A joint team of researchers from the IIT-Delhi and Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya, Haridwar, have found that yoga and ayurveda may be effective in the treatment of high-risk cases of Covid-19 following a research study on successful treatment of 30 high-risk patients. Besides the standard care treatment as per guidelines, the patients were prescribed ayurvedic medicines through telemedicine, and administered a personalised therapeutic yoga programme using video conferencing. Almost all the patients were classified as high-risk owing to one or more of co-morbidities such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, coronary artery disease which are known to lead to severe outcomes in cases of Covid-19, and/or age above 60.
