No effective or FDA-approved products are currently available for the treatment of the new coronavirus (also known as SARS-CoV-2 or 2019-nCoV), although research is still ongoing.

Giloy and Ashwagandha have a significant role to play in the treatment of the novel coronavirus infection. Let's know how they actually help.

Benefits of Giloy

This Ayurvedic herb is a powerhouse of antioxidants that neutralise free radicals and prevent inflammation. Also, it purifies blood, boosts immunity, flushes out toxins from the body and fights against bacteria and virus effectively. Consuming Giloy juice can help you get rid of fever, which is one of the signs of COVID-19. Its anti-inflammatory properties help in tackling respiratory problems like cough, cold, and breathing problems. These are also major signs of the novel coronavirus infection.

Benefits of Ashwagandha

This ancient medical herb provides almost every health benefit you can think of. From improving immunity to reducing stress, regulating blood sugar level, and lowering cholesterol, Ashwagandha does it all for you. A recent research conducted by the scientists at the IIT-Delhi has found that Ashwagandha contains certain bio-actives that interact with SARS-Co-2. This herb contains a natural compound called withanone (Wi-N), that can block the replication process of the novel virus and treat the condition.

Ashwagandha may support lung function and reduce cough, fever, and inflammation. Ashwagandha has shown antiviral activity and, perhaps most interestingly, may prevent the SARS-CoV-2 virus from entering cells. Ashwagandha extracts improved immune response in both clinical and animal trials.
