    UNFORTUNATELY, QUATHS RECOMMENDED BY AYUSH MANTRALAY HAVE FAILED IN BOOSTING IMMUNITY & THEIR TALL CLAIMS FOR MEDICINES DEVELOPED HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO PROVE EFFICACY. HOWEVER JUST FOR PROFESSIONAL JEALOUSY, THEY RESORTED TO DISCRETIONARY ATTITUDE TOWARDS PATANJALI TRUST’S CORONA IMMUNITY BOOSTER “CORONIL”. IN ALLOPATHY ALSO CERTAIN MEDICINES ARE GIVEN TO BOOST IMMUNITY OF PATIENTS.

    I have noticed several times in the last 10 years that ayurvedic/homeo preventive medicine works in the case of viral fevers and diseases like dengue, chikungunya, etc.
    Sometimes, when it does not work and the symptoms of the disease appear, we have to increase the frequency of the medicine. Within 2 days, all the symptoms disappear.
    I wish government agencies tackle Covid on a larger scale with alternative medicine. This could prevent serious cases and deaths.
