The concept that after being infected with COVID-19 the body accumulates many toxins, it is not appropriate to drink a lot of tapioca flour to detoxify.

Many people say that drinking tapioca flour mixed with alum sugar 2 cups a day will help eliminate all toxins caused by COVID-19 cause, is this correct? (Nguyen Phan Vinh, Can Tho)

Answer:

In traditional medicine, the medicine of cassava is also known as sand root. There are two ways that we often use, one is the fresh form, also known as tapioca flour, which we often mix with drinking water, the other is to mix the powder in water and then cook it into a paste.

Each use has a different effect. If you mix tapioca flour with plain water and then drink it, it will have the effect of clearing heat, giving birth to the body, helping to reduce fever, heat, sunstroke, and refreshments… But if cooked into a paste, it will have a healing effect.

According to the theory of Eastern medicine, when suffering from COVID-19 after the acute stage, the body will suffer different blood and qi damage depending on the patient’s physical condition. If the patient is physically fit and affluent, the extent of the injury is less, and there are no clinical manifestations. After a full workout, eat enough nutrition, the body will recover on its own. If the patient’s physical condition is already weak, after such an acute phase, the blood and qi will be greatly damaged.

After the acute stage, if the patient has symptoms such as bloating, poor digestion, etc., it can be cooked with tapioca flour to eat. If there are other symptoms, you can use tapioca starch mixed with drinking water. However, it should be noted that there should be a specific examination and advice for each patient to use it appropriately.

As for the concept that after being infected with COVID-19, the body accumulates many toxins, it is necessary to drink a lot of tapioca flour to detoxify, according to traditional medicine, it is not appropriate.
