Treatment of coronavirus infection can be carried out at home in the absence of breathing problems and poor health. Please note that if the temperature rises above 38.5 degrees, you should consult a doctor.
The algorithm for treating coronavirus at home in an adult has been officially approved; it involves the use of certain medications. During illness, you need to stay at home and minimize contact with other people.
Main symptoms of coronavirus
Light form
In approximately 83% of cases, Covid is mild or asymptomatic. The disease appears 3-10 days after infection. This period is called the incubation period: the virus multiplies intensively and spreads throughout the body, but there are no clinical symptoms yet.
The mild form is characterized by the following symptoms:
- Temperature not exceeding 38 degrees.
- Intense cough, developing over time into coughing attacks.
- General weakness, increased fatigue.
- Gastrointestinal disorders (nausea, diarrhea, etc.).
Moderate and severe form
15-17% of patients suffer from moderate and severe Covid. In this case, there is a loss of taste and/or smell, increased cough (in attacks 1 to 3 times a day), shortness of breath, accompanied by difficulty breathing.
These symptoms indicate that the patient requires emergency hospitalization in a medical facility.
In the presence of chronic diseases, the condition can significantly worsen. As a rule, this is accompanied by the development of atypical pneumonia and the addition of a secondary bacterial infection.
Attention!
If signs of ARVI are detected, you should not engage in self-treatment. It is necessary to call a local therapist to your home and adhere to his instructions.
A coronavirus test is prescribed if the patient:
- Returned from a trip abroad.
- Contacted a person who has a corresponding diagnosis confirmed by laboratory diagnostic methods.
- A person over 65 years old complained
- The patient has cardiovascular and other chronic diseases.
Useful properties of healing tinctures
Joint pain and impaired mobility occur mainly due to inflammatory processes in the connective tissue. Inflammation develops as a result of polyarthritis, polyarthrosis, osteochondrosis, neuralgia, arthritis, myalgia. The cause of inflammatory processes can be injury, uneven distribution of load on the joint. Joint pain can also occur due to metabolic disorders in the body.
Regardless of the initial cause of pain and swelling, alcohol tinctures for joints using herbal ingredients help eliminate such symptoms.
To prepare natural medicine, plants and herbs are used that have analgesic, decongestant, anti-inflammatory, and in some cases chondroprotective properties . Alcohol, which has high antiseptic characteristics, improves the conductivity of bioactive substances into tissues.
Alcohol tinctures are used for medicinal rubbing and compresses.
The use of herbal infusions with alcohol provides a positive result:
- Relieving pain syndrome. Herbal tinctures mostly eliminate pain of moderate and low intensity. To relieve acute pain, it is recommended to use an analgesic infusion of alcohol.
- Improved blood circulation. An alcoholic herbal remedy dilates blood vessels and accelerates blood flow, which in turn helps relieve congestion, improve the nutrition of connective tissue and the penetration of healing substances contained in the tincture into it.
- Relief of inflammation. Acceleration of blood flow, the presence of herbs in the alcohol tincture, which has anti-inflammatory properties, allows you to quickly stop the inflammatory focus.
- Anti-edematous ability. The use of herbal medicine relieves swelling after 3-5 procedures.
- Warming effect. Activation of blood flow, especially in combination with rubbing movements, creates a thermal effect in the affected area, which, in turn, has a mild analgesic and calming ability . Rubbing the joints will give the fastest results.
Contraindications for use
General contraindications to the use of alcohol tinctures are:
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding period;
- Individual intolerance to plant components or ethanol;
- Skin damage (serious wounds, burns);
- Children under 12 years of age.
The use of tinctures for fungal or infectious lesions (eczema, herpes, psoriasis, lichen) requires mandatory consultation with a doctor.
Before using an alcoholic herbal product, it is worth conducting a sensitivity test. To do this, apply a small amount of tincture to the skin area and wait 5-10 minutes. If severe redness, irritation or itching occurs, use of the product is not recommended.
Important! When using a medicinal tincture with alcohol, slight redness, burning and even mild itching may occur - such manifestations are normal.
Treating coronavirus at home
In this article we will describe some methodological recommendations of the Ministry of Health that are recommended to be followed when treating coronavirus at an early stage or in a mild form.
Algorithm of actions for treating coronavirus at home in adults in 2021
What treatment is prescribed for coronavirus at home? How to treat coronavirus at home? What medications should I take to treat coronavirus? Such requests have become popular recently among many people.
There is no single treatment regimen for COVID 19. After infection, you should adhere to the following points:
- Keep calm. Do not run to the pharmacy and buy all the antiviral drugs.
- Limit live communication, rest more and drink warm tea.
- Do not take antipyretic drugs at temperatures below 38 degrees.
- Do not do a CT scan of the lungs without a doctor's prescription.
It is important to add a few words about the use of antibiotics. They help treat bacterial diseases, but not viral infections!
At the beginning of the pandemic, the disease was not yet studied: there was no scientific research data, and doctors did not know how the disease progressed. It has been suggested that antibiotics in combination with certain drugs (for example, azithromycin with plaquenil) may have antiviral activity.
To date, WHO and the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation have excluded azithromycin from the list of drugs recommended for use at all stages of the disease.
Crassula for joints
This herbal component can help cope with many different joint diseases. Crassula tincture for joints will help to significantly reduce swelling, relieve inflammation and relieve pain.
Crassula decoction is used to prepare various recipes.
The recipe for a tincture for joints based on Crasula is simple:
- a 1 liter jar is filled 1/3 with crushed leaves and twigs of the plant;
- the contents of the container are filled with vodka;
- the mixture must be shaken well several times at once, and then shaken periodically;
- the medicine is infused in a dark place for three weeks, after which it can be used for rubbing;
- The tincture must be stored in the refrigerator.
For medicinal purposes, it is not necessary to prepare a tincture; it is enough to rub the painful areas with the juice of the fat plant. You can also carry out procedures with compresses. To do this, the leaves of the plant are ground into a paste, placed on the painful area and secured with a bandage.
It is best to carry out the procedure before bedtime. Then the affected limb is wrapped in cellophane and a warm towel. Course 15 days. Then there is a 20-day break and you can repeat the procedure again.

Medicine based on dead bees
Few people know that even dead bees can be used for medicinal purposes. Such insects are collected in hives; most of them accumulate in the spring. The bees need to be thoroughly cleaned of debris and dried. This can be done on the balcony or on the radiator. Podmor is stored in dry bags in a suspended state.
Tincture recipe
Collect dead bees, clean them of debris and dry them
Dried dead meat is pounded in a mortar
To prepare the tincture, crushed dead bees are poured with alcohol.
Podmore is poured with alcohol (in a ratio of 1:10) and the mixture is infused for two weeks. The medicine is stored in the refrigerator. Every day, add 30 drops of tincture to a glass of clean water several times, and drink the drink 20 minutes before meals. The course of treatment lasts 3 months.
You can use the tincture for rubbing. Just 5 minutes is enough to get started. Gradually the rubbing time is increased to 30 minutes. To achieve a good result, relieve inflammation and pain, it is worth carrying out the procedures regularly.
It is best to do this in the morning and before bed. Deadwood tincture (like all beekeeping products) can cause allergies, therefore, keeping the compress for a long time is not recommended. It is best to use the product in spring and autumn, because it is during these periods that there is a particular exacerbation of joint ailments.
Tinctures from the listed plants and natural components can be taken internally and as an external remedy. Good results can be achieved if you use tinctures in a comprehensive manner. The resulting medicines are quite inexpensive, easy to prepare and no less effective, sometimes, than expensive medications. However, before using them (as well as any other folk recipes), it does not hurt to consult with your doctor!
Home treatment - what are the dangers?
The main danger is that the patient may not notice the deterioration of his health. Far from a medical facility, he may not receive the qualified care he needs.
To prevent the development of complications, it is necessary to closely monitor two indicators during treatment:
- Body temperature.
- Blood oxygen level (you will need to purchase a pulse oximeter).
If the temperature remains at 38 degrees for 5 days, then this is a reason to immediately contact a specialist.
It is important to monitor whether there is difficulty breathing and chest pain when inhaling.
