COVID-19 “Nal Valvu” Booklet

Auroville’s Institute of Integral Health Santé and the Auroville Village Action Group have issued the booklet “Nal Valvu” (Good and meaningful life), which aims at raising awareness about COVID-19 – how it spreads, how to manage the risk of infection, what Community transmission and herd immunity are, and how the Covishield vaccine effects immunity. The booklet contains multiple strategies to boost family immunity and protection. It has sections on factors that depress our immune system, and on lifestyle recommendations to maintain wellbeing, such as exercise, positivity, mental health, sleep and immunity-boosting diets and supplements. It also mentions Ayurvedic immunity enhancing preparations approved by the Indian Government (AYUSH), homeopathic remedies, and acupressure as a way to stimulate the flow of Chi energy. 

The booklet will be distributed to homes in the villages surrounding Auroville by Auroville Village Action Group
