Vadodara: In line with the recommendation made by Ministry of Ayush, faculties of Homeopathy and Ayurveda of city-based Parul University (PU) have developed a ‘suraksha kit’ that contains medicines to boost immunity.
The kit contains medicines such as ‘samshamani vati’, ‘sudarshan ghana vati’, ‘khadiradi vati’, ‘murchhita tila taila taila’ (for nasal instillation) and ‘arsenic album 30’.
“People who are old, suffering from diseases of lungs or heart and those who have weak immunity are more prone to developing complications or dying of Covid-19 infection. Hence, development of immunity is very important for combating this infection,” said Dr Komal Patel, medical and paramedical director of PU.
‘Samshamani vati’ is extract of guduchi, a herb known for developing immunity. It is helpful in reducing fever.
“Research has shown that guduchi helps in improving function of white blood cells (macrophages) which are important in combating infection. It also protects liver,” she said.
While ‘sudarshan ghana vati’ plays important role in reducing infection and improving health, ‘khadiradi vati’, a chewable tablet, is used for treatment of throat pain.
“The nasal oil drops improve health and strength of nose and throat region while arsenic album is a Homeopathic medicine that is very useful in fever,” she said, adding that the university has made the kit available at some pharmacies of the city.
