Long-COVID is a post-COVID condition, is also known as Long-Haul-COVID / post COVID syndrome (PCS). It is estimated that 10 – 30% of patients might experience Long-COVID after recovering. It is incredibly frustrating and impacts the health, employment status and overall quality of life. There is a significant interest in medication to treat Long-COVID.  Data about the safety and benefit of medications and supplements is currently insufficient and more research is needed.</p> <p>According to Ayurveda, LONG COVID can be interpreted as <em>Aptarpanjanya Vikara</em> (disease) caused by <em>Vatapittaprakop, Dhatu-kshaya</em> and <em>Bala-kshaya</em>. Such condition can be treated mainly by <em>Vatapitta Shamak</em>, <em>Brimhana</em> and <em>Resayan Chikitsa</em>.</p> <p>A 14 years old male patient diagnosed as Long-COVID reported to my OPD with complaints of low grade fever, fatigue, multiple joint pain, muscle pain since 4-months. Also, he experienced worsening of systems after physical or mental activity. He was treated at OPD level with <em>Suvarnamalini Vasant Ras</em>, <em>Drakshadi Kash</em>ayam and <em>Guduchisiddha Ghrut</em>.  <em>Abhyanga </em>with<em> Chandanadi Taila </em>was also advised. The treatment over the period of three months resulted in complete relief. Thus the Ayurvedic treatment was found to be effective in managing Long-COVID.</p>}, number={02}, journal={Ayurline: International Journal of Research in Indian Medicine}, author={Singh, Pushpa}, year={2022}, month={Apr.} }
