Abstract
ABSTRACT The traditional system of medication, including Ayurveda, has been accepted widely for treatment of diseases in India, and hence it is being utilised by the people for the management of the COVID-19 pandemic as well. In this backdrop, the traditional system of medicine in India was studied and examined for managing the COVID-19 pandemic. People in India mainly rely upon Ocimum tenuiflorum, Tinospora sinensis, Zinziber officinale, Cinnamomum zeylanicum, Curcuma domestica, Phyllanthus emblica, Syzygium aromaticum, Piper nigrum, Citrus medica, and Trachyspermum ammi to manage COVID-19 either by using them alone or as a decoction of more than one species. Apart from herbal formulations, yoga, steam inhalation, lifestyle changes and disinfection of the environment are the cause of concern in managing COVID-19. There is no scientific evidence and claim that the traditional system of medication can cure the COVID-19 disease, however, it may help to improve the immunity and disinfect the home environment, which may finally help to fight against the pandemic.
