Abstract
With the advent of COVID-19, numerous scientific studies from different parts of the world emerged, documenting the beneficial effects of sunlight on decreasing transmittance, morbidity, and mortality due to COVID-19. Research also highlighted the beneficial effects of sunlight in terms of antimicrobial, antiviral effects, and vitamin D production and its role in improving immunity and decreasing mortality due to COVID-19. Along with this, also resurfaced the debate on the hype of the above-mentioned and other positive attributes and the negative attributes of sunlight in terms of causing skin cancer and aggravation of certain other disease conditions. This article revisits the scientific and historical evidence in the context of sunlight and presents an interdisciplinary, integrative perspective, including Ayurveda and conventional science, for the evaluation of the advantages and disadvantages and contemplation regarding the application of sunlight exposure in health care.
