Scope of Ayurveda in today scenario

Ayurveda always talk about prevention of diseases before treatment, Ayurveda explains one should take care of their health if  they are healthy also and  those who are ill should achieve health by using ayurvedic principles.

In current scenario importance of Ayurveda is so much, Ayurveda has proved its effectiveness during pandemic. In most of the Government Ayurveda colleges have treated crores of people by Ayurveda clinic in Noida in some colleges they have treated mild to moderate cases through Ayurveda and even treated critical cases as well and saved many lives.

We can observe role of Ayurveda in three categories

• Prevention
• Treatment
• Post covid recovery

In Ayurveda it is mention in Charka Samhita Vimana sthana in the chapter of Janopdwamsa about the protocol during pandemic-

चतुष्र्वपितुदुष्टेषुकालान्तेषुयदानराः।भेषजेनोपपाद्यन्तेनभवन्त्यातुरास्तदा।।
येषांनमृत्युसामान्यंसामान्यंनचकर्मणाम्।कर्मपश्चविधंतेषांभेषजंपरमुच्यते।।
रसायनानांविधिवच्चोपयोगःप्रश्स्यते।शस्यतेदेहवृत्तिश्चभेषजैःपूर्वमुद्धृतैः।।

Now as we all are aware that post covid so many people facing side effects of covid in the term of weakness, cough, body pain and even some life threatening situation has been notices like black fungus, white fungus.

Post covid recovery

Most of the expert says that if a person is on oxygen support they should try to keep their nasal passage dry, same thing has been told by Ayurveda when we say use Nasyam or Anu tailam as it was prescribed by Ayush ministry in their covid guideline. Likewise post covid if you follow Ayurveda advice along with other treatment you can prevent other complications.
