Foreword

The world has just witnessed pandemic called Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19), an infectious disease caused by SARS COV-2 virus. It has caused a great loss of life, inflicted pain, and recession to the public. It affected large part of population but people with disease, Diabetes, Cancer etc. were more vulnerable. The disease was recent in origin and at start there were no treatment available. This lead to great panic among general population and health care sec tor as well. Treatment protocols were changed from time to time after finding out that drugs earlier used were not efficacious. This created vacuum which was filled magnificently by Ayurveda. The cause of contagious disease mentioned by Acharya Susruta in Su Ni. 5/52.'' it became the cornerstone in prevention of disease by emphasizing on social distancing, use of mask and regular hygiene maintenance. Emphasis on immunity boosting measures like Ayush Kwath (Basil leaves/ Tulsi, Cinnamon bark/ Dalchini, Zingiber officinale/sunthi, piper nigrum/Krishna marich),, Chyavanprash, Guduchi and other herbs made Ayurveda a house hold name and belped Ayurveda to reclaim its lost glory. Genera Population understood the importance of pathya ahar & vihar and also started to follow the same. Astang Yoga (including Yama, Niyam, Asana, Pranayama, Dhyan etc.) helped people increase their physical sa well as mental well-be ing which was one of the worst hit entity in COVID-19 pandemic as people were witnessing loss of life of their near and dear ones and being forced to face Lockdown. The treatment protocol ac cording to Ayurveda also helped to cure mild to moderate COVID-19 disease with help of medicines like Agastya haritki, Ayush-64, Sansmani vati, Ayush kwath, Anu Tail and other Shastrokta medicines. Panchkarma also played its part. In short this was a pandemic for sure but as once Albert Einstein said "In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity", the COVID-19 pan demic provided an opportunity and Ayurveda grabbed it to re claim its lost glory.

The present book written by Dr. Bhawana Sharma provides an insight in COVID-19 disease regarding its sign, symptom, pathogenesis and management through Ayurveda covering its याद किया therapeutic and preventive aspect by improving immunity. My में सार्थक प्र best wishes to Dr. Bhawana Sharma for compiling this wonder ful book covering all aspects of COVID-19 including its Ayurvedic management in brief and simple language and hope this book help the Ayurvedic practitioners to win the battle against COVID 19 pandemic.
