Remember when most of us had no idea what a coronavirus even was? Sigh. Those were the days. Kourt got COVID for the second time last week, and thankfully she’s since made a full recovery. She wanted to share the most helpful things she has learned this time around. From the thermometer she is “obsessed” with to being vocal when feeling scared, here are Kourt’s COVID tips.

Kourt discovered this thermometer at Kim’s house. “I used it for my day there, and then I didn’t feel complete without it at home,” she told us. “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.” She also loves that it vibrates instead of beeps when it’s ready. “So if you’re taking a kid’s temperature, it won’t wake them up because it just vibrates,” she says.
Kourt told us that she’s been putting peppermint oil at the base of her skull for congestion. “It feels so good and tingly and gives the best relief,” she says. She also puts a few drops of essential oils, like peppermint, lavender, thyme, and eucalyptus, in a face steamer.
Kourt told us that it’s important to be vocal when you feel 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.
“Don’t be afraid to reach out to doctors you trust or have a relationship with—they’re usually happy to help,” Kourt told us.

Kourt took nattokinase supplements daily (along with vitamin C). Our CCO, Sarah Howard, also told us she advises all of her friends to take 3,000mg vitamin C, 3,000mg vitamin D, and 60mg zinc per day when they have COVID.

To stay hydrated, Kourt drank a packet of Liquid I.V. x Poosh per day, plus plenty of water and tea.
“I like to starve my fever like my grandma always taught me,” Kourt told us.
