Indian Ayurveda College claims Ebola cure

The Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri Ayurvedic College in Allahabad claims to have “rediscovered” a cure for the deadly Ebola virus. According to Prof. G.S. Tomar, head of the department of Kaya-Chikitsa in the college, the classical Ayurveda text called Yog Ratnakar mentions a disease called Raktasthivi Sannipaat that bears a striking resemblance to the symptoms of the Ebola disease. The symptoms like spitting out blood, fever and excessive vomiting along with thirst, short breath, delirium and diarrhoea are found in both.

Yog Ratnakar includes all essential features related to Ayurveda concepts, practices, procedures, formulations and recommends a decoction of herbs like Nagarmotha, Padmakashtha, Shwet Chandan, Parpat, Shatavari, Yashtimadhu, Mahanimba, Chitrak and Rakta Chandan for the management of hemorrhagic fever that occurs in Eloba-afflicted patients.

Ayurveda says that germs can develop and multiply in the body only when immunity becomes weak. Herbs like Ashwagandha, Guduchi, Tulsi, Pippali, and Yashtimadhu are known to have properties of immune-modulator and play a key role in checking viral and bacterial outbreak.
