Corona virus/ Covid19

Sudden fever, dry cough, and breathlessness, COVID-19 struck like an unseen wind. Ayurveda views it as a janapadodhwamsa vikāra, a community-wide disorder caused by disturbed air (vāyu), water, and kāla (season), where weakened ojas and deranged doṣas allow pathogens to take hold.
