The corona virus pandemic is the most challenging crisis the world faces since the Second World War, one that is killing people and will also lead to an economic recession that probably has no parallel in the recent past. The onus is on individuals to prepare their bodies against the disease as it seems the government is not able to cope with the deteriorating situation. While it is crucial to use preventive methods to maintain hygiene standards like washing your hands frequently, especially if you have travelled by public transport, wearing a mask (cover your nose and mouth) and avoiding touching your hand or mouth. There are also certain methods to improve your immunity which is paramount at this juncture. At the onset of the pandemic, the Ayush ministry advised ayurvedic remedies to improve immunity. According to Ayurveda, our body can withstand infections only when all the seven layers of our body’s tissues (Rasa, Mamsa, Rakta, Medha, Majja, Asthi and Shukra) are strong. When the seven layers are working together, our immunity will be boosted. And what do the layers need to stay healthy? Ojas. It is a subtle and invisible essence of your body tissues that keeps you healthy. Ayurveda has said that certain plants and plant products can build ojas to empower our immunity. Keeping this principle in mind, Ayush kwath was formulated. Ayush kwath is a mix of Tulsi, Dalchini, Sunthi and Kali mirch. Apart from improving immunity, it also helps in improving overall health and decreasing symptoms of seasonal flu. Can be consumed twice daily by all age groups without any side effects.
