Black Stars striker Asamoah Gyan has recommended the use of neem leaves as a precaution against the outbreak of Coronavirus.
The deadly virus has affected more than 600,000 people, killing over 30,000 globally. Ghana has so far recorded 141 cases of Covid-19 with 5 confirmed deaths.
In a post on Twitter, the 34-year-old demonstrated a routine on how the neem is used while advising the world to go traditional in kicking out the pandemic.
Historically, the practices such as the inhalation of steam from boiled water and boiled neem leaves, have for decades, proven to help sooth flus and heal coughs, fevers and some respiratory illnesses.
Coronavirus is real and dangerous, stay home and follow the protocols by the WHO, Ministry of health and the President…be positive, spread calm not fear, boost your immune system and practice hygiene…resort to what our traditional fathers left for us. 🌳. 💪💪@AnimSammy pic.twitter.com/Z3avgyhw1w
