Abstract
The world now is suffering from a unique and unprecedented situation of corona virus disease outbreak also known as COVID-19 which is caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). This pandemic has challenged health care systems across the globe. Due to lack of definite potential treatment modality against SARS-CoV-2, there remains only one better option to counteract the on-going pandemic that is to evolve our immune system. The coronavirus pandemic has turned the world’s attention to the immune system. Our immune systems will need to adapt unaided to COVID-19, until a potential cure is available. The immune system plays a critical role in our response against infectious diseases. Ayurveda has a lot to offer in this area of battle against COVID-19. Even though cure of an illness matters much more but prevention is always better than cure. Ayurveda with its unique concept of Vyadhikshamatwa (immunity) and simple natural ways of its enhancement through use of Rasayana dravyas (rejuvenating herbal medicines) can play a crucial role in prevention of infectious diseases like COVID-19. The basic principle and practice of Rasayana (rejuvenation) is based upon the theory of immunomodulation. It boosts up the immunity and helps to keep the body and mind at the best of its health. Rasayana dravyas have been the first line of defense for Janapadodhwansajanya vyadhis (pandemics) in Ayurveda.
