Awareness & Immunity are the weapons against Corona Virus

Boost your immunity, fight coronavirus

The virus which highjacked the whole world, and put it into lockdown. It is so powerful that it ruined the whole economy and the lives of people. It is so cunning that it changes its form to deceive the humans. It is so fast that it took the globe in its grip in a short period. Yes! You all are right, we are talking about none other than Novel Corona Virus.

First of all, let us understand what is a Virus?

A virus is a submicroscopic infectious agent made up of an outer shell of protein that carries the RNA - the genetic code with the instructions to make new copies of the virus. They replicate only inside the living cell of an organism. Often they kill the host cell in this process and cause harm to the host organism. You might have ever suffered from viral fever, flu, common cold, chickenpox, or measles. These all are caused by a virus. 

What is Corona Virus?

The word Corona means Crown.  The family of coronavirus is named because of its structure which looks like a Crown under a microscope. They have the ability to stick to the surface and move to a different place with that surface. It can survive on any surface for a minimum of 24 hours to 7 days on different surfaces. (Copper and Silver being Exception). Coronaviruses cause illness like Common Cold, Severe acute respiratory syndrome. The Novel virus that causes COVID-19 is also a virus of the Corona family. It is a one-nine hundredth of a width of a piece of hair. It is a new virus and different from other corona families because it is new to humans and their immune system is not ready to fight for it.

How our body/immunity fights a virus?
Antibodies are one of the key weapons against viruses in our immune system. They are molecules made by white blood cells to fight off invaders and keep us healthy. There are 10 billion different kinds of Antibodies. Each kind of antibody is special and has a different shape. So any kind of virus can be traped. The antibody with the right shape sticks to the virus and neutralizes it. It informs the cells to destroy the virus and produce a similar kind of antibodies. So, the body has its own ways to kill the viruses. It is our immunity which protects us from External bodies including viruses. So it is the best way to increase your immunity to get protected from any virus infection. 

Our immunity fights an intruder

How can we save ourselves from the Novel coronavirus?

There are two weapons against the coronavirus:

1. Awareness
2. Immunity

Awareness:  If we know the facts about the virus and how it spreads, we can definitely save ourselves and others from the infection. As we all know, it spreads from Human to Human, we can stop it by taking some precautions. We know that it enters the body through eyes, nose, mouth, or any open cut. 

Following are the precautions which we must take to prevent the spread of COVID-19:

• Maintain proper distancing from others.
• Wash your hands with soap every time you touch any unknown/unsanitized surface. Take time in washing hands and clean them properly. (I personally do not suggest excess use of sanitizer on the body because it harms our body. Soap is a better option)
• Do not touch your eyes, mouth, nose frequently. If it is much urgent, then clean your hands with soap then touch them.
• Take bath on returning the home also wash the clothes.
• Maintain safe distance if someone is sneezing or coughing.
• Stay at home if you are unwell.
• Increase your immunity.

Immunity: As we all know that no medicine or vaccine has been developed for COVID-19 yet, we can deal with this pandemic by increasing our immunity power. However, some Ayurvedic and Homeopathic medicines have shown positive results in the treatment of Covid-19. So let us discuss the ways by which you can boost your immunity.

How to increase your immunity power:

• Don't smoke or drink.
• Take a diet full of Vitamin-C (Amla, Lemon, Orange, Mausambi)
• Exercise regularly: Naukasan, Bhujangasan, Chakrasan, Marjarasan, Padangushthasan, Mandukasan etc.
• Diaphragmatic breathing: Take deep breathing through your nose with your one hand on the stomach. Feeling that the air moves down to the abdomen and stomach moves out. Hold for few seconds then breathe out fully pressing the abdomen.
• Do Pranayam regularly: 10 minutes Bhatrika Pranayam, 15 minutes Kapal Bhati, and 15 minutes Anulom-Vilom, 21 repetitions of Bhramri.
• Use immunity-boosting herbs like Giloy, Tulsi, Ginger, Turmeric, Black Pepper, Amla, Aloe-vera, Ashwagandha, Shatavari, Mulethi, cinnamon. (Ashwagandha is most beneficial )

"WBC" the warrior of body

Ayurvedic Kadha beneficial in Corona:

Ayurveda has proven its battle in the treatment of a few Corona Patients. So by using Ayurveda we can increase our immunity and also treat the symptoms of COVID. The major effect of COVID is on the respiratory system. So, it is very much necessary to strengthen your respiratory system. Another major symptom of COVID is high fever. So we can use the herbs accordingly. 

How to prepare Corona Kadha (for 4-5 persons):

• Take 800 gm water
• Add crushed Giloy stem- 2 feet ( if you take dried giloy kwath, take 2 T-Spoon)
• Add 1/4 T-Spoon turmeric powder or crushed raw turmeric (1 small knot).
• Add 20 Tulsi leaves (crushed).
• Add 1 small knot of Ginger/ dried ginger powder.
• Add Ashvagandha powder- 1/2 T-Spoon
• Add Mulethi and cinnamon powder (4-5 gm each)
• Add Black Pepper powder 1 gm
• Boil this mixture till 3/4th of water evaporates.
• Filter the remaining 1/4 Preparation.

Now it is ready for drinking. Take this Kadha every morning. This Kadha is very much effective and it increases immunity instantly. This Kadha is very much beneficial in respiratory problems and Fever. 

If you can not do all this, you can simply take Giloy Ghanvati one pill thrice a day with water. Tulsi Ghanvati one pill thrice a day with water. Ashvagandha powder 1/4 T-spoon once in a day with water or milk.

Another 3 days of treatment can be taken if you have any viral fever or infection. Any kind of Viral Infection can be treated by following a 3-Steps diet plan:

Day1: Liquid diet
Bodyweight of patient/10 = No. of a glasses of Fresh citrus fruit juice with fiber. (Pineapple/Orange/Mausambi) + Same No. of glasses of Coconut water. (Consume during the whole day)

Let us take an example to make it more clear. Assume your body weight is 60 Kg.
Then the number of Glasses will be 60 divided by 10 = 6 Glass of Fresh citrus juice and 6 glass of coconut water for the first day. Nothing else has to be taken. (A glass should be at least 300 ml)

Day 2: Fluid diet
Bodyweight of patient/20 = No. of glasses of Fresh citrus fruit juice with fiber. (Pineapple/Orange/Mausambi) + Same No. of glasses of Coconut water. (Consume during the whole day)
Weight x 5 Gms of (Tomato+ Cucumber)

For a 60 Kg patient, 3 glasses of Citrus fruit juice, 3 glass of Coconut water, and 300gm of (Tomato + Cucumber) have to be consumed in day 2.

Day 3: Solid Diet
Breakfast: Body weight/30= No. of glasses (Citrus fruit juice ) + Same No. of glasses of coconut water.
Lunch: Weight x 5 Gms of (Tomato+ Cucumber)
Dinner: Normal home-cooked dinner

At the end of the third day, you will be all fine. 

The AYUSH ministry recommended that homeopathic medicine Arsenicum album 30 could be taken empty stomach daily for three days as a prophylactic medicine against the infection.
Another drug Camphor 1M is also helpful in the treatment of respiratory infection it is taken thrice a day empty stomach just for one day.



To summarize the above all, we need to increase our immunity and awareness to fight the Coronavirus. The most effective ways of increasing our immunity are: Doing Pranayams and exercise regularly. Taking Vitamin C rich diet. And the use of herbal kadha and Ashwagandha powder/capsule mentioned above. Even if we get affected by a virus we can adopt a 3 days diet plan mentioned above and thereafter we may continue the use of herbal kadha for better recovery. Pranayam and Exercise to be continued regularly. Pranayam makes our body internally strong which results in a healthy life.
Besides that, Trikuta churn and Patanjali Shwasari ras can be taken if there is a severe respiratory problem. Shadbindu Tail or Mustard oil can be used as a nasal drop.
