Coronavirus |Fighting COVID-19: The Natural Way
Which pharmaceuticals have been causing complications for COVID-19 patients?
Recent medical updates in Europe are warning against taking certain medications for those that have contracted COVID-19. Some of the current serious cases of Coronavirus in young people with no previous pathologies have been due to them taking pharmaceutical anti-inflammatories or analgesics at the start of their dis-ease. These medications include aspirin, ibuprofen, dexketoprofen, naproxen, voltaren, tramadol, which actually potentiate the development of the infection. You must avoid self-medication and come to see a professional.
How can Natural Herbal Medicine (Ayurveda) help with the COVID-19 pandemic?
Ayurveda is a holistic ancient science of life that dates back almost 5,000 years. The Ayurvedic approach takes a closer look at lifestyle to understand the cause of a disease, and uses Herbal Medicine to achieve sound health and wellbeing.
Medicinal Herbs contain natural phytochemical bioactive ingredients that can be antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, anti-inflammatory or anti-cancer. For example “andrographolide analogue phytochemicals”, present in the Asian medicinal plants of the genus Andropraphis, are antiviral. Their antiviral properties against the highly pathogenic Avian Influenza Virus (H5N1) was demonstrated by research scientists from Hainan Medical University in a 2017 study. The potent antiviral activity of these analogue phytochemicals against other viral flu strains (including H9N2 and H1N1) was reported by other Chinese Universities in a 2009 study.

Which other Natural Therapies could be useful?
Chinese Medicine and some of the herbs that are used in this practice have been found to be quite promising in China.
BioEnergy Therapy focuses on restoring your Body Field. The health of your Body Field is then propagated to all aspects of your physical, mental and emotional health through resonance. A strong Body Field equals a strong immune system. There are many ways of supporting your immune system, which is so important when dealing with our current global situation.
Ozone Therapy targets viruses (as well as other microbes). The electrical charge of ozone is powerful enough to rupture the outer wall of pathogenic microbes. Human cells are kept intact because they produce catalase and peroxidase as a defence mechanism when they are healthy. Ozone is also a beneficial modulator of the immune system.
Colloidal Silver is a safe antimicrobial with no side effects. It disables microbes, including viruses, by:
- deactivating the enzymes used by pathogenic microbes for respiration
- oxidizing the pathogen
- replacing essential substances in the pathogen’s cell wall
- repairing the broken DNA of viruses – which inactivates the virus, since the virus can only function inside a host when its DNA is incomplete.
