Agada Tantra is a specialized branch of Ayurveda which mainly deals with Visha (Poison) and its management mainly through special formulations called Agada Yogas which counteract the deleterious actions of poison over the body. There are numerous such formulations which are unique because of their potent ingredients and fast action. Bilwadi Agada is one among such Yogas. In December 2019, a series of acute atypical respiratory disease occurred in Wuhan and then rapidly spread to other areas. It was soon discovered that a novel Corona Virus was responsible, and this was named as the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus-2 (2019) due to its high homology to SARS-CoV-2 which caused Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and high mortality during 2002–2003 in China. According to Ayurveda, this novel Corona is a Jangama Visha as it is of zoonotic origin. It affects the upper respiratory tract so is the movement of Jangama Visha which moves upward and affects those areas. It is also mentioned in Ayurvedic treatise that the Jangaman Visha should be treated with Sthavara dravyas. Bilwadi gutika is an Ayurvedic medicine prepared from thirteen medicinal plants triturated in goat’s urine. When we compare the primary symptoms of COVID-19 and the indications of Bilwadi gutika, we can see so many similarities. The main objective of this article is to discuss the therapeutic and pharmacological properties of Bilwadi Agada and thereby understanding its role in prevention and control of COVID-19 pandemic.

Health Managers

Since the outbreak of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in December 2019, more than 26 million people have been infected. Urban and rural communities are the first line of defense for epidemic prevention and control. As an effective means of disease prevention and control at the community level, health management is of great significance in how to give full play to the professional advantages of health managers at present, and in combination with the current urgent situation of lack of specific drugs and vaccines, to maintain the health and social stability of the community population to the maximum extent. By assessing and intervening the health risk factors of COVID-19, the health manager can help the community effectively control the source of covid-19 infection, cut off the transmission route of COVID-19, effectively protect the vulnerable population in the community, and thus delay the spread and spread of COVID-19.

Otitis media is mainly caused by upper respiratory tract infection and eustachian tube dysfunction. If external upper respiratory tract infection is not detected early in the middle ear, or an appropriate immune response does not occur, otitis media can become a chronic state or complications may occur. Therefore, given the important role of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) in the early response to external antigens, we surveyed the role of TLRs in otitis media. To summarize the role of TLR in otitis media, we reviewed articles on the expression of TLRs in acute otitis media (AOM), otitis media with effusion (OME), chronic otitis media (COM) with cholesteatoma, and COM without cholesteatoma. Many studies showed that TLRs 1–10 are expressed in AOM, OME, COM with cholesteatoma, and COM without cholesteatoma. TLR expression in the normal middle ear mucosa is absent or weak, but is increased in inflammatory fluid of AOM, effusion of OME, and granulation tissue and cholesteatoma of COM. In addition, TLRs show increased or decreased expression depending on the presence or absence of bacteria, recurrence of disease, tissue type, and repeated surgery. In conclusion, expression of TLRs is associated with otitis media. Inappropriate TLR expression, or delayed or absent induction, are associated with the occurrence, recurrence, chronicization, and complications of otitis media. Therefore, TLRs are very important in otitis media and closely related to its etiology.
