Boost Immunity with Ayurvedic Medicine to Protect Yourself From Covid-19

Covid-19 is here to stay and will not be going away anytime soon. Singapore has plans to treat the disease as endemic, and most people will likely come face to face with the disease.

How do you protect yourself from Covid-19?

Getting yourself vaccinated is an important first step towards protecting yourself from Covid-19. Although it does not entirely prevent you from getting the disease, vaccination protects you from getting seriously ill. The next step you can take is to boost your immunity.

You can boost your immunity naturally with many herbs containing the necessary vitamins to help fight against Covid-19. Besides the well-known Vitamin C, Vitamin E is known for its antioxidant properties in helping to fight off infections. Vitamin B6 supports biochemical reactions in our immune system.

Ayurvedic medicines contain many of these vitamins and other natural immune boosters. The medicines are extracted and processed from medicinal herbs, rich sources of vitamins and other essential elements.

What are some of the benefits of Ayurvedic medicines?

Ayurvedic medicines like Dasamoolam (root preparations from Solanaceae family) and Devatharam (Cedrus deodara) possess strong antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Indian Gooseberry is an integral part of these drugs. Their preparation involves preparing a decoction of herbs, followed by dried extraction and addition of honey, ghee, jaggery etc. and aromatic herb powders (namely clove, cardamom, and cinnamon).

Some finished Ayurvedic medicine products have a fruit jam-like consistency, while some are sweet, sour, or spicy. They help restore drained reserves of life force (‘Ojas’) and preserve strength & stamina.

Ayurvedic medicines contain fruits, roots and other plant parts that can be used either in their natural, raw form or processed form. For ease of use and to maximise the benefits, polyherbal formulations are prepared using various preservation methods like hot air drying, vacuum drying, and low-pressure superheated steam drying.

The quality of Ayurvedic medicine products is as important as its content, especially in the pharmaceutical industry. At Indian Ayurvedic Center Singapore, we use authentic Ayurvedic preparations from approved traditional institutions from India, such as Arya Vaidya Sala Kottakkal.
