In Ayurved there has been a mentioned of Aupasargic Rog (communicable diseases) in Sushrut, Vagbhat, Madav Nidan Samhita etc. Also there is a complete Adhyay mentioned in Charak Samhita about the Janapadodhwansa (Pandemics). Similarly Agantuj Rog (caused by external causes) also been mentioned in Ayurved by various Acharya. In current scenario, the whole world is suffering with the deadliest pandemic and communicable disease i.e. COVID-19 caused by SARS- COV 2 virus generally called as Corona Virus. The entire world is still finding the curative treatment for this disorder. Though various vaccination modules are being tried, still the government is certainly advising the people to be safe and follow the preventive measures to avoid this infection. This is what Ayurved has been advising since ages to first prevent oneself by getting ill. So prevention is the need of time to fight with this COVID-19 disease or in fact with any pandemic disease.
