Abstract: The pandemic of COVID 19 caused by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) presents an extraordinary challenge to health care system across the globe. COVID 19 is highly contagious disease with an incubation period of 2 to 14 days and causes respiratory infection including fever, cough, sore throat, malaise, breathlessness among others. The clinical features vary from mild in most people to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and multi organ dysfunction. Most people are asymptomatic and person with co-morbidities and low immunity are more vulnerable. Treatment is essentially supportive with no proven effective therapeutic agent and worldwide there is quest to develop vaccine against virus. With no concrete evidence based therapeutic options for prevention and treatment of patients, one strategy is to boost the immunity of individual. The ancient classical textbooks of Ayurveda, Charaksamhita and Susrutasamhita refers to epidemics, delineate its pathogenesis and measures required for its management. The traditional medicines such as in Ayurveda can help patients to fight against virus by modulating the immunity of a person. This review highlights important clinical features of COVID-19, treatment strategies and options, and role of ayurveda in its management.
