Dr. Touseef Khalil Kamal
The emergence of Covid-19 has caused a large global outbreak and is a major public health issue. COVID-19 is that it is highly contagious mainly transmitted by droplets and fomitus. The main symptoms are fever, malaise, and cough, loss of smell, taste and breathlessness. Till date there is no defined protocol for management of Covid -19. The cases of Covid -19 are increasing at alarming rate in India with a daily rise of more than 18000.In these times of crises.
The present control strategies of the disease include interrupting the mode of transmission, reduction of secondary infections by early diagnosis and isolation of cases, providing optimal care to infected patients, and the development of effective diagnostic, preventive and therapeutic strategies, including vaccines. Holistic approach of AYUSH systems of medicine gives focus on prevention through lifestyle modification, dietary management, prophylactic interventions for improving the immunity and simple remedies based on presentation of the symptoms.
In Unani medicine, there is detailed description of wabah (epidemic), Alahidagee (Isolation) and Quarantine. It was Hippocrates who coined the term quarantine and advised restriction of movement for forty days to the suspects. Asbab-e-Sittah Zarooriyah (Six essentials of life) one of the basic principle of Unani can play an important in overall development of immunity of a person and prevention of disease which will be discussed in full length paper. Fumigation of surroundings with herbs, use of modified and specific diets and Unani drugs to enhance quwat-e-mudabar-e-badan (innate immunity) can play an important role to fight this covid-19 pandemic.
Health experts are time and again insisting on boosting our immunity. Although it has not been proved whether strong immunity helps in treating the novel Coronavirus or not, it may help you have an overall better health. While some people are blessed with good immunity, others are resorting to various natural ways to strengthen their stamina, immune system and overall health. Many of us are practicing regular yoga, breathing exercises and more and even trying natural concoctions like herbal teas, drinks and kadhas.
Speaking about kadha, it will not be an exaggeration if we term it to be one of the oldest and treasured medicinal secrets of India. It is basically a mix of various traditional herbs and spices that help us to keep strong from within.
These herbs also help increase the production of interferons (proteins) and antibodies to generate an immune response against viruses and increase the rate of phagocytosis to destroy microorganisms, thus, increasing immunity from containing viral infections.

He is also my GURU (teacher) after discussing with him, advice me to prescribe the Unani kadha (Joshanda-e- Badar) to the patients.
Here we bring you an easy immunity- boosting Unani Kadha (Joshanda-e- Badar) recipe that can be prepared with some herbs like 6 gm-Afsanteen, 6 gm-Giloy and 6 gm-Chiraita.
My Personal Views: When I (Dr. Touseef Khalil Kamal) Classical Unani Physician become Covid-19 Positive (With all Sign Symptoms like Fever, Cough, Chest Congestion, Breathing problems etc.) I started Consuming Unani Kadha (Joshanda-e- Badar) Personal formulation twice a day and take proper rest, has helped me to survive against this deadly viral disease and become negative after 15 days (Without taking any Antibiotic).
