Introduction: COVID 19, a viral disease, which is caused by SARS CoV-2 is posing a serious threat to health worldwide. The disease emerged from Wuhan, a province in China, in December 2019 and rapidly spread worldwide making it a global concern. It is not only imposing an unprecedented challenge to the global health care system but also taking a toll on the social and economic front. Hundred of thousands of people have fallen severely ill, many have died and many more are economically and socially devastated by this pandemic. Several efforts are being pursued throughout the world to find treatment for people suffering from this highly contagious virus. Objectives: Ayurvedic perspective towards prevention of pandemic COVID-19. Data Source: Ayurvedic literature, Different Ayurvedic & Medical journals. Discussion: Principles of Ayurveda have been given due importance and are highlighted in containing the COVID-19 Pandemic. Conclusion: We believe that Ayurveda, the Indian medicine system has an answer to this problem. In this review, we provide an understanding of preventing COVID-19 using the Ayurveda concept of immunity (Vyadhikshamatva). Adopting Dincharya (Daily Regimen), Ritucharya (Seasonal Regimen) as advised in classical texts and paying close attention to the quality of food and appropriate ways of taking food help in maintaing health of an individual. Consumption of few herbal drugs having Rasayana quality, Pranayama and Yoga can prevent this devastating disease.

Introduction: Disease pattern is constantly changing yet infectious disease remain the major cause of mortality and morbidity in less developed countries. The world around has experienced many outbreaks and epidemic in the last few decades most recently being the COVID 19. The viral infections emerging in India can be classified in three major categories of respiratory viral infections, arboviral infections and bat-borne viral infections. There are seven variants of corona virus that are known to infect human. The SARS and COVID-19 are closely related and pose a threat to the global population. The life-saving drugs and antibiotics used against these infections are rapidly losing effectiveness and the viruses develops resistance against it. The mortality is higher in individual with low immunity, having respiratory tract related illnesses and metabolic disorders. Aim: To understand the currently prevalent pandemic COVID-19 through various Ayurvedic concepts which may further assist in knowing the disease pathology correctly. Data Source and Review Method: For the systematic review article, various Ayurvedic texts- Charaka and Sushruta Samhita with Chakrapani and Dalhana Teeka are studied. Peer-reviewed clinical studies, review articles, evidence-based articles published on-line, various websites are considered. Result: Ayurveda has vast treatment modalities like Rasayana, Panchakarma, Sadvritta etc which not only prevents the occurrence of viral infection but also avoids the spread and mortality. The ideas of Ojas, improving the Bala through Yukti, undergoing Ritu Shodhana can certainly add years to the life along with improving the quality of life. Conclusion: The emerging viral disease can be prevented by proper use of the knowledge and principles of Ayurvedic texts.

Introduction: Novel coronavirus named SARS-CoV-2 is causing a series of acute atypical respiratory symptoms. It is an Aupsargika Vyadhi and virus is transmittable between humans and has been declared as pandemic worldwide. The number of death toll continues to rise and there is no specific treatment till now. Initially, the pathology and symptoms of the disease pertain to the respiratory system and according to Ayurveda, this can be correlated with Pranavaha Srotas Vyadhi and the management should be like Shwasa roga. Objective: To provide critical evaluation of prophylaxis and interventions involved in Ayurveda for COVID-19. Data Source: Ayurveda Samhita, text, Journals, Internet etc. Review Method: Literary review. Discussion: On the basis of COVID-19 clinical features and present understanding of the pathogenesis, it mainly seems to be associated with Kapha and Vata Dosha vitiation. Nidana Parivarjana (not coming in contact with vyadhita such as maintain social distancing, use of mask, and proper hand hygiene); use of herbal, mineral, and herbo-mineral drugs; and Panchkarma procedures such as Nasya (Nasal application), Abhyanga, and Hitakara Ahara according to Desha, Kala, Ritu, etc., play important role in the prevention and management of this new disease. Conclusion: COVID-19 seems to be associated with vitiation of Kapha and Vata Dosha, and use of Ayurvedic principles and drugs can improve and regulate the immunity which helps in preventing the diseases. If disease manifestation occurs, then it can also be managed by Ayurveda interventions.

Introduction: This paper correlates the vastly detailed concepts of Janpadod dhwans and Rajyakshma from Charak Samhita to the novel coronavirus. The aim of this paper is to draw the attention of the experts toward the similarities between coronavirus and Rajyakshma, in hopes of finding some more effective measures of prevention as well as cure for the ongoing pandemic. Materials and Methods: In this paper, a little description was given about Adharm and immunity. The concept of pandemic/epidemic is explained with the term “Janpadod dhwans.” A detailed comprehensive exploration of corona versus Rajyakshma was done by thoroughly analyzing certain concepts in the ancient script Charak Samhita and by conducting meticulous research online. Results: It was deduced that every disease changes its mode of onset and course of progression with changing climatic conditions and timeline peculiarities. The diseases are not identical, but the author hopes that the similarities drawn can be of use to better understand the whole spectra of diseases that have come and those that have yet to come. Conclusion: A clear conclusion can be drawn that there are many similarities between COVID-19 and Rajyakshma in clinical presentation, as well as the preventive measures known so far. The role of good immunity is the key factor in both the cases.

Objective: Ayurvedic texts were documented ages ago, hence they have no specific cure to the diseases of the present day, as they are not described in the texts – this is the most dominant myth which is used to shut the voices of the researchers and practitioners of the Indian System of Medicine. The homo sapiens of the Planet Earth are under the constant fear of a single stranded RNA virus, reported for the first time on December 31, 2019, presenting as pneumonia of unknown origin which broke out exponentially and was declared a public health emergency of international concern on January 30, 2020, further renamed as COVID 19 in place of 2019 Novel Coronavirus on February 11, 2020. This strain is new for the present day researcher as its human transmission is reported for the first time but not for the science which cures the diseased (who are not new) unlike others who seek treatment for the diseases (which are innumerable and keep on emerging). As the virion is Novel and Ayurveda is ages old, these opposites do attract each other, and the present study aims at highlighting the principles laid in the texts of Ayurveda based on which COVID 19 and other newly emerging diseases could be understood and further added to the compendium to pave way for the future researches including drug development for the same. Data Source: SARS CoV 2 and COVID 19 were studied through reliable online sources and published research works. Classical texts of Ayurveda and available commentaries were explored to analyse the Ayurvedic perspective of COVID 19. Review Methods: Analytical review of the analogies was done to establish the hypothesis. Results: Analogies to the spread, transmission, prevention, and control of COVID 19 in texts of Ayurveda could be decrypted and the Etiopathogenesis of the disease based on the principles of Ayurveda was established. Conclusion: COVID 19 was found to be analogues to Vata Kapha Pradhan, Agantuja Abhishangaj jwara of Aupasargika category as per Ayurveda.

Introduction: The whole world is witnessing the transition of every sphere of human activity – home, work, education, health, time, travel, eating/drinking, shopping, etc., due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Neither hard power nor soft power could stop a tiny member of the coronavirus family from its global spread of COVID-19. Majorly, it has affected the health of the people and wealth of the nations. Society has explored many new normal thereby learn to live with corona. Objectives: The objectives of the study were to analyze what lessons we have learned from this once-in-a-lifetime experience, i.e., the COVID-19 pandemic and the issues and challenges in combating the sudden outbreaks. Materials and Methods: SWOT (Strengths Weakness Opportunities Threats) analysis has been used as a tool to depict the lessons learned in general and for Ayurveda in specific from the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion: There are no shortcuts to combat pandemics. Pandemics remind us about the common adage “Prevention is better than cure.” An ongoing situation may end tomorrow or the day after, but when all this is over, the earth will continue to spin, and life will flow again. Ultimately, it is the time to pause and rewind the lessons from pandemic and guidance for our future public health hazards.

Introduction: Every 100 years, world face dreadful pandemic proving human helpless in front of nature. Nowadays, we are struggling with COVID-19 pandemic which is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, has spread worldwide, its first case was reported in Wuhan, China, and since then, it has spread across the world becoming one of the worst pandemics in the history of humankind. Approach to the disease is still relying on a trial basis. No accurate cure or medications have been proved effective till date. The world is trying to invent effective vaccination, but it will take one or 2 years for a successful launch of effective vaccine. Objectives: Medical sciences are giving more importance to boosting immunity and that is the heritage of Ayurveda. COVID-19 is equally affecting physical as well as mental health. So, Physical and mental health of covid-19 affected as well as non-affected persons can be very well managed with Pragmatic Ayurvedic approach. Material and Methods: An extensive literary search of different classical texts has been conducted to collect classical references along with multiple databases (PubMed and Google Scholar) available online for the related published works. Conclusion: In this panic situation, the holistic approach of Ayurveda in the form of curative and preventive medication, Rasayana Chikitsa, Yoga, and Pranayama, etc., will be helpful to manage this disease. This article is going to dig out the treasure of Ayurveda in the form of holistic approach.

Introduction: The outbreak of COVID-19, a global pandemic is extraordinarily contagious, and its fast spread has affected more than 180 countries and has made the containment difficult. It is imperative to have proficient therapeutics to manage the current and upcoming situation. Unfortunately, no acceptable treatment protocol has been developed yet. On the other hand, a number of clinical entities have been described in detail with their treatment in Ayurvedic classics which closely resemble various presentations of COVID 19 infections. Material and Methods: A meticulous search of classic Ayurvedic texts, available contemporary literature pertaining to COVID 19 as well as clinical wisdom of stalwarts of Ayurveda was analysed to draw safe and effective treatment protocols as per presentation of the disease. Results and Discussion: Treatment protocols for COVID 19 with special reference to upper respiratory tract infections as detailed in Ayurveda have been developed and leads from these protocols can be utilized for the better management of COVID 19 related ailments and post COVID 19 complications.

Background: The current pandemic situation of COVID-19 has given an opportunity to explore the traditional medicines around the globe. Ayurveda, being the front runner among the traditional knowledge, has a key role to overcome the situation. It has a distinct advantage of approaching the disease from various perspectives such as principle-based approach and diagnosis-based approach. A pandemic situation like COVID-19 can be considered under various concepts such as janapadodhvamsa and aupasargika roga as per Ayurveda. During the initial wave of COVID-19 infection, the uncertainty of the pathological considerations and legal restrictions limited Ayurveda to the preventive strategy by modulating the immune system of the body. Gradually, there is a shift from preventive to curative approach in Ayurveda, owing to unsatisfactory results from the contemporary medicine. The management protocol has expanded by not only concentrating on the yuktivyapashraya cikitsa (internal medicines). Several methods of daivavyapashraya and sattvavajaya cikitsa (measures to improve the psychological and social well-being) are adopted which include social norms as well as dietary regimen. Trisutra theory of Ayurveda, i.e., hetu (cause), linga (clinical features), and aushadha (management) is well utilized to frame therapeutic guidelines. Materials and Methods: Classical Samhita is referred focusing mainly on Caraka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita. Information related to diseases affecting a larger population at the same time is compiled. The references obtained are presented in terms of roga pareeksha vidhi. Results: Attempt is made to analyze the present pandemic in classical terms. Discussion and Conclusion: Classical references can be very well used to understand the pathological aspects of pandemic like COVID-19. Role of larger community role is inevitable in the occurrence of pandemic and following Ayurveda lifestyle definitely prevents them.

Background: Being the foremost science of life, Ayurveda has upper hand in managing chronic as well as acute clinical conditions varying upon its perseverance in growing clinical strength of contemporary age. Materials and Methods: Classical references of contagious and communicable diseases have been mentioned by Sushruta were studied with clinical examples and their modes of transmission for understanding the cascade of COVID-19 conditions now and then. Results and Discussion: Current scenario of COVID-19 is a burning issue of human life which resembles with the classical narration of “Aupasargika Jwara” and pandemic threat with “Janapadodhwansa” term of Sushruta. Along with that, Sushruta has given methods of eradicating such clinical conditions by different measures such as rules of Sthana Parityaga (leave the contaminated place and self-quarantine), Anjali Pranaam (social greeting by maintaining distance), and Daana-Japa-Upahara, ethical practices of charity, chanting, and offerings by means of helping the needy people in crises in any way to survive in critical conditions. Conclusion: This article refers to enlighten the area of focus to revalidate the facts, concentrate, and implement for the betterment of humanity in terms of ethical practice of health science and human rituals to manage the life and life cycles.

Introduction: The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has been identified as the cause of an outbreak of respiratory illness, transmitted by breathing of or contact with infected droplets and the clinical features characterized by a variable degree of severity of symptoms, ranging from a mild upper respiratory tract illness to severe interstitial pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome. As of mid of August 2020, this has been spread to 218 countries with more than two billion confirmed cases, including near about 7.5 lakh deaths. Objectives: The aim was to understand the disease COVID-19 in Ayurvedic phraseology. Material and Data Source: To fulfill the aim, Ayurvedic classical literature starts from Brihatrayee to Siddhanta Nidana (by Gananath Sen) has been referred and published literature available on COVID-19 was searched out from PubMed search. Results: No one to one match of the disease found in Ayurveda, but on the basis of scattered references regarding Jwara and Janapadodhvamsa, an attempt has been made to understand COVID-19 in Ayurvedic phrasing. Conclusion: The disease COVID-19 may be categorized as Vayu-Kapha predominant Sannipataja Agantuja type of Jwara.

Introduction: In the wake of an unprecedented pandemic of Novel Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19), the entire mankind is drenched in deaths and miseries. The inexorable inter-continental spread of this infection has trapped almost 185 countries and has massively afflicted the human health. Despite having strong backup of advanced technology and modern science, the consistent worldwide researches have not been able to yield any clinically proven prophylaxis and therapeutic strategy. This calls for the need to include plural systems of knowledge within the domain of our consideration so as to break the chain at the earliest. Herein, Ayurveda, the oldest indigenous medicine system of India, can be a potent option for its prognostic and therapeutic implications. The present study is an attempt to highlight the potential role of Ayurveda in management of COVID-19. Methods: A sincere study of classical Ayurveda textbooks and their available commentaries along with modern texts, websites and articles has been done to showcase the prognostic and therapeutic implications of Ayurveda. Results: Amidst this crisis of COVID 19 pandemic, Ayurveda needs to be merged in the mainstream health care to benefit the nation from its prognostic, prophylactic and therapeutic implications. Conclusion: Evidence-based insights should be highly encouraged to strengthen the scope of Ayurveda beyond preventive health care and care for lifestyle disorders or non-communicable diseases. It's high time for we Indians to take up the baton with wisdom and show the world the caliber of our rich traditional medicine system.

Background: A new virus of corona family known as novel coronavirus causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) also known severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). A good number of principles are found in the classical texts of Ayurveda, which can be compared with the concepts of SARS-CoV-2, and many herbal drugs written in the Ayurvedic text, through its immunomodulatory effect, may enhance host–defense mechanism against such diseases to decrease the mortality. Aim: Our objectives of this review are (i) to understand the concepts of SARS-CoV-2 in light of Ayurveda with their approximate delineation through theoretical analysis; (ii) to review the role of Immune Booster Kashaya Special (IBKS) in boosting and regulating immunity and in preventing complications; and (iii) to explore the effectiveness of each drug among scientific community to facilitate for their extensive research. Methodology: We also searched for relevant keywords in various texts of Ayurveda as well as on online databases such as PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, CrossRef, and Google Scholar to understand the concepts of SARS-CoV-2 in light of Ayurveda and to explore the possible role of 14 medicinal plants of “immune booster Kashaya” formulation. Result: We found that SARS-CoV-2 is symptomatically very much similar to Sannipataj Jwar as described in Ayurveda and the content of IBKS possesses antiviral, immunomodulatory, antioxidant, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective, antianxiety, and phagocytic properties. It seems to promote the body's immune mechanism against viral activity and to prevent complications such as inflammation-induced damage and cytokine storming in COVID-19. Conclusion: As there is a lack of an effective SARS-CoV-2 virus-specific medicine or vaccine, these immunomodulatory strategies may be implemented before or shortly after viral exposure and may be paired with antiviral therapies to improve antiviral immune responses by providing interferon-inducing agents or by nonspecific boosting of immunity with innate factors. Immune booster Kashaya should be gone through extensive in vivo and in vitro studies and clinical trials for further validation.

Objective: The world was confronted with an illness 'COVID-19', caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. This novel coronavirus is highly contagious and in just a few months has become a serious threat to human health all over the world. The mainstay in the management of corona viral infections has been supportive care, nutrition, and preventing secondary infections in the absence of any antiviral agent or vaccine. The best way of preventing COVID-19 infection is by enhancing an individual's body immunity. Hence the main objective of this study is to bring forward to the concept of immunity in Ayurveda for preventing COVID-19. Data Source: Different Ayurvedic samhitas and text books, modern medical books, research papers in different journals and internet sources were referred to understand the concept of ojas, immunity and COVID-19. Review Methods: To compile the available literatures on immunity and COVID-19. • To compile the importance of ojas and vyadhikshamatva. • To compile the importance of Ayurvedic concept of immunity in prevention of COVID-19. Results and Conclusion: The best way of preventing COVID-19 infection is by enhancing an individual's body immunity. Ojas is considered as responsible for Vyadhikshamatva (immunity). An adequate exposition of the concept of ojas concerning immunity is essential during this COVID-19 pandemic.

Introduction: COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2 or novel corona virus is declared as a global emergency. Researchers are working hard to develop effective remedy and vaccine, but still the challenge to manage the spread and disease progression is existing. In Ayurveda, a good number of herbs are ascribed for health promotion and longevity; many of them are scientifically proven to boost immunity. Jeevaneeya mahakashaya of Charaka Samhita is such group of ten herbs enumerated for longevity and rejuvenation. However, few of the herbs of Jeevaneeya mahakashaya are endangered and not available easily. Thus, in the present article, the herbs of Jeevaneeya mahakashaya having Pratinidhi (substitutes) suggested in Bhavaprakasha Nighantu were reviewed. Objective: The objective of this study is to analyze the rationality and applicability of Jeevaneeya mahakashaya in the prevention and management of COVID-19. Data Source: The data was collected from Charaka Samhita and Bhavaprakasha Nighantu and PubMed database. Review Methods: Jeevaneeya mahakashaya and its Pratinidhi herbs were reviewed from Charaka Samhita and Bhavaprakasha Nighantu, respectively. Herbs of Jeevaneeya mahakashaya were also reviewed from PubMed data base for reported pharmacological activities beneficial in the management of COVID-19 by their botanical name. Results: The literature search revealed that the herbs enumerated in the Jeevaneeya mahakashaya were scientifically evaluated in various preclinical and clinical studies and showed anti-viral, anti-bacterial, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-tussive, cardio-protective, neuroprotective, nephroprotective, and hepatoprotective activity. These potential of herbs may help in CD4+ and CD8+ cell proliferation, interleukin 6, tumour necrosis factor alpha, inflammatory markers inhibition. It also protects various organs from damage, and improves respiration. Conclusion: The rational use of plants of Jeevaneeya mahakashaya may help in the prevention and management of SARS-CoV 2.

These herbs also improve immunological function.

Objectives: The present review was carried out to compile and evaluate the clinical aspects of corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) described in classical texts of Ayurveda. Data Sources: Information available in different classical texts of Ayurveda, compendiums, and latest Nighantu (lexicons) was compiled, analyzed and presented systematically. Review Methods: Concepts of epidemics, possible management approach, different single herbal drugs indicated in the management of symptoms related to COVID-19 as described in Ayurveda is presented systematically with the help of published scientific literature. Results and Conclusion: A comprehensive review of single herbal drugs indicated for the management of symptoms related to COVID-19 shows that, they can be categorized into symptom modifiers and general health promoters. The drugs having symptom specific indications along with reported research related to that indication such as shunthi, pippali, haridra, tulasi, saptaparna can be considered for their role in the effective management of symptoms. General health promoting agents such as Ashvagandha, Guduchi, Yashtimadhu, Haritaki, Amalaki which are having rasāyana, balya properties can improve quality of life, provides strength, or resistance against the disease. Some experimental and clinical studies are also reported to establish their efficacy which supports the classical claims. Further scientific studies to understand the exact mechanism of action of these drugs individually or in combinations is need of the time.

Introduction: The severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-CoV2 is a viral respiratory disease threatening worldwide public health, social stability, and financial development. Pathological hallmark for SARS-CoV-2 is an ineffective innate immune reaction. i.e., immune cells recognize it as dangerous toxins in place of self-antigen. Published data on neutralizing antibodies suggests their role in the prevention and treatment of infection SARS-CoV-2 through passive immunity in COVID-19. Objective: The present paper discusses the role of vishghna dravya in either flushing out or neutralization of toxins from the body. Material & Method: We developed the screening system based on Ayurveda & Modern pharmacology from different databases. Reported plants and minerals were retrieved from ancient texts. Furthermore, pharmacology method was used to preliminarily uncover the molecule mechanism. Results: Nine herbs and five metallic bhasmas having Vishaghna property were systematically reviewed, out of which four herbs and five metallic bhasmas have been reported to possess neutralizing antibody potential. Vishagna dravya works on concept of Samana pratyarbdha, the inherent qualities of the predominant mahabhutas. Madhura rasa (six), Katu Rasa (Five), Tikta Rasa (seven), Kasaya Rasa (two) have Prithvi, Vayu, Akash & Agni Mahabhuta that may exert neutralizing effect by making the cells more strong, inhibits the absorption of virus & increasing the various metabolic activities. Conclusion: To meet this challenge, this article discusses some published Ayurveda herbs and Nano metals which may neutralize the virus toxin for the prevention and treatment of infection by SARS-CoV-2.

Objective: At present, the entire world is fighting against the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Despite all the possible efforts, there is no proven and effective medicine or vaccine discovered till date. There are strong reasons for demanding alternative therapies that could be used in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. Data Source and Review methods: An extensive literary and multiple database (Science Direct, PubMed, Springer, and Google Scholar) search was carried out for related published works on kshara and alkali in the domains of Ayurvedic, traditional, and modern knowledge. Kshara (alkali) made of aswagandha, tulasi, and pippali is used as a medicine and a dietetic adjuvant in respiratory diseases in Ayurveda. “Khar” is one of the popular traditional food items of Northeast India, well known for different therapeutics. Kshara (alkaline water), prepared from banana and black gram, contains a rich amount of potassium (K), chloride (Cl), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and iron (Fe), with pH of 10.22–13.00 and 10.02, respectively. Kolakhar (alkali made of banana) has been found to inhibit the growth of different pathogens in in vitro studies. Result and Discussion: Alkaline environment within the normal range of blood pH positively influences the inflammatory, immune, and antiviral mechanisms of the body, which is said to be one of the reasons to keep the body healthy and immune to disease. There is scientific evidence regarding the effectiveness of kshara in treating viral respiratory infections. In vitro studies have demonstrated the inactivation effect of alkaline medium on respiratory viruses. Conclusion: Kshara could be a potential pharmacotherapy and food adjuvant in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19.
