Brief Summary
Modification(s)  

COVID-19 infection is known to affect individuals with weak immunity more severely. Therefore, enhancing immunity is definitely one of the ways the doctors across the globe have been using for treating COVID-19 cases.

The study is Interventional Randomized parallel group placebo controlled, Single Centric trial in which Impact of Indian traditional Ayurvedic treatment regime for nCoV-2 (COVID-19) will be accessed.

To combat COVID-19 virus with Ayurveda, we have screened close to 1000 phytochemicals from more than 100 medicinal plants, in-sillico. We looked for their binding affinities to COVID-19 essential proteins and host protein interactions. We have discovered that natural phytochemicals in Ashwagandha, Giloy and Tulsi indeed have potentials to combat COVID-19 and its pathogenicity.

The patients who will be included in the study’s active control group will receive -

Tablet Swasari Ras                                       :             (500 mg)

Tablet Pure Ashwagandha Extract            :             (500 mg)

Tablet Pure Giloy Extract                           :             (500 mg)

Tablet Pure Tulsi Extract                            :             (500 mg)

Anu Taila (Nasal drop)

 

The above mentioned ayurvedic medicines will be used at following dosage :

In the morning:

At-least 60 mins before break-fast           :             4 drops of  Anu Taila (Nasal drop), in each nostril.

At-least 30 mins before break-fast           :             Swasari Ras 2 gm (with luke-warm water)          

At-least 30 mins after break-fast              :             2 Tablets Pure Giloy Extract

1 Tablet Pure Ashwagandha

1 Tablet Pure Tulsi Extract (with luke-warm water)

 

In the evening:

At-least 30 mins before dinner                 :             Swasari Ras 2 gm (with luke-warm water)

At-least 30 mins after dinner                    :             2 Tablets Pure Giloy Extract

                                                                 :             1 Tablet Pure Ashwagandha 

                                                                               1 Tablet Pure Tulsi Extract (with luke-warm water)

 

The above mentioned active control group will be compared with Placebo group receiving placebo of same dosage form. Symptomatic treatment will follow in both group along with treatment.

The primary outcome of the study will be assessed by measuring virological clearance as measured by RT PCR for nasopharageal swab at baseline, 3rdday, 7thdays and 14th day.

The secondary outcomes will be assessed by measuring conversion from symptomatic to asymptomatic patient, reduction in CRP protein, ESR & IL-6. Further improvement in hematological parameter, Total leucocyte count and lymphocyte count. Safety analysis will also be done.
