There are many pieces of news about COVID-19 or coronavirus on news channels. From China, this coronavirus is spreading in other countries. As per the news, it has entered India too through South Korea and Italy.

 

Many are circulating lists of precautions on what’s app in order to prevent it from spreading. Some are using pollution masks and hand sanitizers frequently. Up to now, 31 cases of coronavirus have been reported in the country.

 

But don’t panic. Prevention is easy. Take care of hygiene and strengthen your immunity so that you can save yourself not only from coronavirus but also from other harmful viruses.

 

When it is about strengthening the immune system, Ayurveda can be useful. It gives special attention to the purity and immunity of the body. Ayurvedic treatment includes herbs, dietary changes, therapies, yoga and meditation. Ayurvedic/natural tips that can help you have a strong immunity.

 

Keep your throat clean

 

Bacteria and germs take place in the throat and nose and from there they try to enter the bloodstream. A bacteria-and-germs-ridden throat may influence the immune system negatively. Gargling with warm saltwater can keep your throat and nose clean and help you boost your immunity.

 

Take tulsi (holy basil) tea

 

Tulsi, one of the most effective herbs, can have magical effects on your health. It can reduce fever, stress and headache and also clean lungs. Tulsi can also relieve respiratory problems.

 

Take deep breaths

 

The body needs oxygen for various functions. Insufficient intake of oxygen may cause lethargy, tiredness, stress and other health issues. What I have understood by Yoga is the body gets ‘pran’, the vital energy by breathing. Deep breaths can improve energy levels, digestion, stress, concentration and more.

 

Balance your doshas

 

Ayurveda talks of three doshas—kapha, pitta and vatta. These doshas determine physiological activity. When they are balanced, the body has strong immune and nervous systems. Balancing doshas can decrease inflammation, promote heart health, improve sleep, promote weight loss etc.

 

Go for abhyanga

 

Abhyanga is an Ayurvedic practice in which massage with special herbal oils is given. It can provide several health benefits such as reduced stress, lower blood pressure, decreased muscle stiffness and improved blood flow. Therefore, it can play a prominent role in increasing the immunity power.

 

Take health supplements

 

Proper nutrition is very important in maintaining good health and effective immune system. In our busy schedule, we often miss out some of the essential nutrients in our diet. If you find yourself unable to take essential nutrients, you can take a good quality health supplement to have all the essential nutrients such as vitamins, minerals proteins etc.

 

Sleep well

 

We often compromise with our sleep because we are busy or because we are stressed. Many may not be aware of it; sleep plays a vital role in the health of the body. When you are sleeping, your body is in a deep mode of repairing and rejuvenating. When deprived of sleep, the body’s immune system may go weak.

 

Go for an Ayurvedic detox

 

Although, we have a natural detoxification system in our body, we may need to take a body detox. Detoxification of the body can provide plenty of health benefits. It can strengthen the immune system, the nervous system and the digestive system. It can also provide glowing skin and lustrous hair by removing toxins from the body.

 

The body can get toxins from the different sources such as increasing pollution, unhealthy foods, pesticides in foods and pollutants in water. When the body is full of toxins, it starts losing its healing and rejuvenating power and may fall ill.
