    Abstract The world is facing a global crisis and health emergency of COVID-19. Understanding of COVID-19 pathophysiology in ayurvedic host centric framework is prerequisite for apt use of Ayurveda. This paper reviews COVID-19 pathophysiology, clinical presentations and prognosis in ayurvedic perspective. Concept of exogenous pathogenic diseases can be traced in fever, microbes, toxins, epidemics and seasonal regimens chapters of Ayurveda. Such exogenous diseases later manifest multi-system presentation according to involvement of different ‘Dosha’ and derangement of ‘Agni’. The pathology of COVID-19 is primarily that of Sannipata Jwara (fever) with involvement of respiratory system. Secondary manifestations include coagulopathies, cardiovascular, neural, and renal complications. Gastrointestinal system is closely associated with respiratory mechanism in ayurvedic pathophysiological conceptualization of Srotas. Abnormal immune responses in COVID-19 are result of abnormalities of Tridosha, Rakta (blood) and Ojus (Vital nectar). The initial phase is Vata-Kapha dominant whereas later stage of aggravated immune response is Vata-Pitta dominant. Alveolar damage, coagulopathies indicate Rakta dhatu vitiation. With this integrative understanding of COVID-19, we propose novel strategies for therapeutics and prophylaxis. Measures for ‘Conservation of Agni-bala’, ‘Attainment of Rakta- Pitta-Prana homeostasis and ‘Protection of Tri-Marma i.e. vital organs’ can be important Host based strategies for reduction in the mortality in COVID-19 and for better clinical outcomes. This host centric approach can make paradigm shift in management of this epidemic.

    Abstract 'Renaissance took place in Chaos and plague'. It was COVID-19 pandemic, when world realized ayurveda co-interventions are praiseworthy even in acute, infective and fatal conditions like COVID-19. We report perhaps first case of COVID-19 patient with cancer managed with poly-herbal ayurvedic formulation and integrated approach. In the first wave of COVID-19 (June 2020), a 47 year old male with history of Chronic kidney disease and active B Cell Lymphoma complained of fever, malaise, cattarah and ageusia. He was found positive on RT-PCR which was done promptly and was later treated in home quarantine with antipyretics, Vitamin C and Madhav rasayan a polyherbal preparation containing

    Abstract ‘Renaissance took place in Chaos and plague’. It was COVID-19 pandemic, world realized that ayurveda co-interventions are praiseworthy even in acute and infective and fatal conditions like COVID-19. We report perhaps first case of COVID-19 patient with cancer managed with poly-herbal ayurvedic formulation and integrated approach. In first wave of COVID-19 (June 2020), a 47 year old male with history of Chronic kidney disease and active B Cell Lymphoma complained of fever, malaise, cattarah and ageusia. He was found positive on RT-PCR which was done promptly and was later treated in home quarantine with antipyretics, Vitamin C and Madhav rasayan a polyherbal preparation containing Piper longum, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Eclipta alba, Achyranthes aspera, Embelia ribes and Aloe vera designed to modulate host response. It was challenging to treat a patient with cancer and immunocompromised status as he had recently finished his chemotherapy cycle (R-CHOP regimen). Patient well tolerated the intervention and recovered symptomatically. He did not developed any respiratory complications and oxygen saturation remained maintained. On 7th day RT-PCR was found to be negative. Plethora of literature is available on anti-viral and immunomodulatory efficacies of Ayurveda herbs based on in vitro studies. Such efficacies can be replicated at patient’s level if supported with wisdom of Ayurveda epistemology. Early diagnosis on RT-PCR and early inception of ayurveda medicine and diet interventions might be crucial element for better recovery.
