                     Anjum Khanna - Ayurvedic Consultant Shows How 
Ayurveda Could Help Indians To Recover From 
COVID-19
As always, Ayurveda has come to the rescue of Indians dealing 
with the direct and indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. 
Ayurvedic Consultants like Anjum Khanna have been 
instrumental in propagating the health benefits as per Ayurveda 
to people looking to safeguard themselves and their families 
against the Coronavirus. What has boosted the public faith in 
ancient healthcare is the fact that India’s recovery rate is among 
the best in the world. The Union Health Ministry recently 
revealed that the national COVID-19 recovery rate for India was 
96.04 per cent. This was mainly applicable for patients with mild 
symptoms, who were able to make a speedier recovery.
Anjum Khanna is an Ayurvedic Consultant with a decade-long 
experience in practicing this alternative medicine. Talking about 
the self-care measures prescribed by Ayurveda, Anjum Khanna
 says equivocally
 “Daily practices like drinking warm water regularly, practicing Yoga 
daily, meditating for at least 30 minutes every day, were really 
beneficial practices to follow. Besides, regular and sufficient use of 
spices like Haldi, Jeera, Dhaniya and Lehsun (turmeric, Cumin, 
Coriander and Garlic) in your cooked food also enhances your 
immune power.”
Drinking ‘Kadha’ or a herbal concoction daily also boosts your 
immunity, as prescribed by several experienced Ayurveda 
consultants. This Kadha is a herbal concoction prepared usually 
with Tulsi (Basil), Dalchini (Cinnamon), Kali Mirch (Black Pepper), 
Shunthi (Dry Ginger) and Munakka (Raisin). Ayurveda consultants 
often advice adding a bit of jaggery or fresh lemon juice to make 
the Kadha more palatable!
Turmeric’s antiseptic benefits are world-renowned and though the 
Western world started having its ‘turmeric lattes’ quite late, Indians 
have been reaping the health benefits of the quintessential ‘Haldi-
doodh’ (turmeric in warm milk) for centuries. Then there is the 
“Chyawanprash”, just one teaspoon of it is enough to prevent a 
variety of health issues.
Ayurveda procedures like nasal treatment or oil-pulling therapy works 
wonders to keep your body fit and immune against the onset of 
diseases.
According to Anjum Khanna, the most significant aspect of 
encountering COVID-19 is to recover in a healthy manner. Thus, post-
COVID care is as important as the treatment itself. Proper rest, 
physical isolation, a nutritious diet, simple exercises, and regular 
check-ups are an important aspect of helping the body regain 
normalcy after facing the virus.
Whether it is drinking Haldi-doodh, Kadha, using 
ginger/garlic/turmeric in cooking food or practicing Yoga, Indians are 
known to follow Ayurveda in every aspect of life, knowingly or 
unknowingly. The COVID-19 Pandemic only made us realize the 
importance of following Ayurveda practices in a more proactive 
manner.
