Abstract

Coronavirus disease (Covid19) is an infectious disease caused by the SARSCoV2 virus. Most people infected with COVID-19 show mild to moderate symptoms and recover without specific treatment. According to the monitoring results of the Lampung Provincial government, patients with Covid-19 cases in Lampung until June reached 57110 people. Patients with Covid-19 cases in Central Lampung until June 2022 reached 4,549 people. The main thing we need to know is that we will easily catch the Covid-19 virus if our immune system decreases. One alternative to increase the body's immunity is to take a spice steam bath or often referred to as an archipelago spice sauna. The Nusantara Spice Sauna is a therapy that uses warm steam as a medium. People undergoing this therapy will be placed in specially designed cubicles.
