Mysuru: At a time when people are embracing traditional food with ayurvedic benefits and Ayurvedic products, to boost their immunity in Covid 19 pandemic situation, Ayush department in Mysuru district has come up first of its kind 210 bedded dedicated Ayush covid care centre in the entire State at Mysuru, to treat asymptomatic Covid 19 patients with Ayurveda alone, which began on Saturday.

Senior Ayurvedic practitioner Dr Giridhar Kaje was given opportunity by State government at Covid care centre at Victoria hospital in Bengaluru to treat Covid 19 patients with Ayurveda medicines and ten patients recovered.

So here at this Covid care centre we will be treating Covid patients 19 with Ayurvedic medicines including choorna, tablets, leha. We will be giving kashaya instead of coffee.
We are including Yoga, Pranayama and meditation to keep the patients engaged and for their holistic well being. If the assistance is needed we will consult Allopathic doctors of the district or shift the patients to district Covid hospital," Dr Seethalakshmi said.
