Ministry of AYUSH: Ayurveda immune boosting measures for self care during COVID 19 crisis

In the wake of the outbreak of covid 19, the entire human race across the world is suffering. Enhancing the body's natural defense system (immunity) plays an important role in keeping your health healthy.

 

We all know that prevention is better than cure. While there is no medicine for COVID-19, it would be good to take preventive measures that boost our immunity.

Ayurveda, being the science of life, extends the gifts of nature to keep one healthy and happy. Ayurveda's extensive knowledge base on preventive care, derives from the concepts of "dinacharya" - daily regimens and "ritucharya" - seasonal regimes for maintaining a healthy life. It is a science based on plants.

The Ministry of AYUSH recommends the following self-care guidelines for preventive health measures and boosting immunity, especially with respiratory health. These are supported by Ayurvedic literature and scientific publications.
