Choose Ayurveda for Post-Covid Care

Nobody wants to get infected with the Coronavirus. But unfortunately if you do, it means that the next few weeks of your life are going to be hard. Your immune system is going to be weak, you’ll suffer from body pains, lethargy, and many other issues. Luckily, with timely care, and proper medication, you can bounce back healthy within two weeks or so depending on the severity of your symptoms. 

Some of the after-effects that people with heavy symptoms usually face after being tested for the virus are:

  • Loss of taste and smell
  • Shortness of breath
  • Muscle and joint pain
  • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome 
  • Mental issues like confusion, forgetfulness, anxiety, etc. 

Experts say that even though you have been tested negative after contracting the virus, it does not mean that you can go back to our regular routine. You still have to take good care of your body and mind, and make sure that you are completely rested and energetic before resuming all your activities.  Don’t do things that can cause anxiety and stress. Instead, try to sleep as much as possible as that will only speed up the recovery procedure.

Post-Covid Treatments in Ayurveda

According to the AYUSH Ministry, these are some health guidelines that anyone who gets affected with Covid-19 can follow. Apart from this, the ministry has also mentioned some measures for people who are mildly symptomatic and asymptomatic and also includes people who are going through post-Covid-19 complications. 

These are some guidelines that all people can follow at home: 

  • Take immunity boosting medicine, recommended by AYUSH
  • Drink warm water throughout the day
  • Indulge in pranayama and meditation, if your health permits
  • Practice yoga asanas such as shashankasana, vakrasana, bhujangasana, and anilom-vilom to strengthen your lungs and boost immunity
  • Add spices like cinnamon, pepper, cardamom, star anise and cloves to your meals. You can also include dried turmeric and dried ginger too.
  • Amla juice or amla is one of the best things you can have to increase your immunity power. It is also a rich source of Vitamin C and aids digestion as well. 
  • Intake a properly balanced and prescribed diet
  • Breathing exercises can be done as prescribed by the doctor
  • Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol

As per Ayurveda, every irregularity or flaw that disrupts your body’s health is due to the imbalances of  Vata, Pitta, and Kapha doshas. It is also due to the toxins that have become a part of your body. Therefore, Ayurveda focuses on restoring the balance of the doshas and healing the body, making it as healthy as it was before.
