“…41 Homeopathy has reportedly been used to prevent previous epidemics of cholera, yellow fever, scarlet fever, Spanish influenza, diphtheria, typhoid, hepatitis, chikungunya, dengue etc. 41,47,48 Homeopathy always distinguishes the diseased individual, rather than compartmentalising the individuals based on the name of the disease; this is what differentiates homeopathy from other fields of medicines. Sometime COVID-19-positive patients present with various symptoms such as fever, dry cough and tiredness, whereas other symptoms may be seen in some patients which include body aches, rhinitis, headache, conjunctivitis, sore throat, loss of taste or smell or a rash on the skin or discoloration of fingers or toes.…”

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a zoonotic disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Its symptoms range from mild fever, cough, pharyngitis to severe acute respiratory syndrome. Since its first outbreak in Wuhan province of China, the disease has spread worldwide and emerged as pandemic. The infection is mainly spread by droplets and through contacts. Initially SARS-CoV-2 was thought to cause viral pneumonia only, but now it is evident that the virus can spread through the bloodstream and can cause systemic lesions as well. Though most of the time patients recovered spontaneously for immune-compromised patients, it is detrimental. Lack of effective therapy in conventional medicine has made host immune response as the only option to focus on this battle against COVID-19. First-world countries such as the USA, Italy, England and Spain have witnessed a massive number of deaths, and India is not an exception to that. The whole world is searching for effective treatment in the form of antiviral drugs, vaccines and hydroxychloroquine, but none has proven effective. Homeopathy has always put a mark during epidemics and in recent past during the elimination of leptospirosis in Cuba (2009–2014), homeopathy was very effective. In this scenario, we think homeopathy has a decisive role to play to fight this pandemic as it can enhance the host immune response and reduce the severity of the infection to a great extent. In this review, we will discuss the scopes of homeopathic medicines in the treatment of coronavirus disease.

Purpose of Review In the last month of 2019, i.e., December, COVID-19 hit Wuhan city in China. Since then, it has infected more than 210 countries and nearly about 33.4 million people with one million deaths globally. It is a viral disease with flu-like symptoms; hence, prevention and management is the best option to be adopted for its cure. Recent Findings Many healthcare systems, scientists, and researchers are fighting for the cure of this pandemic. Ayurvedic and allopathic treatments have been studied extensively and approached for the cure of COVID-19. In addition to ayurvedic treatments, the Ministry of Ayush, India, has also recommended many remedies to boost up immunity. Allopathic studies involved several antiviral drugs which were used in different combinations for the treatment of COVID-19. Summary Comparative analysis of Ayurveda and allopathic treatment strategies were carried out in the present study. Depending upon the patient’s conditions and symptoms, Ayurveda is useful for the treatment of COVID-19. Allopathic treatments inhibit viral infection by targeting majorly endocytosis, and angiotensin-converting enzyme (Ace) receptor signaling. In this article, we summarize different ayurvedic and allopathic medicines and treatment strategies which have been used for the treatment of COVID-19, a global pandemic.

“…The homeopathic medical system has clear guidelines for the control of infectious epidemics, and it is well established long before the advent of modern sanitation, vaccination, and antibiotics. In the year 1799AD, Hahnemann used the Belladonna drug to prevent the epidemic phase of Scarlet fever in Europe; and in 1801AD, Hahnemann published this information in the form of a pamphlet (Pal and Ningthoujam, 2019). Another homeopathic drug 'Aconite' proved to be specific to the Scarlet pandemic in Germany between 1800 AD and 1808AD (Taylor, 2001).…”

“…As a prophylactic to the disease, he supported the camphor for the early stages of infection and the Cuprum metallicum or Veratrum album for later stages (Hahnemann, 1884). Homeopathic medicines have been successful in treating several epidemics, including typhoid, cholera, yellow fever, scarlet fever, smallpox, diphtheria, Spanish flu, meningitis, and polio, which made homeopathy popular at the USA and Europe in the nineteenth century (Ullman, 1988, Pal andNingthoujam, 2019).…”

“…Dr. Hahnemann wrote 'the Organon of Medicine'; a rules-regulation book on homeopathy; in the sixth edition of this book, he explicitly mentioned the selection of 'homeopathic (specific) remedy' in Aphorisms 102 (footnotes), 147 and 241. Applying this idea, in 1995, Cuba successfully controlled Keratoconjunctivitis, and in 2007, India controlled Chikungunya at Kerala (Pal and Ningthoujam, 2019). In 2007 and 2008, some other researchers at Cuba demonstrated the effectiveness of homeoprophylaxis against leptospirosis triggered by extensive hurricane damage (Golden and Bracho, 2014).…”

Novel coronavirus 2019-nCoV-2 infection, also known as COVID-19, has a pandemic outbreak, and recent studies show various limitations, including treatment. This virus is chiefly infecting the respiratory tract (RTI) and resulting in Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. Many developed countries, including Italy, England, and the United States of America (USA), are facing many casualties. Unlikely, no specific treatment protocol is available till today. Homeopathic medicine is a branch of alternative medicine, practiced on individualized symptoms similarity. However, historically it has potential in treating epidemic infections like scarlet fever, typhoid, and cholera. In the treatment of RTI and pneumonia, several homeopathic medicines have proven efficacy. This review on the utility of homeopathic medicine might guide the physician to prevent COVID-19 contagion. Homeopathic medicines can help humanity with conventional medical methods to prevent this global catastrophe.
