Top Ayurveda Institute Incorporates Allopathy & Modern Tech, Successfully Treats 600 Covid Patients
News 18Amid a controversy over Yoga guru Ramdev's remarks on allopathy and doctors, the head of the government-run All India Institute of Ayurveda has said the facility has successfully treated at least 600 Covid patients by implementing both the systems of medicine. Prof Tanuja Nesari said a holistic approach and the integration of ayurveda, allopathy and modern diagnostic technology made it possible. "Pure ayurvedic treatment was provided to more than 94 percent of the patients, but allopathy was used wherever required as per the guidelines of the Indian Council of Medical Research. If the patient's condition doesn't improve, we take the help of allopathy, which involves the use of steroids etc, according to the ICMR guidelines," Prof Nesari said.
