Summary of article contents:
Monkey pox is a zoonotic Orthodox virus that causes diseases in humans and has striking similarities with Smallpox. The case fatality rate (CFR), one of the important epidemiological indicators, estimates monkey pox CFR as 10%. Despite being of high consequence, monkey pox lacks effective prophylaxis and treatment. The unwanted/overuse of antibiotics in similar diseases is causing a significant threat to public health. It is observed that the Ayurvedic understanding of " Masoorika " has got a significant similarity with Smallpox, which is identical to Monkey pox. According to the World Health Organization, Monkey pox is a global health emergency. An earlier COVID-19 public health emergency was observed, which resulted in a significant increase in psychological distress and anxiety among the population. A similar psychological distress condition may be expected with Monkey pox as well since there is a global health emergency. Water purification with herbs and fumigation with herbal combinations is a vitally effective, safe, and economical preventive strategy. Yoga and meditation can help people deal with the psychological effects of public health emergencies like Monkey pox. The major herbs indicated for managing Masoorika , like Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia), Nimba (Azadirachta Indica), and Patha (Cissampelos pareira), have been extensively evaluated for their effectiveness as potential antiviral, antioxidant, and antiinflammatory agents. Thus, Ayurveda herbs can contribute not only to better recovery from monkey pox but also control unwanted antibiotic use. This review would be one among early attempts to observe the scope of Ayurveda in prevention and treatment approaches towards the management of Monkey pox.
