Abstract

The COVID-19 virus has become the most threatening infectious disease all over the world. From the beginning of the pandemic till today, a large number of researches have been conducted and are still going on to develop appropriate therapeutics that can prevent and cure this viral infection successfully. But unfortunately, modern western medicine could not find any effective drug that has no toxic effects on the host cell. TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) has shown promising effects against COVID-19. The TCM contains naturally occurring herbal decoctions, which have shown promising blocking of viral progression in the host cell. The ayurvedic formulations containing homeopathic medicine, unani medicine and yoga altogether can counteract the virus. However, the traditional medicine system is unable to cure properly, but it can be a possible prevention strategy to stop this virus’ pandemicity. This review focuses on how ayurvedic medicines, homeopathic treatment strategies and yoga can impact on preventing viral infection.
