Karnataka: Ayurveda cured me, says infected seer

SHIVAMOGGA: The seer of a religious institution has recovered within 10 days after testing postive for the novel coronavirus.
While the seer claims it was ayurveda that cured him, the district administration has refuted his claims saying the central government has not recommended ayurveda as a treatment for Covid-19.
The seer told STOI that doctors delayed ayurveda treatment for five days. "A patient has the right to practice any method to cure his or her illness. I request the central government to set up Covid treatment facilities at Ayush hospitals. I quote the PM’s recent speech about ayurveda concoctions, and Chavanaprash as an immune booster," the seer said.
Deputy commissioner KB Sivakumar said that thete is no proof that ayurveda alone cured the seer of Covid-19. "Doctors at the Covid hospital have been giving him prescribed covid medicines. As per the seer’s request, doctors used some ayurveda medicines which woud not clash with the allopathy medicines," he explained.
