Hello fellow pedes! My dad just tested positive for covid. He is in the high risk category and I’m very worried about his health.

We have a doctors appointment tomorrow but I need to know if anyone has any safe home remedies they have tried. I’m not asking for medical advise. I just want to know what worked for you guys.

Thank you!

When I had it back in January, I pounded EmergenC (for the zinc and vitamin C) and did steam breathing treatments with tea tree and eucalyptus essential oils (Aura Cacia brand) several times a day. Almost boiling water in a deep bowl with 8-10 drops of each oil, towel over the head, breathe deeply. Don't open your eyes or you'll scald your eyeballs. Other remedies are homemade chicken broth, mega vitamin D, gallons of green tea, garlic oil capsules, and immune boosting herbs (echinacea and goldenseal especially).
