{Abstract}: COVID-19 patients, with underlying comorbidities are observed to develop complications. Studies have shown that hypertension (one of the comorbidities) is a risk factor for patients with severe COVID-19. There have been more patients with hypertension among those who have died than among survivors. There is no proven treatment of COVID-19 as of now. Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India, has permitted use of traditional systems of medicine for treating mild to moderate cases of COVID-19. In line with this, there are few case reports which show promising results for treatment of COVID-19 with Ayurveda treatment module. These treatment reports highlight subdued COVID-19 infection without developing serious complications. Case in the paper is of a young hypertensive female patient with fever, weakness, anosmia, tastelessness and severe myalgia who was diagnosed with COVID-19. Ayurvedic assessment for this was Kaphavataj jwara. The patient sought Ayurvedic treatment. She was advised with treatment module including medicines, diet and behavioral interventions. Though patient was having comorbid hypertension with major COVID-19 symptoms, tested negative and recovered with exclusive Ayurvedic treatment. The patient was recovered both physically as well as psychologically with no post COVID-19 complications so far. Ayurvedic treatment module appears to be safe and efficacious with early recovery and better outcomes.
