This post shared on Facebook by former television news anchor Rama Singh claims sniffing a mixture of camphor, cloves, carom seeds and eucalyptus oil boosts blood oxygen levels. We found the claim has no basis.
As the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic rages in Nepal, people have been sharing various kinds of information related to the disease including some supposed home remedies on social media platforms. One such social media post accompanied by a picture suggesting a traditional remedy for low blood oxygen levels has been widely shared on Twitter and Facebook.
The post reads as follows: “Take three-four cubes of camphor, three-four cloves, a teaspoon of carom seeds and two-three drops of eucalyptus oil, wrap up the mixture in a piece of soft cotton cloth and sniff it from time to time. [Every time] after sniffing, put the pouch back into a Ziploc bag. If Eucalyptus oil is not available, you can do without it.”
