Drop of Lemon Juice

Drop of Lemon Juice

A standing ovation, ooph’s! but for wrong reasons! Not a double century from the stylish Rohit Sharma, rather for the spike in corona cases! With this has come the lockdown which was much awaited. But the doctor Chief Minister was waiting for this day - to have a spike. If the lockdown was done the day there were spike in cases at Mangor Hill, today we would not have to see this disaster, as rightly said by the Governor Satya Pal Malik: “not locking down Vasco earlier by the State Government was an error of judgement”! Indeed! It is really true. Tomorrow we won’t be surprised to hear it’s a triple ton, not from Cheteshvar Pujara but Goa Corona. For, now that the local flights have started coming and tourist arrive with fake certificates! Because a tablet two hours before boarding the flight and landing can give a clean chit!  

We have heard enough from Chief Minister telling us ‘maintain social distancing’ ‘don’t go out of your house unnecessarily’ ‘wear masks’ ‘wash your hands and so on… The techno savvy and smart Goans, are online more than ever who screen thousands of post…be they videos, links and whatsoever… Furthermore have read posts on Whatsapp, Facebook, and screened videos from medical field doctors who are currently dealing with the pandemic.

But, it is sad that not once, did we hear the PM, CM or the Minister of Health Ministry, telling us, how to kill the virus, apart from the vaccine! like the other doctors have been telling. 

A vapour of about 40°C/ 60°C usually cripples the virus, and your immune system can kill it. 70 degree centigrade vapor kills the virus completely. The whole of China, Japan, Hong Kong, is on steam. Even our Prime Minister and Chief Minister (Mumbai) know this, because they also take steam. (but they don’t tell you, because it is business time and they are not interested in you…)

The infection travels directly from the respiratory tract to the lungs, so taking steam is always beneficial. How to take it now? If you are at home, steam once. If you go out to buy vegetables or anything, steam twice. If you meet people in the office, take it three times. If one is in direct contact with a Covid patient, steaming every two hours is essential, he advises.

Lion Ranga Venkateswara Rao, from West Godavari District claims that with just One Rupee you can cure Coronavirus. He says that this cure is nothing less than “Allauddin and his Magic Lamp.”  If you put only one drop of Lemon Juice each in your nostrils, the virus that is lying in the nose, throat and lungs would come out in the form of phlegm into the mouth which you have to spit out. Then in lukewarm water add a few drops of lemon juice and a little salt, gargle and spit out. You will feel great relief. Afters apply Coconut oil in your nostrils with your fingers.

We could also try the Corona Kashayam for protection. Requirements - 1 lime (cut into seven pieces),  2 cloves, 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 and a half inch ginger (cut into slices) and 1 litre water. Boil the water with the ingredients on sim fire till half litre and have three times just for a day. I myself have tried it out, it works!

For “A drop of Cyanide kills a soldier caught by the enemy” whereas “A drop of Lemon Juice saves one’s life.” Your life is in your hands, handle with care!!!
