Ayurveda Self-Management for Flu Like Symptoms During the Covid-19 Outbreak

From the end of January 2020, Coronavirus disease 2019 began to spread in United Kingdom (UK). During the same time, seasonal flu continued to circulate across the UK. With similar course of management at early stages, flu like symptoms were self-isolated to prevent the spread and further complications of infection. Present study aimed to evaluate the effect of self-managed Ayurveda on flu like symptoms in people who self-isolated at home for 7-days in March 2020 during the Covid-19 outbreak in UK.
