The effects of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) have culminated in a pandemic of great magnitude, with no specific cure in view. Efforts are ongoing by Alternative medicine practitioners to use an existing or new line of herbal products to manage this novel virus. This study reveals that garlic, ginger, and lime when blended, boiled in water, and allowed to cool before drinking, healed the patient with typical signs and symptoms related to COVID-19. Healing was evident in 3 days as observed in our case study who lives in Abuja, Nigeria after this herbal mixture was taken alongside vitamin C (Ascorbic acid). His family was also advised to be on Ascorbic acid for prophylaxis with none of them isolated; yet, they were not infected. Hence, we posit that herbs with a high content of vitamin C be utilized in the management of cases presenting with typical symptoms of COVID-19.
