After PM's push, more states line up Homeopathy and other AYUSH options in Covid-19 care
NEW DELHI: Following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's repeated push to the AYUSH ministry guidelines, which suggest a range of home remedies to boost immunity, many states have started mass distribution of Ayurvedic medicines and homeopathy immunity boosters.
Many states are also administering the recommended concoctions and medicines to patients in government quarantine facilities with mild symptoms, those who are recovering from Covid-19 and also to their asymptomatic contacts.
Deputy director, AYUSH department in Madhya Pradesh, PC Sharma, told ET that the state has already started mass distribution of Ayurvedic products such as Sanshamani Vati and Anutel and packets of Trikatu, Also, nearly 700 patients quarantined in the severely-hit areas of Bhopal, Indore and Ujjain are being given Arogya-20, a concoction prepared by the state AYUSH department, with essential herbs twice a day, to boost immunity.
In Tamil Nadu, under the Arogyam campaign, nearly one lakh families living in containment zones are being given the herbal concoctions kabasura kudineer and nilavembu kudineer. Director of Indian Medicine and Homeopathy, S Ganesan, said the “siddha concoctions” were given to 13 lakh people in several districts of the state, especially to the primary and secondary contacts of Covid-19 patients. “Now, we have started the distribution in Chennai. We have also recommended these combinations to the central team which visited us,” he said.
Meanwhile, Karnataka has started house-to-house drive to spread awareness about AYUSH ministry guidelines. The department officials in the state are distributing Ayurvedic combinations of Sanshamani Vati and Ashwagandha, homeopathy medicine arsenic album and two Unani medicines to primary and secondary contacts in red zones. The department has already sought permission to administer Ayurvedic immunity boosters to patients in quarantine centres, according to an official. “Depending on official data and some inferences, we know where Ayurveda is popular in coastal areas. In Muslim areas, we are distributing Unani medicines,” an official said.
Punjab has already written to the Centre for procuring some of the Ayurvedic medicines recommended by the AYUSH ministry. ET has learnt that the state has also sought permission for some of these medicines to be used for treating contacts of Covid-19 patients.
Rajasthan’s secretary to the department of Ayurveda and Indian System of Medicine, Gayatri Rathore, said state pharmacies have come up with sachets of a traditional Ayurvedic concoction which has been distributed to over 15 lakh people, including frontline workers and police personnel. “There are also instructions given about the dosage. We are also telling people not to be complacent with immunity boosters, as social distancing and hand washing are important.”
The Rajasthan government has roped in more than 6,000 AYUSH doctors and compounders to assist the medical staff engaged in combating the pandemic. It has also allowed administering of AYUSH medicines to contacts of Covid-19 patients, in consultation with respective medical officer of the area. The state has also given permission to district officials to procure AYUSH medicines from local outlets, if there is a need.
Delhi AYUSH department head RK Manchanda said, “Ayurvedic and homeopathic medicines are being given to those who are coming to AYUSH medical centres with mild symptoms and also to some patients in containment zones who don't have severe symptoms. We are focusing on an integrated approach and also looking at how our ancient wisdom can be validated in the context of contemporary realities.”
The Delhi government has also started a “happiness therapy” course comprising yoga and breathing exercises in some of its quarantine facilities.
Gujarat started administering ayurvedic medicines to asymptomatic patients in the hotspots of Ahmedabad. “The government has also distributed ayurvedic medicines to over 1.26 crore people in Gujarat,” said an official.
Telangana AYUSH medical officer N Lingaraju said, “Unani decoction, chyawanprash and arsenic album are being given to primary and secondary contacts.” Ayurveda and homeopathy colleges and institutions have been transformed into isolation wards. "If the symptoms are extreme and the tests are positive, then we are sending patients to other hospitals. For those who are being sent to home quarantine, after being tested negative, we are prescribing a list of traditional immunity boosters.”
Earlier this month, the AYUSH ministry had sent out a new advisory to states suggesting “add-on traditional medicine interventions to conventional care”. It had also urged the consumption of ‘chyawanprash’ in the morning and “herbal tea” or decoction made of tulsi, cinnamon, black pepper, dry ginger and milk with turmeric. The advisory also suggested the intake of the anti-malarial ayurvedic drug, AYUSH 64, developed by the ministry.

Homeopathic medicine at Civic hospital, Mumbai - Dean
Mumbai: In a letter addressed to the Director of the Central Council of Homeopathy (CCH) in New Delhi, the Dean of Seven Hills Hospital in Marol – a municipal hospital serving as a COVID-19 isolation hospital – has said that homeopathic medicine Zincum Muriaticum, at a dilution of 200 C, was given to some COVID-19 patients at the hospital, and that the recovery of these patients was a day or two earlier than other COVID-19 patients.
Joshi has also sought permission from the Director of the CCH – which is a statutory body under the Ministry of AYUSH – to administer the same medication to more COVID-19 patients at the hospital. In his letter, dated April 21, the Dean of Seven Hills wrote, "This is with regards to the use of homeopathic medicines Zincum Muriaticum 200c (Four pills three times a day). When we used this above mentioned homeopathic medication to the COVID-19 positive patients in the SevenHills COVID-19 isolation hospital, Mumbai, it was observed that the recovery of patients was a day or two before other positive patients."
"We have used this medication for 24 patients, wherein the above outcome was observed. This will be followed with more number of patients with your permission," Joshi’s letter states. When contacted, Joshi told The Free Press Journal: "I believe in homeopathy, and I have trust and faith in this. I have given it to some of the patients, and the results were effective."
"I have heard that the ministry is also looking into it, and has said that practitioners of other streams of medicine can also come forward if they have any ideas on how to cure coronavirus patients. I am aware that discussions are on with the central government, and that a letter has been sent in this regard by the Dean", said Daksha Shah, Deputy Executive Health Officer, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).
There is no vaccine or specific treatment proven to prevent or cure Covid-19 currently. Doctors in Mumbai have had a fair measure of success in curing patients with a combination of drugs used to treat swine flu, malaria, and HIV. For want of a specific vaccine or medication for Covid-19, doctors have been forced to fall back on hydroxychloroquine, oseltamivir, and Lopinavir and other medicines as the course of treatment so far. The same line of treatment is being used for patients ranging in age between 35 and 70. The treatment protocol of some of the cured patients shows that this cocktail of drugs has been successful in fighting the virus.

Worthy homeopathic proposals will be short-listed for ICMR Study - Dr. Harsh Vardhan
ICMR will shortlist worthy proposals of homeopathy and ayurveda, said Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan.
When asked if it is advisable to use ayurveda and homeopathy to treat coronavirus, he said the government has a “very open mind” on the subject.
The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and the Ministry of AYUSH are already in the process of developing research protocols for establishing and validating the claims of various ayurveda and homeopathic practitioners for Covid-19 solutions. “Worthy proposals sent to us are being shortlisted,” he added.
The ministry has already issued guidelines on how to improve body resistance and strengthen immune capacity, the minister said.
“The Hon’ble Prime Minister has, time and again, appealed to people to follow the guidelines. We have full faith in the overall strength of ayurveda and homeopathy as definite systems of medicine,” he said.

About
Welcome to CovidHomeo!
Almost the whole world is suffering from pandemic known as COVID-19 by one or the other way, irrespective of economic, technologic, weapon, political advantages they have. Homeopathic remedies have been used as prophylactic to prevent the epidemic since centuries. This site gives information on homeopathy in respect to COVID-19.Tracing the history it was Hahnemann who first applied the genus epidemicus in 1799 during a scarlet fever epidemic he treated in the German town Königslutter. It is an interesting story that how how Dr. Hahnemann had accidentally discovered the genus epidemicus. A few members of large family with scarlet fever approached Dr. Hahnemann for treatment. He noticed that a child already under the doses Belladonna for other problem did not develop symptoms of scarlet fever. That was the moment he discovered Belladonna as a prophylactic for the entire family which he administered to all of them. Hahnemann concluded that a remedy that rapidly cures at the onset of an illness would be the best preventative.
Homeopathy was successfully applied during the epidemic of Spanish flu in 1918-19, where around 20 million people died globally. Mortality rate in homeopathic treated population was 1-2%, whereas it was 30-60% in people treated by conventional physicians. Chikungunya, dengue fever, acute encephalitis/japanese encephalitis, cholera and dengue were also successfully managed with homeopathy.
Recenlty Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India has published the recommendation of Expert Committee constituted by CCRH for the using of Arsenicum album 30CH as Genus epidemicus for prevention. Following that, many governments and autonomous bodies under different governments have used this as prophylactic. Apart from that, many other stalwarts have suggested possible role of other drugs in the current situation. A group of homeopaths from Italy have published an observational study of confirmed or suspected COVID-19 patients. None of the patients was required hospitalization.
This site contains database on homeoeopathy in respect to COVID-19.

5 Step Strategy for Prevention and Homoeopathic Treatment Of Coronavirus Disease Covid 19 - Dr. Rohit Gupta
19 April 19, 2020 by Team Homeopathy 360
Author: Dr Rohit Gupta, BHMS,
Author of the book “KEYNOTES ADVANCE & COMPLETE” (new
& updated edition of Allen’s Keynotes)
“Brief resume of the intended work”
Corona Virus Disease characterized by fever, cough, dyspnea,
muscle ache, sore throat, headache of patient and positive RT-PCR test for
covid19. The present strategy of Homoeopathy in the treatment of Corona virus
disease and utility of Homoeopathic management in this type of case. This
strategy is intended to perform proper case taking and individualization for
prescribing the similimum. Each case will be assessed on the basis of
Subjective, objective symptoms and Laboratory Investigations.
Introduction
Definition: Coronaviruses are pleomorphic, single-stranded RNA viruses. Corona virus,
most frequently causes common cold. In general， human
corona viruses have been difficult to cultivate in vitro, and some strains grow
only in human tracheal organ cultures rather than in tissue culture. People
with COVID-19 have had a wide range of symptoms reported – ranging from mild
symptoms to severe illness.
Cause: The mechanisms of transmission of SARS are
incompletely understood. Clusters of cases suggest that spread may occur via
both large and small-droplet aerosols and perhaps via the fecal-oral route as
well. Corona virus infections appear to be particularly prevalent in late fall
winter and early spring-times when rhinovirus infections are less common.
Symptoms & Signs: After an incubation period that
generally lasts 1-14 days，SARS usually begins as a systemic
illness marked by the onset of fever， which is often accompanied by
malaise headache and myalgias and is followed in 1-2 days by a nonproductive
dry cough, sore throat, shortness of breath. Approximately 25% of patients have
diarrhea.
Complications: In severe cases, respiratory function may
worsen during the second week of illness and progress to frank adult
respiratory distress syndrome accompanied by multi-organ dysfunction. Risk
factors for severe disease include an age of >50 years and co-morbidities
such as cardiovascular disease， diabetes and hepatitis. Illness in
pregnant women may be particularly severe.
Investigation: Laboratory tests are Blood tests for
CBC(Complete blood count), RT-PCR test for covid-19, nasal or throat swab test,
CXR.
Dietary recommendation: Plenty of liquids with vitamin c
supplementation from natural sources.
Homoeopathic Management: There is no specific therapy for
SARS with established efficacy. Homoeopathy is a science of therapeutics which
assumes that a deviation from normal that can be restored to normal by means of
stimuli, applied in the form of medicine, in very minute doses necessary to
provoke a change in the state of disorder.
In treatment of corona virus disease, medicine will be prescribed on the
basis of keynotes symptoms and for genus epidemicus, medicine will be
prescribed on the basis of totality of symptoms of different constitution in
different age groups of many cases.
In homoeopathy, medicine is obtained after drug proving
(§105-§145) & prepared (§264-§271) according to guidelines laid down by
Homoeopathic Pharmacopoeia of India (HPI), are selected on the basis of
constitutional & PQRS symptoms obtained after proper case taking
(§82-§104), and are administered (§272-§291) to the patient. After proper case
taking totality is formed & finally the medicine has given in accordance
with the principles of homoeopathy as given in ‘Organon of Medicine’ and giving
due importance to underlying miasm.
CONCLUSION:
5 step strategy for the treatment of coronavirus disease,
based on knowledge & reference of Materia Medica, Organon Of Medicine and
Allied subjects –
1. Coronavirus disease’s natural prophylaxis with an
important suggestion for preparation & clinical trial of 2 Homeopathic
prophylaxis – COVID 30 & Hydroxychloroquine 200 for Corona Virus disease to
CCRH,
2. Homoeopathic Treatment for Corona Virus infection,
3. Differential Diagnosis of Corona Virus, Influenza, Swine
Flu & Viral Fever with differential Homoeopathic treatment,
4. Post effect of Allopathic Treatment of Corona Virus by
some Homoeopathic medicines,
5. The miasmatic approach in the context of the Organon Of
Medicine in complicated cases of Corona Virus.
1. Natural prophylaxis: As per reference of Park’s
Preventive & Social Medicine, (20th ed) Vitamin C has an important role to
play tissue oxidation and a potent antioxidant, which can help in the
prevention of Common Cold(coronavirus) if consume according to dietary
requirements 40-60mg/day (1 medium size of Amla/Guava/Lemon). It also has been
published on medicinenet.com, named ‘To test the efficacy of vitamin C
infusions for the treatment of severe acute respiratory infection associated
with the novel coronavirus‘ and on clinicaltrials.gov, named ‘Vitamin C
infusion for the treatment of severe 2019-nCov Infected Pneumonia’. And as we
know that coronavirus disease is made from RNA virus and some nosodes already
prepared from RNA virus disease named, Lyssin from the saliva of a rabid dog,
Morbililinun from the exudate of the mouth and pharynx of patients suffering
from measles and not yet treated, and Infuenzinum under the reference of
aphorism 266 of Organon Of Medicine. So this is my sincere suggestion to CCRH
for manufacturing and clinical trial of COVID 30/covid.19 30ch and
Hydroxychloroquine 200 for prevention of side effects of allopathic medicinal
hazards if it will be given before allopathic treatment.
2. Differential diagnosis of CORONAVIRUS, INFLUENZA (Flu),
SWINE FLU and VIRAL FEVER:
CORONA VIRUS DISEASE: common signs & symptoms are fever,
body aches, malaise, dry cough, sore throat, shortness of breath (dyspnea),
headache and approximately 25% of patients have diarrhea.
INFLUENZA (Flu): common signs & symptoms are
fever/feverish feeling, body aches, malaise/fatigue, headache,
runny(watery)/stuffy(mucus) nose, sore throat, and cough.
SWINE FLU: common signs & symptoms are fever, chills, body
aches, malaise/fatigue, headache, sore throat, and cough.
VIRAL FEVER: common
signs & symptoms are fever, body aches, malaise/fatigue, runny(watery)
nose, sneeze, and cough.
All symptoms which have been written in bold, are
concomitant associated symptoms of the disease, necessary for differential
disease diagnosis.
3. Homoeopathic treatment of coronavirus should be followed
like treatment of any disease as written in aphorism 153, “the more striking,
singular, uncommon, and peculiar characteristic signs and symptoms” in Organon
Of Medicine, preferably under some homoeopathic medicine like: Allium Cepa,
Ars.alb., Belladonna, Bryonia Alba, Gelsemium, Merc., Nux Vom, Pulsatilla, Rhus
T, etc.
4. Homoeopathic treatment for Post/Side effects of Allopathic
treatment of Corona Virus patient by Apocynum can., Ferrum Met, Ipecacuanha,
Natrum Mur, Pulsatilla as written under after abuse of quinine in the book
‘Keynotes Advance & Complete’ and Hydroxychloroquine 200 if prepared in
future.
5. The miasmatic approach in the context of the Organon Of
Medicine in complicated cases of Corona Virus, Dr Hahnemann has guided us for
antipsoric aid ‘in such persons psora, striving to develop itself, always lies
at the root of the malady, and their intermittent fever cannot be cured in the
marshy district without antipsoric treatment and if the psora was not
completely developed and can consequently return to its latent state in
epidemic/endemic disease of Intermittent fever’ in aphorism 244 and its
footnote of Organon Of Medicine. He has suggested for use of Sulphate of
Quinine, and Chininum Sulph is the medicine which has been prepared from
Sulphite of Quinine. And another medicine is Chininum Ars(Arsenite of Quinine)
for prostration with the periodical asthmatic attack.
Genus epidemics of Corona virus disease has not decided
under the guidelines written in aphorism 100-102 in Organon Of Medicine by any
published clinical trial yet, which have been written as ‘Take a thorough case
for totality of symptoms when investigating an Epidemic or Sporadic disease, it
makes no difference if something similar has ever appeared before under the
same name or any other new name.The sketch of the epidemic disease picture
becomes complete with characteristics & peculiarities, like general
symptoms. But an epidemic disease and the totality of its symptoms can’t be
learned from single patient, only from the sufferings of several patients of
different constitutions.
A Homoeopathic physician must have knowledge of diseases for
diagnosis of corona virus disease, etc. as written in aphorism3,6,14,71,83,104
and as preserver of health(aphorism 4) follow all the preventive criteria of
the disease.

Invitation for research proposals under EMR Scheme of Ministry of AYUSH
Ministry of AYUSH, Govt. of India has Invited research proposals under EMR Scheme
Covid-19 and Homoeopathy by Dr. Amarsinha Nikam
The pandemic of COVID-19 expands aggressively all over, whose impact can also be seen through the increasing number of infected patients around us.
All the medical services have been trying hard to overcome this mishap, but nobody is achieved the desirable outcome.
The natural and gentle way of homoeopathic healing helps they individual to recover his health without any side effect or harm.
Homoeopathy is very helpful in such pandemic crisis.
As a homoeopath we are not able to research upon this due less number of opportunities.
Confusion about Genus Epidemicus:
Now we are going through a time, were different stalwarts are recommending different remedies, so their is a mere confusion in all homoeopaths about Genus epidemicus.
During the epidemic of Scarlet fever, after treating numerous patients Dr Samuel Hahnemann observed that patients with similar clinical presentation approached to him.
So he experienced and found that Belladonna medicine worked very well in curing those patients.
According to Dr Hahnemann this remedy could not only cure the pts but also used as a effective prophylactic medicine.
Henceforth this remedy, he termed as genus epidemicus for that epidemic situation.
The knowledge which is essential for enabling us to choose a most suitable homoeopathic remedy can only be obtained by complete survey of disease picture, of not only a single patient, but perfectly deducing it from several number of patients.
After thoroughly individualized examination of each patient, only then can a homeopath, succeed in finding a suitable homoeopathic remedy.
Thus, The Genus Epidemicus can be only identified after studying the symptom picture of outbreak closely.
In the present scenario, WHO has declared COVID-19 as a pandemic disease.
Even though homoeopathy can treat and control such viral outbreak, but Homoeopathic fraternity Is lacking in clinical trials for treating COVID-19.
So as of now we can't declare any remedy as a Genus epidemicus.
How Homoeopathy can Help?
As per the current available data on manifestation of corona virus, we can give Homoeopathic treatment and prophylaxis for it.
The symptoms of COVID-19 are:
• Dry cough
• Shortness of breath
• Fever
• Sore throat
• Headache
• Fatique
• Bodyache and pain
• Dirrohea
• Runnny or stuffy nose
Complications:
- Pneumonia
- ARDS
- Kidney Failure
- Sepsis
Above symptoms and complications clearly tells us about the severity and acute emergency of disease. So we should select the remedy which covers the similar pathophysiological state of disease.
Treatment in Homoeopathy:
As per my experience considering the totality of COVID-19, the most probable remedy is Naphthalinum 30c.
(Ref. Clarke's Materia Medica)
• Acute High grade fever with cough.
• Respiration: laboured and irregular;
• Cough in incessant paroxysms almost arresting breath.
• Night cough preventing sleep.
• Cough with blue or purple face.
• Expectoration: free, thick, tenacious; almost absent.
• Cough in violent paroxysms compelling the patient to hold his head for the pain.
• Fever: Sudden onset of fever,
• Headache
Note: It is not a Genus epidemicus.
Homoeopathic Prophylaxis:
The principles of Homoeopathy works on maintaining the Immunity of individual, so can be used as a effective prophylactic medicine.
Homoeopathic prophylaxis includes selection of individualized remedy by considering the peculiar characters of a person.
Few General characters which should not missed out during selection are:
Thermal, Thirst, Modalities, Sleep, Food agg, Desire, Aversion.
Some Remedies which can be consider:
Aconite, Antim.Tart, Arsenic, Ars.Iod, Belladonna, Bryonia, Camphora, Carb.Veg, Dulcamara, Drosera, Gelsemium, Hep.Sul, Kali.Bich, Kali.Carb, Mephitis, Merc, Merc I.R., Naphthalinum, Nux Vom, Phos, Puls, RhusTox, Rumex, Spongia, Stan.Met.
(Note: It should be taken under the guidance and observation of Homoeopathic physician.)
Potency selection:
Selection of potency should depend upon the factors which are:
- Suitable for all Age groups.
- Works in all susceptibility.
- Do not show Homoeopathic aggravation.
- Has the capacity to work on acute severe conditions.
So considering these few things as per our experience 30c potency which is medium potency is covering all possibilities.
Together we can.. and We will..
As there is No proper treatment for Covid-19, I request WHO to extend their research with the help of all pathies.
Homoeopathy is a science and art, so their is possibility of difference in remedies according to every homoeopath but to conquer on this worldwide crisis, we as a fraternity need to come together.
We must keep a record of our treatment with proper evidence. And we should discuss this, work on it, takes the opinion of other Homeopaths about it, which would help us for further research as a prophylaxis and treatment.
Let the world know, Homoeopathy can be a primary treatment for such crises.
