When the whole world is trying to combat COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by  novel Corona virus, there is urgent need to explore the efficacy of  alternate medicine as preventive measure.  Traditional medicine which boost the immune system may be one of the best and immediate answer to this global health crisis.

Herbs <em> </em>such as tulsi, giloy,  lemon balm, mint and also amla, methi, ginger, turmeric are helpful in strengthening the immune system which is key to fighting the deadly virus. Several  oils and selected  fruits  also increase efficiency of immune system thus protecting the body against viral infections especially against respiratory illnesses.<em> </em></p> <p> </p>
