Abstract

Among all trividha chikitsa, Daivavyapashraya Chikitsa is the most ignored modality of treatment in the present scenario due to peak growth in western culture.Daivavyapashraya Chikitsa has been explain by our Acharya’s in the disease caused by AgantujaHetu/viruses and Past deed diseases. In Sushruta samhita it has been explained the importance of Daivavyapashraya Chikitsa to fight against Maraka (epidemic) and Janapadadhwamsa (pandemic) which can be taken as present scenario i.e COVID 19. Covid 19 is an infectious disease drawn attention to everyone globally since Mid of November 2019. It is likely to be zoonotic in origin and due to its unique nature of its spread from person to person turns to be fatal with existed co morbidities. Even though extensive measures have been taken to control by Government but no specific and standard line of treatment or cure has been identify till date. So in such cases the daivavyapashraya chikitsa stands as choice of treatment modality. In this review article covid 19 has been discussed on interpretation of Sushrata's concept of Maraka and Janapadadhwamsa with its hetu, lakshana and chikitsa. Here we come up with some guidelines which may act as preventive, protective and curative against the pandemic like Covid 19.
