“We appointed a team of scientists after Covid-19 outbreak. Firstly, the simulation was done and compounds were identified which can fight the virus and stop its spread in the body. Then, we conducted a clinical case study on hundreds of positive patients and we have got 100 per cent favourable results,” ANI quoted Balkrishna as saying.

He also said that clinical trials were conducted in Indore and in Jaipur after Patanjali had got permission last week.

He said COVID-19 patients who were given the Ayurvedic medicine also tested negative for the virus.
