CCMB to assess Ayurveda formulations' efficacy against coronavirus

Ayurveda formulations would be
tested on lab-grown strains of coronavirus by the CSIR-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) here to ascertain their anti-viral efficacy in the fight against the pathogen, under a pact with Kerala-based Arya Vaidya Sala (AVS).
Standardised Ayurveda formulations provided by AVS in Kottakkal would be tested on the lab-grown coronavirus in the cell culture system, the premier research institute here said on Friday.
"If it yields tangible results, the project will lead to a major progress in pharmaceutical industry in India," CCMB Director Rakesh Mishra said.
While the country possessed a lot of ancient wisdom, it has lacked defined regulatory protocols for testing the efficacy of formulations that were based on classical texts, he said.
