AYUSH- Health for All

There is a growing interest in Ayurveda and Indian medicine around
the world. In the fight against Corona, AYUSH has played an important
role, at the global level. The Doordarshan team interacted with AYUSH
beneficiaries to know their views.

"I was suffering from COVID-19, during the second wave. The self-
care guidelines issued by the Ministry of AYUSH like intake of Kaadha,
Chyawanprash, etc., helped me in winning the battle against the
pandemic."
Arushi Sharma, New Delhi
"AYUSH treatments have helped us stay safe against COVID-19. The
general measures by the AYUSH Ministry to enhance one's immunity
like consumption of lukewarm water, doing Yoga, drinking Haldi milk,
including certain spices like jeera, turmeric, garlic, coriander, etc., in daily
food, has helped many mother's like me to keep their children safe from
this pandemic."
Suman, Patna- Bihar
"The Ministry of AYUSH has made people more aware of the home
treatments that can be done to stay fit. The Kaadha contains Tulsi,
Dalchini, Kalimirch, Sonth, Munakka, jaggery and lemon juice. These
general measures have helped in understanding our rich traditional
wealth. I recommend all to continue consuming this concoction even
after the pandemic."
Avinash, Muzaffarpur- Bihar
"It was during the pandemic era that we realised that immunity is the
best and only weapon to fight COVID-19.The simple home remedies like
consumption of Chyawanprash, Kaadha has helped me and my family to
stay fit and immunized even after the pandemic. We still consume it and I
request all to adapt these simple yet most effective Ayurvedic treatments
in their daily lives and keep you and your family safe."
Nisha Dasana, New Delhi
