Abstract
Exploring traditional Indian systems of medicine, such as Naturopathy and Yoga, can provide potential benefits in improving host immunity and mitigating the severity of the infection. Naturopathic medicine therapies focus on correcting underlying imbalances caused by sedentary lifestyles and require a comprehensive care plan to support long‐term sustainable health and enhance immune function. This review aims to thoroughly investigate the recent scientific literature regarding the clinical efficacy of yoga and naturopathy in treating COVID‐19 and to explore the proposed mechanisms underlying their ability to improve the host immune system. To gather relevant references, comprehensive searches were conducted in PubMed Central, Research Gate, Science Direct, Google Scholar, Scopus and MEDLINE databases from 2018 to 2023, using the keywords Naturopathy, Yoga, Covid‐19 and India. The initial search yielded a total of 693 records. After applying specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, seven articles were selected for synthesis, comprising two case studies, one pilot study, three randomized controlled trials and one cohort study. The integration of naturopathy and yoga in conjunction with conventional modalities has shown promising results in effectively managing the severity of Covid‐19. These findings highlight the potential benefits of incorporating these holistic approaches into treating Covid‐19 patients.
