National Clinical Management Protocol based on Ayurveda and Yoga for management of Covid-19

Preamble

The COVID-19 pandemic has created a global health crisis posing an unprecedented public health emergency. The number of deaths and people being infected are increasing daily throughout the globe. This situation is much more severe due to possible devastating situations because of several social and economic factors. Effective management to address this infection is still evolving and attempts are being made to integrate traditional interventions along with standard of care.

Ayurveda and Yoga can certainly play a pivotal role to augment preventive measures provided in the guidelines by Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW). The current understanding of COVID-19 indicates that good immune status is vital to prevention and to safeguard from disease progression.

Following three aspects are considered while preparing this protocol:

1. Knowledge from Ayurveda classics and experience from clinical practices

2. Empirical evidences and Biological plausibility

3. Emerging trends of ongoing clinical studies

This protocol is for management of mild COVID-19. Moderate to Severe COVID-19 individuals may have informed choice of treatment options. All severe cases will be referred.
