India's healthcare system is under pressure with one doctor serving 1456 people, far from the World Health Organization's recommended ratio of one doctor per 1000 population. As a result, traditional remedies have become popular in India as a substitute for a proper medical system. With its rich diversity of medicinal herbs and drugs, India's 5000-year-old medication system has effectively managed health issues and is now playing a crucial role in combating COVID-19.
With the global death toll nearing 3.3 million, India being amongst the top 4 countries, the condition is more than fearsome. World Health Organization (WHO) recommends one doctor per 1000 population ratio, but India lags it by one doctor to 1456 people, which sets a lot of pressure on the healthcare system. Traditional remedies are becoming increasingly popular in India as a result of the lack of a proper medical system. Due to the rich diversity of medicinal herbs and drugs, India has been managing health issues with its 5000 years old medication system. Amidst all this, the traditional medicine system has given relief to plenty of diseases and remains the primary defence system against COVID-19. Therefore, COVID-19 is also managed by its different medicinal systems, which are collectively known as the AYUSH regime. It had been a recognized system to tackle diseases in the past. In this mini-review, we performed a deep study of the Indian traditional medicine system in managing the COVID-19 situation.
