Despite worldwide efforts to contain it, the pandemic is continuing to spread because of nonspecific drugs trial and still the exact medicine is yet to discovered. Ayurveda an ancient science has already described the pandemic with reference to <em>Janapadodhwamsa</em> along with its prevention and cure with reference to <em>Aupsargika</em>-<em>Rogas</em>. All kinds of <em>Jwara</em> are mentioned in our Ayurvedic classics with details of patho-physiology and management. Thus, Covid-19 whose main manifestation is <em>Jwara</em> can be managed and prevented by following the Ayurvedic daily regimen and treatment protocols which lessens the bad prognosis of Covid-19 thereby preventing the Post Covid Symptoms. Covid-19 can be managed by the treatment protocol mentioned in <em>Jwara-Chikitsa</em>, <em>Janapadodhwamsa</em>, <em>Aupsargika Rogas</em> while the Post Covid Symptoms can be managed by <em>Jirna Jwara Chikitsa </em>along with different forms <em>Rasayana</em> based on feasibility. <em>Rasayana Chikitsa</em> works well in the preventive as well as curative in both Covid-19 and Post Covid Symptoms. Role of <em>Panchakarma</em> in Covid-19 and Post Covid Symptoms has a special place in treating the <em>Strotodushti</em> of various level mainly the <em>Pranavaha</em>&nbsp; <em>Strotas</em>. <em>Vyadhikshamatva</em> and <em>Agni</em> play an important role in developing Covid-19 and Post Covid Symptoms therefore, attention should be given to increase the <em>Vyadhikshamatva</em> and maintain the optimum power of <em>Agni</em> of the public health. In this way Covid-19 infection is prevented thereby minimizing the further health hazards. Therefore, Ayurvedic principles should be adopted to prevent and manage the Covid-19 infection by interpreting the elements of patho-physiology in Ayurvedic perspective so as to plan an effective management protocol and to recover the <em>Swasthya</em>.</p&gt;}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Ayurveda and Integrated Medical Sciences}, author={Shweta Deolekar and Ashish Thatere and Prakash Kabra}, year={2022}, month={Mar.}, pages={119 - 129} }
