Kourtney Kardashian shares tips to battle COVID-19

Kourtney discovered a thermometer at sister Kim Kardashian's house and stated that she didn't feel complete without it at home. She further added, "It doesn’t have to go in your ear or touch you and always seemed to be accurate for me … It felt really easy to check when you’re unable to move. So if you’re taking a kid’s temperature, it won’t wake them up because it just vibrates."

As per Poosh, Kourtney also stated that she has been putting peppermint oil at the base of her skull to heal congestion. "It feels so good and tingly and gives the best relief", she said. Not only this, but she also puts a few drops of essential oils, like peppermint, lavender, thyme, and eucalyptus, in a face steamer. She further noted that it’s important to be vocal when one feels alone or scared. "Have someone to check up on you, visit with you outside, or even bring you food and leave it at the door", she mentioned.

'Don’t be afraid to reach out to doctors': Kourtney

Kourtney also advised people to reach out to doctors as she said, "Don’t be afraid to reach out to doctors you trust or have a relationship with—they’re usually happy to help". Detailing her medicines, Kourtney said she had 3,000 mg vitamin C, 3,000 mg vitamin D, and 60 mg zinc every day when she had COVID. She followed this practice on the advice of her company's CCO, Sarah Howard. Kourtney took nattokinase supplements daily (along with vitamin C). To stay hydrated, she drank a packet of Liquid I.V. x Poosh per day, plus plenty of water and tea. Opening up about her fever, she said, “I like to starve my fever like my grandma always taught me".
