"There is emerging evidence of large-scale adoption of AYUSH-based prophylactic solutions by the people."

The ministry also pointed that there were indications of correlation between large-scale adoption of AYUSH practices and low level of COVID-19 mortality in India.

"All these have contributed to increased adoption of health and wellness solutions based on AYUSH disciplines in India and many other countries. The AYUSH Trade and Industry therefore needs to gear up to meet this increased demand," they said.

The Ministry of AYUSH has taken many initiatives to integrate AYUSH Systems into the efforts to protect the people from COVID-19 as well as to treat them successfully. The ministry issued timely advisories, and develop the post-COVID management and National Clinical Management Protocol based on Ayurveda and Yoga. The ministry has also taken up a massive campaign to encourage individuals to adopt disease-preventive measures and use the AYUSH system for protection from the virus.
