Complications In Kids Hospitalised With Covid

Even as the world gets into recovery mode post-pandemic, many people are still grappling with the symptoms of long Covid. According to the WHO, if you have recovered from Covid-19 but some symptoms stay stubborn, such as shortness of breath, brain fog, and fatigue, the condition is known as long Covid. Long Covid symptoms also include palpitations, insomnia, gastric problems such as bloating, acidity, irritable bowel, muscle weakness, and mobility issues. Any microbe that enters the body causes toxicity, resulting in the imbalance of Doshas or bio-energies of one's body. Our bodies are prone to infectious diseases when we have a weak immune system, and Panchakarma along with other curative Ayurveda treatments helps to strengthen the immune system. In Ayurveda, the Panchakarma procedure is used as a prophylactic to prevent infectious diseases and incidentally can also help to prevent a relapse. In the case of a Covid patient who has tested negative for the virus, the Vaidyas (doctors) at CGH Earth recommend the Panchakarma procedure to strengthen and fortify the body. However, such procedures cannot be administered soon after recovery, though other Ayurvedic treatments for insomnia, anxiety, stress-related disorders, and immune boosting can be done. To do the Panchakarma cleansing procedures, it is recommended to allow the body to heal itself -- for up to say two months in order for the energy levels to get back to normal or near normal. This is the same recommendation that Ayurveda would give for a person who has undergone surgery or some serious illness; a gap of two or three months before undergoing the Panchakarma. Meanwhile, the degree of long Covid symptoms varies from patient to patient and therefore the treatment protocols vary as well. The doctor will need to watch and assess when the patient is ready to undergo only one or multiple karmas which are part of the Panchakarma procedure. Long Covid patients suffer from respiratory problems and also issues related to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, cardiac-related conditions, neurological conditions, and brain and kidney issues. Covid also affects the sense organs wherein some people lose their sense of smell, taste, hearing, and vision for an extended period of time. Many, post Covid suffer from insomnia, brain fog, and anxiety. Although Panchakarma has immense health benefits, it is critical that for post-Covid patients the energy level is checked prior to putting them on any treatments, as they are tiring processes that do initially lower one's energy. Panchakarma procedures include detoxification of the body. This is a necessary stage of treatment as the disease-causing microbes bring a lot of toxins into the body and if they remain in the body, Ayurvedic treatments cannot address the conditions that have manifested internally. For Kapha-related lung infections, chest pain, and infected pleural cavities the patient is treated with Herbal drug-induced vomiting or Vamana (one of the deep cleansing Panchakarma procedures). Likewise for gastric infection or if the liver or pancreas is affected purgation is advised. Meanwhile, the main procedure for problems related to sensory organs like loss of smell or taste is Nasya i.e.: nasal treatment. For those affected by arthritis, degenerating muscles, or skin lesions; Vasti or medicated enemas are prescribed. It is to be noted that this is not merely Colon cleansing but the administration of special medicines into the colon and rectum where the medications in them are easily absorbed internally. Alongside the Panchakarma procedures, secondary treatments or "Upakarmas" are also administered to the patients. "Tharpanam" which is administered for the eyes and "Karnapuranam" for the ears are treatments that Ayurveda prescribes for patients who have long Covid conditions related to these sensory organs. Treatments like "Njavarakizhi" and "Pizhichil" also aid in correcting the Vata, Pitta, and Kapha imbalances and help rejuvenate and rebuild the body from the inside out. Herbal medications are administered to improve the immune system. In particular, those with respiratory tract issues benefit from these prescribed herbal medicines by improving their lung capacity and removal of excess accumulation of phlegm or fibroids. These medicines are beneficial for those with GI tract issues. Regularly strengthening the body with herbal preparations after a course of Panchakarma, helps to keep Covid and other infectious diseases at bay. In Ayurveda, the course of medication can last from three to six months and in some cases where the patient is very weak, it is prescribed for a year. (Dr. Firoz Varun is an Ayurveda Doctor at CGH Earth Kalari Rasayana Ayurveda Hospital) Read More►Is Your Skin Summer-Ready?

In the early period of the development of Ayurveda, Ashwini Kumars had a great reputation as miraculous wonderful Vaidyas. Chyawan was the descendant of Rishi Maharishi Bhrigu (who was a great personality scholar and who made birth charts of millions of people which is still authentic today).

A sudden seasonal flu outbreak and an increase in Covid-19 cases have surprised many just as we were beginning to get used to the normalcy of a life without many constraints before the Covid virus. An unavoidable flu wave generally coincides with a change in season. However, this season has witnessed an unanticipated increase in such cases-nearly doubling from last year in some areas-as well as harsher, Covid-like symptoms. The spike of Covid-19 cases, the upcoming holiday season, and all of this together create a situation that specialists warn calls for ongoing precautions. "Masks are the first line of defence against Covid-19 as well as other respiratory infections. With a spike in the number of infections, we must adhere to wearing masks when we step out in public areas. With the festive season right here and large gatherings inevitable, wearing masks are highly effective at reducing your risk of getting Covid as well as seasonal flu. Wearing the right kind of mask, the right way, is also extremely important," says Dr SC Ajmani, General Physician. Your masks' kind and fit have a significant impact on how effective they are. According to research conducted by the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self Organization in Germany, FFP2 masks that fit snugly offer 75 times more protection than surgical masks. By selecting these masks over common surgical or fabric masks, you greatly boost your protection and can leave the house more confidently, especially in crowded areas. Protection from viruses, bacteria, dust, pollutants, allergens, and pollen (>= 0.3 micron) is offered by a BIS-approved FFP2 S mask like Savlon. These masks offer 95% protection from aerosols with particles larger than 0.3 micron. In comparison to standard masks, these masks include melt blown filters that are electro statically charged to provide enhanced filtering. The comfort and suitability of these masks for different skin types are also tested. Masks made with Savlon FFP2 S are BIS Certified. According to BIS guidelines, each batch is put through rigorous testing for quality performance and efficacy. The effects of viruses, bacteria, dust, pollution, pollen, and allergies can be significantly minimised and the wearer's general health can be improved by donning a high-quality, properly fitted mask. The correct masks are adjusted to perfectly fit on the bridge of your nose and to properly enclose your mouth and nose. We are aware that when an infected individual sneezes or coughs in a crowded environment, the Covid-19 virus as well as the seasonal influenza can spread quickly. First-level protection is unquestionably provided by donning a N95 or FFP2 S mask, especially for those with allergies, co-morbidities, impaired immune systems, or a higher propensity for experiencing severe symptoms. The use of masks should become a way of life. We must continue using tried-and-true health strategies, like using masks in public. Keep your hygiene and health in mind.

योग और आयुर्वेद, कोविड 19 के उच्च जोखिम वाले मामलों के उपचार में प्रभावी हो सकते हैं। 30 उच्च-जोखिम वाले कोविड-19 रोगियों के सफल उपचार पर एक शोध का अध्ययन यह सुझाव देता है। यह अध्ययन आईआईटी दिल्ली और देव संस्कृति विश्वविद्यालय, हरिद्वार के शोधकतार्ओं की एक टीम द्वारा किया गया था। आईआईटी दिल्ली का कहना है कि इस अध्ययन के दौरान तय दिशानिदेशरें के अनुसार उपचार के अलावा, रोगियों को टेलीमेडिसिन के माध्यम से आयुर्वेदिक दवाएं दी गईं। वीडियो कॉन्फ्रेंसिंग का उपयोग करके एक व्यक्तिगत चिकित्सीय योग कार्यक्रम का भी संचालन किया गया। आईआईटी दिल्ली का कहना है कि जिन रोगियों का उपचार किया जा रहा था, लगभग उन सभी रोगियों को मधुमेह मेलिटस, उच्च रक्तचाप, क्रोनिक किडनी रोग, कोरोनरी धमनी रोग जैसी एक या अधिक सह-रुग्णताओं के कारण उच्च जोखिम के रूप में वर्गीकृत किया गया था। गौरतलब है कि हाई ब्लड प्रेशर, किडनी रोग व डायबिटीज आदि जैसी बीमारियां कोविड 19 के मामलों में गंभीर परिणाम देने के लिए जानी जाती हैं। इनमें से कई रोगियों की आयु 60 वर्ष एवं 60 वर्ष से ही से ऊपर थी। रोगियों को दिया गया उपचार व्यक्तिगत उपचार था। यह उपचार शास्त्रीय ग्रंथों के अनुसार था और प्रत्येक रोगी की चिकित्सा हिस्ट्री और प्रस्तुत लक्षणों को ध्यान में रखा गया, जिसने इसे एक निश्चित मानकीकृत उपचार योजना की तुलना में अधिक प्रभावी बना दिया। उपचार में आयुर्वेदिक दवाएं, दैनिक योग-सत्र जिसमें गहरी विश्राम तकनीक, प्राणायाम और बुनियादी आसन और जीवन शैली में कुछ संशोधन शामिल थे। आईआईटी दिल्ली के मुताबिक मामलों को अलग-अलग वर्गों में वगीर्कृत किया गया था। आयुर्वेद आधारित उपचार, और आधुनिक पश्चिमी चिकित्सा यानी एलोपैथी सहायक के रूप में रोगियों को बाद में योग-आयुर्वेद में स्विच किया। अधिकांश रोगी जिनमें योग और आयुर्वेद उपचार से पहले कई लक्षणों थे, को ठीक होने तक नियमित रूप से टेलीफोन पर फॉलो-अप किया गया था। आधे से अधिक रोगसूचक रोगियों में 5 दिनों के भीतर सुधार होने लगा (90 प्रतिशत रोगियों में 9 दिनों के भीतर रिकवरी की सूचना दी। 95 प्रतिशत से कम ऑक्सीजन संतृप्ति वाले छह रोगियों को मकरासन और शिथिलासन से लाभ हुआ। कीसी भी रोगी को आईसीयू में एडमिट नहीं कराना पड़ा। इसके अलावा योग व आयुर्वेद के माध्यम से उपचारित किए जा रहे थे। इन रोगियों में वेंटिलेशन की आवश्यकता भी नहीं पड़ी न ही इनमें से किसी रोगी की मृत्यु हुई। अध्ययन के दौरान आईआईटी दिल्ली से फैलोशिप कर रही डॉ सोनिका ठकराल ने कहा, ज्यादातर मरीजों ने बताया कि थेरेपी का उनकी रिकवरी प्रक्रिया पर गहरा असर पड़ा है। साथ ही कई लोगों ने उनकी कॉमरेडिटीज के संबंध में भी सुधार का अनुभव किया है। उपचार के अंत तक, कई रोगियों ने अपनी जीवन शैली में योग को अपनाने का फैसला किया था, और कई ने अपनी सहरुग्णता के उपचार के लिए टीम में आयुर्वेद डॉक्टरों की ओर रुख किया। इससे पहले भी आईआईटी दिल्ली कोरोना के दौरान अश्वगंधा के फायदों पर महत्वपूर्ण रिसर्च कर चुका है। आईआईटी दिल्ली के मुताबिक कोरोना के दौरान अश्वगंधा के सेवन से रोगियों को लाभ पहुंचा है। (एजेंसी) यह भी पढ़े► आयुर्वेद के छात्रों के लिए स्टूडेंटशिप प्रोग्राम फॉर आयुर्वेद रिसर्च केन
