Covid-19 related infections and death continue to rise globally. The unprecedented and multidimensional challenges that the SARS_COV2 created in every sphere of life including medical, technological, scientific, environmental, socio-economic and political has not only created a scare but also a global concern about the future of health care.
How Ayurveda Impacts Covid-19 The impact of Covid-19 on psychological distress and mental health, especially in vulnerable groups such as healthcare workers is significant. In these individuals, immune function could also be compromised including an increased risk of viral respiratory tract infections.
While there appears to be a positive impact on the climate, environment and other ecological systems, there is also a tremendous negative impact on business, economy and the health-care systems. Despite the many devastating impacts, the COVID-19 crisis should serve as a trigger for individuals, communities and the whole healthcare ecosystem to innovate at a quicker pace and reinvent the way we look at health and wellness. It is time to rethink and strategize our priorities regarding health, hygiene, diet, lifestyle and our close connection with the ecosystem and environment.
