Solar rays increase ‘kapha'(earthy) qualities in mid morning and sun rises to mid day solar heat increases ‘pitta’ (fire energy) finally as the sun sinks into the horizon ‘vata’ become more abundant

AYURVEDIC CLOCK:-

1.KAPHA(6:00AM TO 10:00AM):-

Blue hour included blue and violet light because blue has shorter wavelength and faster frequency

Researcher shows that blue light is an inhibitor of melatonin- the hormone that keeps us asleep at night as melatonin in order to wake up as both mentally and physically and helps us to transition from early morning vata to lay lit kapha

Blue light can balance is anxiety and depression which is much needed to start the day

KAPHA TIME AND SUNRISE:-

One hour before sunrise is a blue hour which scattered blue light shutts off melatonin production and UV radiations production is blocked.white, red and infrared light shine boosting muscular strength and mitochondrial energy that balances kapha during morning hours

2.PITTA-(10:00am to 2pm):-

UV radiations finally able to penetrate the atmosphere in fully force and activate vitamin d production in skin which produces pitta energy.

UV radiation can be pitta pacifying and treat skin diseases like psoriasis and dermatitis but can be aggrevating and in excess causes skin cancer but it is all of a matter of exposure.

Blue light at the mid day is scattered turning the sky bright blue and cooling pitta. This can energize ithe body functions.

Red blue green light during mid day combined to make invisible white light that balances pitta while boosting mood and alertness

3.VATA(2pm to 6pm)

The white light illumes the earth in afternoon increases vata which is why Ayurved suggest that rate afternoon is the best time for mental activities At this time of the day Sun begins its afternoon push to horizon UV light steadily blocked by atmosphere which reduces vata(2 to 6:00 p.m. )and initial stages of kapha starting( 6:00 p.m.)

Serotonin is neurotransmitter that stable mood is also precursor of melatonin.

Infra-red light exposure more IR exposure as per sunrise before sunset beneficial for melatonin production

UV B radiations responsible for vitamin d production it also included in pathways of production of melatonin (3000 to 5000 IUS a day)

*Guidance From Ayurvedic practitioners

Corona Virus has been spread globally and has its terror on the mankind recently. As there is no cure found till date, the only way is the prevention from this disease. Taking precautions are always better than cure. This is seen in the case of many affected countries. Whole Globe is under Lockdown or Curfew Conditions. This is just because the reason this virus is too much contagious, and spreading at a very fast rate. As it also flatten the curve on graph of number of infections with respect to Time. and in turn it gives the health care agencies more time to respond to the crisis.

World Health Organisation and the governments have provided with many and simple prevention methods to fight and contain the spread of this pandemic. As per WHO, the best prevention is to make yourself clear.
There are various precautions that have to be taken into account for its containment and prevention, which are as follows:
1. Wash Your Hands thoroughly with Soap and Water ; apply the soap and massage it onto your hands for at least 25-30 seconds and then rinse with clean water, and avoid touching the hands on face, eyes, nose or mouth without washing.
2. If going outside and contacting any person or thing with bare hands, then use alcohol based sanitizer, if Soap and water is not available.
3. Wear Protective Mask, if you are having cough, sneeze, or any other Flu like symptoms.
4. Also while going outside, wear Eyewear if suitable to protect your eyes, as this Virus has the potential to enter to your bloodstream through the eyes.
5. Maintain Social Distancing : Social distancing means to maintain at least One Meter Distance from others, don’t go near to other persons, as you may not know, who is infected or not.
6. Avoid unnecessary travel & meeting others so as to contain the spread of this Virus.

Now the question arises what has Ayurveda and other traditional methods of the world has to offer to prevent or cure this disease caused by this Newly found Virus ?

As we can see the name Corona Virus is not new, and the structure of Virus is also not very much different from the viruses which caused SARS or MERS. As a Virus enters any living human body, it attacks on the the normal living cell of the human body and makes it as host. Then after entering the host, it replicates itself to the extent of bursting of the host cell, and spreading the new copies of the virus into the body. When this process continues, the human body recognize it and produce antibodies to fight with these Virus foreign elements. In this Fight the dead material of the virus versus antibody remains in the body of human being. In case of this CoV-2 , the dead material lies in the lungs of the human body as a liquid mucous form. Now the whole thing depends here, if the body is able to push out this liquid material from itself or not. As this liquid filled in the lungs, causes pneumonia like situation and cause breathlessness as most part of the lungs is filled with this. Then there arises asphyxia, which is deficiency of oxygen in the body, and the patients need external support of oxygen & ventilators. As seen most of the patients recovers from this, & some dies. Now it has also been observed that patients of old age or over 60 and the patients having other ailments in the body are dying much from this disease. The main reason being is their less Immunity Power. The more the immunity of the patients, less are the chances of fatality.

Ayurveda has described many things which boosts the immunity of a person. Ayurvedic medications & nutrition from herbs & food provide strength to the body to fight with every kind of Virus or any other ailment causing material.
The Ayurveda provides a long list of things which can be consumed to boost the immunity of a person, but we will discuss only those which are easily accessible and Ayurveda also restrict and prohibit use of many things which make favorable conditions for virus like things to grow.
Herbs which are beneficial in boosting immunity of a person are as follows:
1. Turmeric : It contains curcumin which is a strong antioxidant
2. Ginger : It contains Gingerol, which helps in reducing muscle pains & soreness .
3. Black Pepper : It contains Bioprine, which increases nutrition absorption in the body
4. Echinacea Angustfolia : This Immunity booster herb was effective in SARS & MERS coronaviruses
5. Vitamin C Rich Fruits like Guava, Oranges & many More. : 0.2 gram of daily intake of Vitamin C helps in boosting immunity of the body.
