*Dr. Nishi Arora and Dr. Praveen Choudhary
ABSTRACT
Taking the deterioration of physical and mental health in post-covid patients seriously, the paper focuses on how to
solve the issues. The symptoms and signs of Ojo-kshey[1] as mentioned in Charak Samhita are similar to physical
and psychological ill effects in post covid patients. The author further suggested that Charak Samhita can offer a
remedy for the mental health issue. For this study, 50 post covid patients were selected from age group of 40-50
years, irrespective of gender. A structural questionnaire covering 25 items was presented to the patients on one to
one telephonic call. The questions were based on the components described in Ojo-kshey (Anxiety, weakness,
overthinking, etc). The guidelines of treatment (gyan, vigyan, dhairya, smriti, smadhi)
[2] were used for six group
counselling sessions on google meet of 50 minutes each. The total time span was 2 weeks. The results were encouraging and the patients found normalcy in their life after that. Firstly, patients can seemingly be helped to recover in such a way. Secondly, there was found a similarity between signs of Ojo-kshey and post-covid impact on
physical and mental health. The third conclusion was that the remedial guidelines suggested in Charak Samhita
seem to still be applicable.
Keywords: Ojo-kshey, Gyan, Dhairta, Vigyan, Smriti, Smadhi.
