WHO said ‘To date there is no specific medicine recommended to prevent or treat the novel coronavirus’ [68]. In view of the fact that there are no drugs and vaccines, that are approved, for treating COVID-19, many are turning toward herbal medicines that are either of the Indian or Chinese origin. There are many herbs in Indian Ayurveda that have the potential for prophylaxis and treatment of corona virus infection. For instance, Rastogi et al. reported a ‘pragmatic and plausible plan of action for Ayurvedic intervention’ of various Ayurvedic drugs that have the potential to be used in mild to severe COVID-19 symptoms [69]. Subjects who are not yet exposed and asymptomatic group can use Ayurvedic ‘Swarna Prashana’ and ‘Rasayana’ as potential immunity boosting agents [70–73]. This in combination with social distancing helps in preventing the spread of disease [74].
