A ROLE OF HERBO-MINERAL FORMULATONS IN MAINTAINING AGNI, IMMUNITY AND TREATMENT OF COVID-19.

Ayurveda is the science of life and longevity. Ayurveda being a holistic and ancient science it advocates wise use of some herbo-mineral formulations. Herbo-mineral formulations have their benefit of having low dose and proven efficacy in symptoms that occurs in Covid-19. Herbo-mineral formulations are rich in essential micronutrients and helps in modulating immune response in Covid-19. Some of Herbo-mineral formulations are Lakshmivilas Rasa, Swarna malati vasant, Swarna Bhasma, Yashada Bhasma, Shwasa kuthar Rasa.Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, a Baltimore class IV Positive-sense single stranded RNA virus.
Coronaviruses are group of RNA viruses that infects mammals and birds, causing mild to lethal respiratory tract infections. Earliest infections of coronavirus in animals occurred in late 1920’s. Human coronaviruses were discovered in 1960’s. The risk factor for coronaviruses vary significantly, as MERS-CoV can kill more than 30% of those infected. SARS-CoV discovered in 2003 had unique pathogenic feature as it causes both upper and lower respiratory tract infections. Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment.
The severity of response to virus depends on immunity of the host. Ayurveda instead of immunity holds belief on the Agni. Concept of Agni is very deep and it assumes that each tissue of the body functions properly only when its specific agni is normal. Older people and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness. For treatment of mild and moderate cases of Covid-19 patients entire medical field is striving hard. Each pathy is trying its level best to defeat this pandemic. Ayurveda has also lifted a bow to hit at this pandemic.
