Responding to the need of fresh guidelines in the face of the emergence of the second wave of the pandemic, Ministry of Ayush yesterday released revised guidelines for Ayurveda and Unani Practitioners for COVID-19 Patients in Home Isolation and Ayurveda and Unani Preventive Measures for self-care during COVID-19 Pandemic.

These Guidelines and Advisories were developed through an extensive consultative process by the Empowered Committee

The Ministry of Ayush issued an advisory on 29th January last year on how to protect oneself from COVID-19 and how to stay healthy. In this context, the Ministry of Ayush has also promoted use of ready-made formulation like AyushKwath Ayurveda which is a simple admixture of four herbal ingredients.
