Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is also known as nCoV-2019. The causative pathogen of Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been rapidly spreading across India and all over the world. No specific anti-viral drugs or vaccines are available for the treatment of this sudden and lethal disease. The supportive care and non-specific treatment to ameliorate the symptoms of the patients are the only options currently available. In our nation, we have good resources to treat nCoV-2019 affected patients with AYUSH (our own traditional medicines) especially Siddha medicines.Siddha system of medicine has unique methods to treat newly detected diseases. Siddhars deal with the human body as a spiritual entity rather than a material entity as dealt with by the western physiology. This study is to highlight the stage-wise diagnosis and treatment protocol as per Siddha literature in correlation to modern diagnosis and treatment of COVID – 19 patients.
