Panicking decreases immunity! Don’t panic, stay
calm, and work on improving your immunity with these effective Ayurvedic tips
by Dr Chauhan.
Ayurvedic tips for Coronavirus:
Do not panic: Fear and negativity reduces immunity. Excessive
mental stress also affects our digestion and thus causes formation of “ama”, a
toxic material that is responsible for causing many diseases.
Maintaining hygiene is the best way to prevent
the virus from entering your body. Wash hands often with soap and water, use
sanitizers, cover your nose while sneezing, and avoid visiting busy and crowded
places. Performing agnihotra/ yagya or burning
havan samagri (a mixture of herbs) keeps your home and environment free
from germs.
Boost your immunity: We all know that strong
immunity is necessary to fight any kind of foreign body or disease. Coronavirus primarily affects the lungs and the
respiratory system. Eating a tablespoonful of Chywanprash daily enhances the immunity, specifically that of
lungs and respiratory system. Amalaki or Amala
(Emblica officinalis), Guduchi/Glioy (Tinaspora cordifolia), Neem (Azadirachta
indica), Kutki (Picrorhiza kurroa), Tulasi (holy basil) are some of the
Ayurvedic herbs that are helpful in building the immunity and preventing the
infection.
Citrus fruits like orange, grapefruit, lemon
are rich source of vitamin C and are good to consume. Add juice of half lemon to a cup of lukewarm water and drink
2-3 times a day. Drinking warm water and keeping hydrated is very beneficial.
Robust digestion: In Ayurveda, a good digestion
or strong digestive fire plays a very important role in fighting diseases. Eat
a piece of fresh ginger or drink ginger tea.
Mint tea, cinnamon tea and fennel tea are
also good. You can also make this recipe: Take one liter water and add to it
one teaspoonful of each – fennel, cumin,
coriander powder and fresh grated ginger. Boil everything together for a
few minutes, filter and fill in a thermos. Keep sipping this water throughout
the day.
Another recipe: Take one cup of water and add a
piece of crushed fresh ginger, two pieces of
black pepper, two pieces of cloves and a pinch of turmeric powder and
boil nicely for a few minutes. Filter and drink warm. Honey can be added as
sweetener.
Nasya: Putting 2-3 drops of sesame oil in each nostril and sniffing it in
will not only lubricate the nasal passage and throat but also strengthen the
inner mucus membrane to keep away foreign bodies. Nasya can be done with
medicated oils like Anu oil and shadabindu oil.
Garling with lukewarm salty water 2-3
times a day.
Clear Bowels: According to Ayurveda evacuation
of bowels every morning is a very important part of health. If you feel
constipated take two tablets of Triphala
or one teaspoonful of Triphala powder
with lukewarm water at bedtime.
Once again, please
stay calm and practice yoga, pranayama
(breathing exercises) and meditation. I wish you all health and
happiness. For any other queries, please feel free to contact Jiva

1. Vitamin C and D3
Vitamin C supports a healthy immune system. Daily
needs for vitamin C is 300 milligrams daily and up to 1,000–3,000 milligrams
daily during times when you may wish to consume more. The best dietary sources
of vitamin C are fruits and veggies, including citrus fruits, tomatoes, peppers
and berries.
Vitamin D3 is also beneficial for its ability to
support a healthy immune system. Vitamin D3 is also integral to the normal,
healthy function of immune cells in the body. Dosage recommendations vary from
400 to 800 IU per day to up to 5,000 IU.
2. Red algae
Some research shows that certain compounds isolated
from red algae, also known as Griffithsia, could help support a healthy immune
system and healthy immune system function.
However, more research is needed to determine
conclusive results.
3. Licorice root
Glycyrrhizin, an active compound found in licorice
root, may possess powerful health-supporting and healthy immune
system-supporting properties. Still, additional studies should be conducted to
evaluate licorice root’s benefits.
4. Elderberry syrup
Elderberry syrup has been shown to help support a
healthy immune system and healthy immune system function.
5. Healthy immune system–supporting
foods and herbs
Dr. Josh Axe also consumes these healthy immune
system–supporting foods and herbs, some of which have been traditionally used
for thousands of years. This includes foods that are light yellow or white in
color, including:
- Chicken broth
- Garlic
- Ginger
Similarly, he recommends that you consume a diet
rich in vegetables, vitamin C–rich fruits, manuka honey, herbs, spices, and
wild organic meat like poultry and bone broth. An ideal meal for supporting a
healthy immune system, for example, is homemade chicken soup (add ginger and
garlic to the recipe).
Native to New Zealand, manuka honey is a type of
honey that has been highly regarded for its beneficial healthy immune
system-supporting properties.
In addition, the herb echinacea may be beneficial.
6. Oregano oil
Oregano oil, too, can be helpful in supporting a
healthy immune system and healthy immune system function. Its primary active
component, carvacrol, is what is believed to provide these benefits.

Essential Oils
The
oils listed below each assist the respiratory system. Some are better for
children, some are better for adults who can handle a more intense essential
oil. Use these oils with
Warning: DO NOT INGEST! These oils are to be taken through INHALATION ONLY! I am quite aware of the multi-level marketing
companies out there that tout ingestion as the end all be all for every ailment
known to humankind. The casual manner in which such potent oils are being used
is a dangerous practice, especially in the hands of sales reps with no
aromatherapy training. There is a time and place for ingesting oils. This isn’t
it.
- Thyme, Thymus vulgaris
- Oregano, Origanum vulgare
- Eucalyptus, Eucalyptus globulus
- Rosemary, Rosmarinus officinalis
- Lavender, Lavandula angustifolia
