Abstract

Panchakarma is a branch of Ayurveda medicine that deals with both purification and palliative aspect. Covid 19 is a pandemic disease of recent outbreak affecting almost all age group people worldwide. Allopathic medicine is doing at its best to fight with severity as well as mortality of Covid 19. However, we can strengthen the current treatment protocol of Covid 19 by integrating Ayurveda and Panchakarma measures into it. Depending upon the severity, stages of the diseases as well as associated comorbidities, we have to advocate different Panchakarma therapy like Kavala, Nasya, Virechana etc. Panchakarma has great role in case of prevention and management of Covid 19 cases right from home isolation patients to patients managed in I.C.U. setup.
