Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in India last year, in 2020, doctors and experts have been working very hard to find a cure for this fatal disease. Experts have come up with medicines that can manage the symptoms of COVID-19, but no curative treatment has been found yet. Not just in Allopathy, in alternative medicines too, like Ayurveda and Homeopathy, many researches have been done till now and medication is being given accordingly. Focusing on Homeopathy, the ETV Bharat Sukhibhava team spoke to Dr. Rajan Sankaran, Homeopathic expert.

Alternative medicines have proven to be effective to a great extent in dealing with coronavirus and homeopathy is one of them. However, remember that in case you see your symptoms worsening or lasting for more than the normal time period, contact your doctor immediately. Also, if you have any underlying medical condition, contact a homeopathic expert prior to taking these medicines. Apart from this, early intervention is extremely necessary. Do not delay your treatment because the new strain of COVID-19 is more virulent as compared to the previous strain and the situation can worsen very quickly. Contact your doctor or healthcare provider as soon as you notice any symptoms, to begin the treatment on time.
