Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness.[1] This scenario has given the opportune time to our Traditional Indian medicine viz Ayurveda and Yoga to take the road as a fresh approach for public health and disease management. Modern medicine with its curative approach while Ayurveda & Yoga can contribute to prophylaxis & protection from the virus. Ayurveda is the meeting of medicine and metaphysics and to start with, good health is not only based on three bodily humors that is Vata, Pitta, Kapha but also the prakrati or body constitution of the person that is connection of the person with environment, with the soul. Ras aushadhi can play major role in current scenario due to its quick action, easy to take, more effective than kashtha aushadhi, lesser duration of treatment.
