Abstract

Stringent adherence to WHO guidelines has been maintained to minimize the risk of COVID-19 infection and ensure safety. In addition, the AYUSH Ministry of India's recommendations, pertaining to the Ayurvedic approach to boosting immunity and lowering the risk of contracting SARS-CoV-2 infection, have shown to be highly effective prophylactic measures. Ayurvedic methods have played a significant role in managing COVID-19 infections and symptoms during the pandemic. Key recommendations include maintaining hydration by drinking water, using herbs and spices in food, and practicing daily yoga poses, pranayama, and meditation. Ayurvedic medications such as Sudarsana Ghana Vati, Suvarna Vasanta Malati RasaAmrutadi Kasaya, and so forth are commonly used. Additionally, Ayurveda offers therapeutic modalities such as Panchakarma (five purifying processes), Rasanya Chikitsa (immune-modulator therapy), and Sadvritta (good conduct) to support overall well-being and promote recovery from the disease. This review intends to deliver the Ayurvedic approaches, including the use of medicinal plants like Withania somnifera and Tinospora cordifolia, as well as the implementation of daily guidelines and measures in daily routines for combating COVID-19. It further highlights the present scenario, the emergence of the virus and genetic variations in its genome, and the potential therapeutic applications of Ayurvedic medicinal plants to discover the immunomodulatory effects and their impending ways of fighting and treating the infection.
