Living with CoVid –the Ayurveda way
CoVid 19 pandemic the deadliest disease of the century is wreaking havoc throughout the globe. Whilst it has receded in Europe, the stint with death and damage is storming America and Asia. No specific medication or vaccination has not yet evolved. Prevention and mitigation by breaking the chain of transmission is the only available effective means of control for CoVid 19 presently.
