For those of you that don't understand Hebrew in short this is a letter with an endless amount of testimonies that taking pills of the "levona" tree [known as Boswellia sacra (commonly known as frankincense or olibanum-tree ]
does miracles to cure Corona.
Please let me know if anyone has any more information on the matter

I got this from DH's Rebbi. DH said he’ll look in the pharmacy to see what it is.

שרף עץ הלבונה is frankincense. שרף means resin. Frankincense is a resin collected from the tree that is named לבונה in Hebrew.

I searched for frankincense and corona-virus, I didn't find any research, but I did find at the Federal Trade Commission website that a number of companies have been warned to stop claiming that their products are effective against corona-virus, including one maker of a frankincense product. I also found New Study Reveals: Temple Incense Ingredient May Help With Coronavirus but the article doesn't contain anything about studies.

Searching in Hebrew, I found this letter sent by a Bnei Brak talmid chacham to Health Minister Litzman, with names of the author and those purportedly helped removed to protect their privacy.

Oy, another "remedy".

Rest, chicken soup, and acetaminophen. Then get even MORE rest.

Daven, of course, but don't rely on segulas. Hashem can protect you or heal you without the help of unproven theories.
