Kadhas, for example, were a hit in the times of COVID-19. It provided people with a sense of security, helped build immunity, and gave strength to the body to fight external factors.

Fights Pollution

In Ayurveda, it is believed that polluted air or environment can lead to a spike in viral infections. Ayurveda suggests different ways to purify the air we breathe. The use of Dhup for fumigation is common in our culture. This particular product is made with extracts of various plants that have anti-microbial properties to help fumigate the air we breathe. It also helps keep insects such as mosquitoes away. Ayurveda also advocates the use of Neem leaves and karpoora for fumigation.

Cleans water

Because Ayurveda is based on the principles of purity, it recognises the importance of clean unadulterated water. It states the dangers of polluted and contaminated water. Boiling water kills the harmful bacteria in it and helps avoid diseases. It also helps in controlling the pandemic effects. Exposing water to sunlight is also known to be beneficial. Thanks to Ayurveda the three-way purification system was developed where a filter system is created with sand-filled wooden cokes and sand-filled pots that allow the water to slowly trickle down as a pure form.

The future is bright for Ayurveda as now there are scientific research being conducted into many of the claims made by practitioners of this field of medicine.
