Government to launch Ayurveda and Yoga protocols for management of Covid-19

The government has been promoting medicinal herbs under the Ayush system for people to improve their immunity levels to be able to fight off infections. The National Clinical Management Protocol based on ayurveda and yoga for the management of coronavirus disease (Covid-19) was jointly released by Union health and family welfare minister Harsh Vardhan and minister for Ayush Shripad Yesso Naik. The event was held virtually.

From taking one teaspoonful of Chyawanprash and warm turmeric milk in the morning, to having mulethi (liquorice root) powder, Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia) powder, etc., many Ayurvedic medicines found mention in the health ministry’s post-Covid-19 management protocol. In view of the need for accelerated solutions for Covid-19, the Ministry of AYUSH has taken up systematic studies on different possible solutions through multiple channels. As part of this effort, a proposal for a clinical study to assess the role of Vasa Ghana, Guduchi Ghana and Vasa-Guduchi Ghana in therapeutic management of symptoms in Covid-19 positive cases has recently been approved.
