How to cure Coronavirus? Indonesia President shares his secret!
If you believed that medicinal herbs could cure diseases, President Joko Widodo thinks so. As reported via Bloomberg, President Widodo has a tip for all people battling to cure or prevent getting the viral disease Coronavirus that now infected over 100,000 people around the world.
Widodo said in a statement posted on their website that he has been drinking a specific type of tea that makes his body more immune to getting the disease. A common drink in Southeast Asia called 'Jamu,' is a mixture of red ginger, lemongrass, turmeric, and Curcuma, a type of tumeric native to Southeast Asia.
As explained, Widodo has been drinking Jamu three times a day since the spread of the virus and has not felt any negative effects on his body, aside from the fact that he interacts with a lot of people every day.
"I drink the mixture instead of tea now," Jokowi said in the statement. "I give the drinks to my guests, be it the morning, afternoon, or evening."
Jamu was said to be a native herbal medicine used in Asian countries that claim to cure diseases, from common flu, uric acid, and even stomach ache. Aside from that, Jamu drink also claims to have an effect on sexual factors for men, which increases stamina.
As of now, medicinal herbs are not yet verified by the World Health Organization or any health experts that can cure or battle against Coronavirus or COVID-19. However, President Widodo claimed that demand for this blended mixture is now increasing than before and even advised citizens to grow their own herbs in order to have their supply for the common herb ingredients.
Indonesia is the world's fourth most populous country and was criticized for its lack of proper medical care for all confirmed cases of Coronavirus. As of now, the country has recorded 34 confirmed cases and one death reported on Wednesday, Mar. 11.
Is there a cure for Coronavirus?
Currently, the World Health Organization has not yet confirmed any medicinal cure for the widespread COVID-19. There were reports of potential ones, but the confirmed patients around the world are taking no certain medicine.
Despite this, the agency said that the proper way of battling against the virus is self-cleaning such as regular washing of hands, no touching of face and mouth with your hands, and social distancing from people that are sick or crowded places.
