This review aims to elucidate the possible health benefit of far infrared from Nuga Bed/Mat® along with its heat produced and the application of castor oil pack that has antiviral property in the management of coronavirus infection. Far infrared radiation from Nuga Bed/Mat® has low wavelength and is perceived as heat by the thermoreceptors of the human body. The presence of heat from the Nuga Bed/Mat® coming from the far infrared radiation gives sufficient health benefits including detoxification, pain relief, reduction of muscle tension, relaxation, improved circulation, boosting of the immune system and lowering of blood pressure. SARS-CoV-2 infection manifests inflammation of the vascular endothelium which prevents proper circulation of the blood and can further progress to blood clotting. Treatment with Far infrared radiation for 40 minutes to 2 hours causes the stimulation of HO-1 protein that induces anti-inflammatory activity on the vascular endothelium and other sites of inflammation. Hence, improved blood flow can be expected after an exposure with far infrared radiation. With the added castor oil, spread on the specific site which has a corresponding antiviral property, the possibility of alleviation from the symptoms associated with coronavirus infection can give a light of hope as an alternative remedy.
