Abstract

Ayurveda is a great science. If it is followed properly gives miraculous benefits. These days COVID -19 is an emerging disease as a pandemic with various signs and symptoms. A lot of Ayurvedic whether herbal or herbo-mineral drugs are used for the treatment as per the protocols suggested. Among all these opportunities in front of doctors and vaidyas Ayurveda which was emanated since times from our ancient sages is perpetuating more than before as to serve the humanity.  There are a lot of preparations used these days for COVID-19 by the Ayurvedic physicians. Sometimes common people use these preparations as self-medications without knowing the side effects. The word “Natural” in case of herbals equivalent to “safe” is a misleading perception. Herbs are neutraceutical in nature and are vastly available in market known as functional foods. These are used as immunity boosters namely Turmeric, Dry ginger, Shigru, Ashwagandha, Pippali, Kali marich, Mulethi, Haritaki, Dalchini & Tulsi. All the herbs can said to be plethora of immunity boosters if used with utmost care
