Abstract:
Communities with already high rates of non-communicable diseases, including Mexican immigrants living in the Bronx, were burdened further by the novel coronavirus. In this context, many individuals sought ways to prevent and mitigate symptoms of COVID-19, including homemade remedies. Twenty-five semi-structured interviews with Mexican immigrants living in the Bronx reveal how they devised and deployed remedios caseros (home remedies) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants attributed use of remedios caseros to factors such as overpacked hospitals and limited information from authoritative sources about preventing and alleviating COVID-19. Findings suggest that home remedies were a survival strategy born out of necessity, or imperative resilience.Media teaser: Mexican immigrants devised and deployed strategies around remedios caseros in response to the COVID-19 outbreak.
