Abstract

The worldwide challenge of the covid-19 pandemic called for innovative preventive and therapeutic measures. Ayurveda, with its comprehensive and traditional approach, presents rasashastra—a specialized field that focuses on mineral and metallic preparations known as rasa aushadhis, noted for their quick action, microdosing, and immune-boosting effects. Their effective use during the pandemic led to notable outcomes. This paper explores the therapeutic potential of rasa aushadhis during the covid-19 crisis, emphasizing formulations like swarna bhasma, rasmanikya, tribhuwan kirti rasa, shwaskuthar rasa, and laxmi vilas rasa, which showed promising results in symptom management, immunity enhancement, and respiratory relief. A blend of classical knowledge and modern clinical observations was used to confirm their relevance during the crisis. The study concludes that rasa aushadhis, when used under expert guidance, can significantly aid in combating viral infections like covid-19.
