Abstract

COVID-19 is an emerging virus of now-a-days which causes severe lung infection. This mutated virus is very contagious in nature. Ayurveda since ancient times is serving humanity in a positive way. Rasa Shastra (pharmaceutics) is the branch of Ayurveda which deals with the manufacturing of different types of Aushadhies (medicines). By the process of Shodhana (purification) , Marana (incineration) and Moorchhna (manufacturing) along with the help of cow dung cakes , many medicines are prepared. There are a lots of complicated and untreatable diseases which are possible to treat with the help of Rasa Shastra a branch of Ayurveda.There are many more processes by which diseases are treated indirectly by killing microorganisms outside the body of the host. This article is an attempt in a same way for dealing with the present threat of pandemic. According to the popular proverb “Diamond Cuts Diamond”, this animal virus can be controlled by another animal antidote. In old sacred religious books importance of almost every animal is described. New generations must follow the instructions given by the ancient sages in all the said ways to stay healthy.
