ABSTRACT:
The COVID-19 pandemic has precipitated a global health crisis, necessitating innovative strategies to mitigate its impact on public health systems worldwide. This paper explores the role of yoga and naturopathy in the COVID-19 era, elucidating their potential to bolster immune function, alleviate stress, and foster overall well-being. Originating from ancient healing traditions, particularly in India, yoga and naturopathy offer holistic interventions that complement conventional medical treatments. Government initiatives, exemplified by those in Tamil Nadu, India, underscore the integration of these practices into COVID-19 treatment protocols. Experienced practitioners administer tailored protocols encompassing yoga asanas, breathing exercises, and naturopathic modalities, thereby addressing symptoms and enhancing resilience. These interventions, rooted in centuries-old wisdom and supported by scientific evidence, emphasize the significance of holistic approaches in managing the pandemic and fortifying health systems for the future. Embracing the synergy between traditional healing practices and modern medicine holds promise for cultivating a more resilient and comprehensive approach to healthcare in the face of present and future challenges.
