The pandemic is originated from China and currently impacted more than 205 countries worldwide (as on dated 2nd April 2020). This pandemic is not only affecting human life but also has questioned the worldwide status of healthcare facilities and resulted in a slowdown of the economy. But the fact is the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes Covid-19, has less virulence but a high infection rate than SARS-CoV-1, which caused an outbreak of SARS in 2003. The disease is mainly transmitted either through close contact with an infected person via respiratory droplets or by touching a contaminated surface. Treatment involves a combination of certain potent antiviral drugs. SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 share 80 to 90 percent genetic similarity; thus, the treatments which are effective against SARS-CoV-1 can be adjuvant therapeutic strategy against SARS-CoV-2. Some of the essential oils with certain active compounds show...

Bioelectronic medicine is the consolidation of molecular medicine, neuroscience, engineering, and computing to develop a device to diagnose and treat diseases. The mechanisms of Bioelectronic medicine for neural control of a biological process that underlie disease and the development of devices to modulate these specific neural circuits as therapy using electrons instead of drugs. Bioelectronic medicine has emerged at a convergent epicenter in health care, technology, and science. Bioelectronic medicine is a new way to treat disease. Today patients are treated by either drug, which can lead to a side effect or drive up costs, which can mask pain signals but they usually can’t mask the central cause of disease. With the rapid rise in technology for the precision detection & modulation of electrical signaling patterns in the nervous system is a new class of treatment known as bioelectronic medicines. Specifically, the peripheral nervous system will be at the center of this advance, as the functions it controls in chronic...

The liver is the principal site for metabolism and excretion in the body. The human liver metabolizes substances by various biochemical pathways, including oxidation, reduction, hydration, condensation, hydrolysis, conjugation or isomerization. Disorder of any of therefore mentioned process may lead to liver cell injury, what we call as hepatotoxicity, which in turn leads to many diseases. Such diseases are responsible for higher mortality rates worldwide. Hepatotoxicity can be due to medicines, chemicals, dietary disturbances, or herb induced liver damage via hepatotoxins. A number of herbal and herbomineral preparations are available in the Ayurveda, the traditional Indian medicine, which has been investigated for their hepatoprotective potential to treat different types of liver disorders. The use of natural elements to eliminate the root cause of the disease by restoring balance at the same time creates a healthy lifestyle to prevent the recurrence of imbalance. Herbal medicines have existed worldwide with long recorded history, and they were used in ancient Chinese, Greek, Egyptian, and Indian medicine for various therapies purposes. World Health...
