A large number of social media regulars have appealed to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to promote Ayurveda – India’s traditional healthcare system to mitigate the impact of COVID-19.
The appeal comes after a federal minister claimed that treatment for the COVID-19 infection for “Prince Charles through Ayurveda and homeopathy has been successful". Prince Charles' office later rejected such reports from India.
The British prince, aged 71, has been a vocal supporter of Ayurveda in the past. In 2018, he even joined Indian Prime Minister Modi during his UK visit to a museum in London to launch a new Ayurvedic Centre of Excellence.
However, a lot of people want Prime Minister Modi to use this time to promote the ancient Indian medical system of Ayurveda.
Ayurveda has power to cure or prevent any disease.

Some are taking to Twitter to support Modi’s move shine light sources from balconies or houses without congregating at 9 p.m. IST on Sunday for nine minutes to help the public dispel the persisting fear of corona.
On April 5 at 9 pm, the lamp experiment will break the environment of fear of coronavirus and will destroy the harmful viruses immediately and my request to PM is that the public should also be familiar.#संस्कृति_अपनाओ_कोरोना_भगाओ
