Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, all efforts are currently focused on understanding this new infectious disease, specifically in unravelling the pathophysiological mechanisms for prevention of the disease, literal treatment, and avoiding the lingering symptoms or complications of COVID 19. Eosinophilia is one of the standard laboratory findings after the COVID 19 infection. Out of 242 patients visited at Post-COVID OPD of Kayachikitsa department, ITRA, Jamnagar; in 159 patients, the differential eosinophilic count increased while both differential and the absolute eosinophilic count was raised in 134 patients. Many studies suggest that SARS-CoV-2 was directly or indirectly responsible for eosinophilia due to infection or recovery. The conventional treatment for eosinophilia lowers its count but may not provide satisfactory relief. Also, reducing eosinophil count below the specified limit is not advisable in concern with COVID 19 as eosinopenia may indicate a poor prognosis, and in this way, the eosinophil counts have important value as an indicator of severity as well as complications regarding the patients of COVID-19. Therefore, it is indispensable to understand the precise mechanism of eosinophilia integratively, i.e., by conventional and ancient science, to understand the exact etiopathology and to determine the proper treatment protocol. Considering symptomatology, eosinophilia so far can be correlated with Vataja Kasa from an Ayurvedic point of view. This review aims to illustrate the possible integrative knowledge of eosinophilia with respect to COVID 19. Keywords Eosinophilia COVID 19 Ayurveda References
