Abstract:
Infection of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV- 2) which causes novel
corona virus disease (COVID-19) has put the world in a medical disaster. Scientists are taking vast
efforts to contain the disease by finding a vaccine or clinically proven medicine. Despite the efforts
there is no proven medication in any stream of medicine. Covid19 affects respiratory tract and causes
pneumonia. Here we are presenting a case series report of patients who had developed Covid19 with
subsequent pneumonia and approached for Ayurvedic treatment. All these patients were primarily
diagnosed with Covid-19 by RT PCR and SAARS Covid-19 Antigen test. They had subsequently
