Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the causative agent of the recent global pandemic COVID-19 with increased mortality rate. It was described as a public health emergency of global concern by the World Health Organization. The corona virus is more prone to mutation. Genome analysis has proved that many mutations have occurred in SARS-CoV-2 and variants of the virus have evolved globally. Siddha medicines have proved to be the effective way in curing the corona virus infection by treating with Kabasurakudineer formulation .The objective of this review is to trace the rationale behind the efficacy of Kabasurakudineer formulation in treating, controlling and preventing SARS-CoV-2.
