The COVID-19 pandemic has posed an immense challenge to health care systems around the globe in terms of limited health care facilities and proven medical therapeutics to address the symptoms of the infection. The current health care strategies are primarily focused on either the pathogen or the environmental factors. However, efforts towards strengthening the host immunity are important from public health perspective to prevent the spread of infection and downregulate the potency of the infectious agent. While a vaccine can induce specific immunity in the host, non-specific ways of improving overall host immunity are needed as well. This scenario has paved the way for the use of traditional Indian therapies such as Ayurveda and Yoga. This review aims at collating available evidence on , , and COVID-19. Further, it draws inferences from recent studies on and on immunity, respiratory health, and mental health respectively to approximate its probable role in prophylaxis and as an add-on management option for the current pandemic.
2019年冠状病毒病疫情在医疗保健设施有限以及缺乏经证实的医疗疗法来应对感染症状方面，给全球医疗保健系统带来了巨大挑战。当前的医疗保健策略主要集中在病原体或环境因素上。然而，从公共卫生角度来看，增强宿主免疫力对于预防感染传播和降低传染源的效力至关重要。虽然疫苗可以在宿主体内诱导特异性免疫，但也需要非特异性的方法来提高整体宿主免疫力。这种情况为阿育吠陀和瑜伽等传统印度疗法的应用铺平了道路。本综述旨在整理关于[此处原文缺失具体内容]、[此处原文缺失具体内容]和2019年冠状病毒病的现有证据。此外，它分别从最近关于[此处原文缺失具体内容]和[此处原文缺失具体内容]在免疫、呼吸健康和心理健康方面的研究中得出推论，以推测其在预防以及作为当前疫情附加管理选项方面的可能作用。
