Even as researchers and pharmaceutical firms across the world are burning the midnight oil to find a vaccine and medicine for the coronavirus pandemic, Patanjali CEO Acharya Balkrishna has come out a claim that Patanjali Ayurved has found a cure for COVID-19.
According to media reports, Balkrishna said when the virus began to spread across the world, a team of scientists at Patanjali Ayurved was tasked with find a cure for the disease. They worked day and night and identified herbs that had medicinal properties to cure the disease.
He further claimed that they have treated many people who had contracted COVID-19 and all of them have recovered and tested negative. Patients took five to 15 days to be completed cured, he said.
Claiming that a lot of people have recovered after taking their medicines, he said this has proved that COVID-19 can be cured by Ayurveda. “We are conducting controlled clinical trials,” he said, and promised to offer evidences for the cure in the next four to five days.
