It's matter of big discussion that traditional medicine may play key role in management of Covid-19. Recently, in India, Ayurveda and Yoga has been included in National management protocol for asymptomatic n mild cases of Covid-19.
Inclusion of Ayurveda and yoga is important in Covid19 management protocol. Ayurvedic drugs have key role as immunity booster it will be support to control covid.
It will be more effective method to enhance the immunity by taking ayurveda drugs. also by doing pranayama yoga will be increase the lung functions.
Holistic management is a key concept in management of any ailment. Even WHO acknowledges the varied spectrum and dimensions of health. Aurvedic medicines have been accepted even by the Westerners and stood the test of times. In addition allopathy has borrowed much from traditional medicines. Yoga is also a great supplement to other therapies as it focusses on physical fitness as well as breathing exercises which further improve our respiratory system. Moreover allopathy has not provided yet any concrete evidence of management and are recommending only hit & trial therapies or symptomatic/supportive management. Therefore it's a great initiative to include such alternative system of therapies for the management so that we can enrich our arsenal for the fight against this pandemic.
Covid-19 is usually a mild self-limiting illness that does not require any specific treatment.
Current evidence based medicine is based on the presumption of significance when P
Yoga - may be beneficial
Ayurveda - I would be cautious with this. As with any medical therapy for COVID-19 people may feel better after it but they were probably improving anyway...
In Asymptomatic and mild cases Patients Disease fighting machanisam (Immunity) is very strong than disease Causing agent(virus).hence this disease causing agent not produced symptoms at that much extend.disease fighting machanisam i:e Immunity in body is increased by Ayurved Rasayan (Immunity boosting Drug) and yoga(Pranayam) therapy.
Ayurveda and yoga possess solution for most of the health challenges being faced during this COVID 19 pandemic period. Ayurveda recommends the optimum use of Indian spices to boost the immunity level within the body. Yoga practice has been related to the optimization of immune-surveillance in terms of the modulation of the frequency of blood lymphocytes and the downregulation of pro-inflammatory markers. So, a titrated combination of Ayurveda and yoga is the need of the hour.
These should not only be included in mild and moderate cases but also severe cases. The method of diagnosis and management of disease in Ayurveda is not based on the Germ theory of disease but on Tridosha theory in Ayurveda which makes it possible to manage any disease by an Ayurvedic expert. The need of the hour is a consensus on Ayurvedic treatment protocol by experts in Ayurveda.
In the fight against the covid pandemic, modern countries use no other means than a mask and distance. Mild patients do not receive therapy, severe patients are hospitalized. Ayurvedic treatments are the single and most effective means of prevention and can be used in mild cases.
The extent of the COVID-19 Pandemic had again brought forth the question of, traditional medicine and its impact on the improvement of QoL. Holistic medicine is the need of the hour in present circumstances for the overall well-being of humanity. Just sharing one of the manuscripts co-authored which aptly addresses the question being explored here also.
