Patanjali Ayurveda, co-founded by Baba Ramdev, has claimed that it has developed an Ayurveda medicine as a cure for Covid-19. Patients taking the medicine, Acharya Balkrishna of Patanjali, got cured within a span of five to 14 days.

"The medicine has yielded 100% favourable results," Balkrishna told ANI.

“A team of scientists were brought on board soon after the outbreak of the virus. Simulation experiments were carried out. Compounds that can fight the virus were identified. We also conducted a clinical case study on hundreds of positive patients," he told the news agency.

Covid-19 can be treated but not cured. The scientific community across the world has failed to invent a cure with the best of research facilities available in the sphere of modern medicine. Readers are advised to take Patanjali's claim with loads of salt.
