prepared in a traditional way from certain plants such as thyme, lemon, ginger, with a supplement of honey, is used by the Moroccan population to strengthen the immune system during the winter period to fight against colds, fever, pain, shortness of breath and sore throat symptoms similar to those of SARS-Cov-2. Thus, this infusion can be used to naturally strengthen the body’s immunity because it contains a significant amount of vitamin C, zinc, quercetin, bioactive substances called essential for the proper functioning of cellular metabolism against pathogens and possibly the famous SARS-Cov-2.
