What is Ayurveda?
How to strengthen your immune system in times of COVID-19
In western countries Ayurveda is mostly used in the wellness area, but especially in India it is considered an effective healing method.
Ayurveda is a holistic system and not an individual therapeutic measure.
Ayurveda includes both herbal supplements and measures for a healthy lifestyle in order to better deal with various stress factors and infections.
The concept of stimulating immune function is a cornerstone of Ayurvedic practice.
Stronger defenses to protect against COVID-19?
Researchers are discussing local prophylaxis, including the use of Ayurvedic practices that help block the entry of the virus into the body and passage into the lungs.
This can include, for example, the consumption of hot water, hot dishes, herbal drinks and steam inhalation.
Systemic prophylaxis focuses on general health and includes factors such as diet, sleep, mental relaxation, lifestyle and yoga.
In the study, the researchers describe, for example, so-called Rasayana therapies, a special Ayurveda method that deals with rejuvenation and can stimulate the immune system.
They indicate plants that have been shown to be effective in immunomodulating and restoring immune homeostasis.
