The current global health pandemic that has the world in its grip shows no signs of stopping. Scientists are trying to find a cure and trials are going on in many parts of the world. Some have even gone on to the stage of human trials. This happens even as some of the worst affected countries are limping back to normalcy. But in India, the number of COVID-19 positive cases are rising every day especially after the easing of lockdown restrictions. Today, India occupies fourth position among the countries that are worst affected by the pandemic.
Against this backdrop, Baba Ramdev’s Patanjali Ayurveda has come forward and announced that researchers of the company have successfully found a cure for COVID-19. This drug, called Coronil, is now in its testing phase and it can completely ‘cure’ infected patients within 5-14 days.

Though till now, there are no science backed evidence that this branch of alternative medicine can indeed cure COVID-19, experts agree that it can help in preventing infection by boosting immunity.
Ayurveda comes to the rescue
Patanjali scientists have been trying to develop a cure for the current health pandemic since the outbreak. Once the simulation was done and compounds which can fight the virus and stop its spread in the body was identified, they conducted a clinical case study on hundreds of positive patients. Researchers were pleasantly surprised to see 100 per cent favourable results.
Coronil is not an immunity booster, it is a cure
According to researchers, this is not an immunity booster but a cure. The patients who participated in the study consecutively tested negative for the virus. Based on this, the company was recently given the go-ahead for clinical trials by the drug regulatory board. If the findings are indeed true, this would be the first alternate treatment that can successfully contain the spread of the virus globally.
About the wonder drug
