The document discusses Ayurvedic management of post-COVID conditions through Panchakarma techniques. It recommends an initial regimen of Ghrita Pana for 7 days followed by Abhyanga Swedana. On the 10th day, Vamana is performed to remove lung and stomach toxins, followed by a Sansarjana Krama. After 7 more days, Virechana helps eliminate residual toxins. A long-term Rasayana program including herbs like Agastya and Vasanta Kusumakara provides strength restoration. The author argues that traditional Ayurvedic knowledge gained over thousands of years should not be dismissed due to current lack of evidence standards.

mainly between people who are in close contact
with each other, typically within 1 meter (short‐
range).
• A person can be infected by virus when aerosols
or droplets containing the virus are inhaled or
come directly into contact with the eyes, nose, or
mouth.

Conclusion
• Lack of Evidences according to the present day
parameters and the Government regulations are
binding the hands of Ayurveda practitioner

thousands of years experience and recording the
effectiveness and efficacy can not be ruled out
• Many examples of personally managed exclusive
Covid cases with Ayurveda did not appeared in
the publication limelight because of restrictions

Ayurveda is Ultimate
• I am not speaking this as I am an Ayurvedic
Practitioner
• Present tendency of Trial and Error method
incomplete research inclusions in treating the
pandemic is thought as ultimate leaving the
long standing traditional medicines alone
• One thing is sure – when the experience of
tradition and experimental science joins the
hands – the result will be marvelous.
