A team of researchers from Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya and IIT Delhi reported that yoga and Ayurveda can be effective in treating high-risk cases of COVID-19.
In addition to the standard care treatment as per the guidelines, the patients were prescribed Ayurvedic medicines through telemedicine and conducted a personalized therapeutic yoga program using video conferencing. Almost all patients are classified as high risk due to one or more co-morbidities such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, and coronary artery disease (which are known to lead to severe consequences in cases of COVID-19) went. and/or above 60 years of age.
