Abstract

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the most recently discovered corona virus and has already acquired an epidemic nature. In the present scenario there is no evidence that conventional medical system can prevent or cure the disease while the time tested traditional knowledge of Ayurveda can help in management and prevention of the disease. The prime aim of the management was to improve the Agni and facilitate ama pachana with medicines Amritarishta, Sudarshana ghanavati, agasthaya hareethaki lehya and haridrakhandam. The scope of Ayurveda in treating the pandemic is enormous which needs to be considered in the mainstream healthcare system judiciously.
