Abstract

Abstract: COVID-19, or SARS-CoV-2 or novel coronavirus 2019 (nCoV-2019), first reported in Wuhan, China, has become a global pandemic due to human-to-human transmission with no specific treatment available. This review highlights the history of coronavirus, its diagnosis, treatment, and prevention by immunity-modulating Ayurvedic interventions to manage the disease during the early chaotic days of the COVID-19 outburst. Immunity modulation is a documented mode of action for many Ayurvedic drugs, including Tinospora cordifolia, Withania somnifera, Andrographis paniculata, Glycerrhiza glabra, Boerhaevia diffusa, Ocimum sanctum, Tribulus terrestris, Curcuma longa, Emblica officinalis, Terminalia chebula, Terminalia bellirica, etc. Several studies have been performed, and many trials have been registered to evaluate the effects of these herbal drugs to combat infectious diseases like COVID-19. Studies have also shown that Ayurvedic drugs, healthy diet, good lifestyle, and psychological aspects all have been researched over the years and found to have a significant role in increasing immunity and decreasing the number of comorbidities; hence, they should be considered in designing a module for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 infection.

通过调节免疫的阿育吠陀干预措施管理COVID-19大流行:一个光明的万灵药

摘要:2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)或SARS-CoV-2或新型冠状病毒2019 (nCoV-2019)首次在中国武汉报告，由于人与人之间的传播而成为全球大流行，目前尚无特异性治疗方法。这篇综述重点介绍了冠状病毒的历史，以及在COVID-19爆发的早期混乱时期，通过免疫调节阿育吠陀干预措施来控制疾病的诊断、治疗和预防。免疫调节是许多阿育吠陀药物的作用方式，包括天竺葵、苦楝、穿心莲、光甘油三根、白花布尔海菊、山茱萸、蒺藜、姜黄、牛油果、车尾草、牛尾草等。已经进行了几项研究，并进行了许多试验，以评估这些草药在对抗COVID-19等传染病方面的效果。研究还表明，多年来对阿育吠陀药物、健康饮食、良好生活方式和心理方面的研究都发现，它们在提高免疫力和减少合并症数量方面发挥着重要作用;因此，在设计COVID-19感染预防和治疗模块时应考虑这些因素。
