ABSTRACT

CORONA needs no introduction now, everyone is well aware of it. CORONA has emerged from CHINA and affected globally. It is a strong virus which is affecting a large number of people as it spreads at a very fast speed. We had forgotten the term of communicable diseases; it is reminding us the term, described in our Scriptures. As the spread is fast and it is a new type of viral infection, no medicine has been discovered yet. Main purpose of writing this article is sharing the Prognosis of CORONA with respect to Ayurveda Prognosis (Samprapti) on the basis of the symptoms appearing in patients infected with it, so that we can help in developing some medicine for it. I am taking the pathophysiology of CORONA and relating it to the terms used in ayurveda. My study reveals that all the sites affected by the Corona are the KAPHA SITES in our body, starting from the Nose, Bucal cavity, Lungs, alveoli, brain, synovial fluid and plasma. Every symptom being possessed by the CORONA patient is described in the IN CHARAK SAMHITA CHIKITSA STHAAN CHAPTER 17, PAGE NO. 516 HIKKA SHWASA CHIKITSA ADHYAA). Here I am explaining the symptoms written in CHARAK SAMHITA in relation with various symptoms being possessed by the patient infected with the corona Virus. Various stages and types of swash roga can be associated with the symptoms of CORONA from simple infection to fatal, same as symptoms of SHAWASA from simple, then yapya and then fatal. See, how the parameters described in CHARAK SAMHITA ARE SO RELEVANT EVEN TODAY that is the importance and glory of Ayurveda. We categorize CORONA Infection in the Aagantuj Vyadhi (Accidental), As it has affected everyone, all of a sudden, but there are lot of aggravating factors existing in the people which have helped in spreading of CORONA. The compromised immunity of people due to various factors which has lead to higher mortality rate. I have come to this conclusion after reading various researches on the corona and the Autopsy reports of the patients who died due to CORONA.
