Traditional knowledge has provided the basis for the most modern knowledge systems. Traditional knowledge covers a large extent of the activities in a typical ancient village. Traditional knowledge has been accumulated within the communities for a long period of time of their history. Such knowledge bases have been passed from generation to generation through oral communication. This knowledge base basically developed with the hand on experience of the ancient people and the daily observations on various topics. Usually , this traditional knowledge consists of the observations regarding food production, climate, medicine , irrigation,etc. Nonetheless, most of the rural societies rely on these knowledge bases even today. For instance, primitive societies use their own healing methods using plant extractions or natural materials like soils. Similarly, the developed sectors like Ayurvedic medicine also use such plant extractions or natural components.
Therefore, scientists search possible integrations of modern and past knowledge while searching solutions for the modern day issues. In this backdrop, due to the recent Covid 19 pandemic, researchers seek solutions for the virus from such knowledge bases also. The reason for such a quick search was, the higher death count across the world during the last few months. As an example the Corona Virus Dashboard has shown the severity of the treat across the world. Most of the sudden deaths have demanded a new quick remedy and urge to find it. As an example the death toll has been reached at 348,528 By 26, May ,2020 according to the Corona Virus Dashboard.
Therefore, research institutes like Ayurveda medical colleges and hospitals have developed some fundamental treatments to boost the immune activity against the virus and stop the symptoms of the virus based on natural materials . However, these drugs or the treatments are also not able to cure the diseases completely or find a complete solution to control the severity of Covid 19 pandemic yet..
