Today I went for a ride with my bicycle in nature, hoping to find a wild plant that I heard can be a good remedy for COVID19.

“Elder” commonly called “Elderberry” which it’s local names here are “Black Aqti” or “Shoond” has been shown to be useful against Tuberculosis in the past and nowadays people are using them for treating COVID19 increasingly.

My friend suggested that Elderberry could play a very effective role in COVID19 treatment, and considering she and her husband are educated people in connection with the hospital, I’m prone to believe her.   

She said that her father was very ill and that they had made an ointment for him using Elderberry leaves and that he was now recovering. They also used its extract on a Humidifier for him and a bunch of other people and had wonderful results.

Of course, you can not be 100% sure about a disease like Corona. Nothing is clear and every day something new comes along. Plus the patient may get better for other reasons or the herbal medicine may have been effective after all.

As I rode my bike on a hot sunny day, I looked at the wild plants on both sides of the road.

I was looking specifically for Elderberry. Of course, I am not very optimistic at this point, but once it has proved to be harmless, it worth a try.

The plant is said to have a significant effect on the treatment of COVID19 disease, and its leaves, stems, and even it’s black and bitter fruits are effective in fighting respiratory diseases and strengthen the immune system.

A quick internet search revealed that there is no objection to using this plant to treat Corona and nothing has proven against it. And my friend said that I can find it in the jungle or next to the rice fields as well.
