Method: The study was conducted worldwide, and different states were participated in this study. Study was carried with a questionnaire; the questions help to find the knowledge of public about the effects of honey and turmeric and also it explains the way of administration of the mix for those who do not know.

After the completion of the study and on evaluating the responses, the study concluded that most of the people participated in this survey were taking this ‘magic remedy mixture’ of honey and turmeric on a daily basis for getting immunity and also noticed that most of those who were taking this mix on a regular basis were not affected by the corona virus and few of them get affected but resolved as early as when comparing with those people who were not taking the honey and turmeric mix.
