Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus; is considered one of the most fatal viruses to have ever infected the world. Though this disease generated a great deal of disarray in continents like the Americas, with statistics showing the death of more than 1 million people, African countries, specifically Ghana, had only 1,459 COVID-19 deaths. While other countries like the Americas were frantically looking for vaccines, Africans depended on their homemade herbal remedies to immunify themselves against this virus. Africans relied on herbal remedies to cure this deadly disease.

Natural spices (turmeric, ginger, garlic, black pepper, cloves, African pepper) and leaves (neem, paw, guava, Morinda, bamboo, coconut) with notable antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties were commonly used in the treatment of this disease as well as to boost one's immune system.
