Panaji, Apr 10 (IANS): Amid confident claims made by Union Minister of State for AYUSH, Shripad Naik, that British Crown Prince Charles was cured of Covid-19 with the help of alternative medicines, including ayurvedic treatment, Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Thursday insisted that ayurveda had no cure for novel coronavirus.

Sawant, who is a doctor of alternative medicine, however, said that ayurvedic treatment helps build up the immunse system to resist Covid-19 and added that Goa was the first state in the country to introduce an integrated treatment progamme for Covid-19 patients as well as those under quarantine.

"Ayurveda has no cure for Covid-19, but it can increase immunity," Sawant said at a press conference here on Thursday.

Earlier this week, amid denials from the official spokesperson of the British Prince, AYUSH Minister Shripad Naik, who is a Lok Sabha MP from Goa, had insisted that Prince Charles was "101 per cent" cured of Covid-19 with a combination of treatment using ayurveda and homeopathy medicines.

Sawant also said that Goa is the first state in the country to integrate ayurveda and allopathy in treating the six Covid-19 positive patients as well as those who are currently quarantined in state government facilities.

"Ayurveda doctors are working in consultation with our medical teams about what ayurvedic medicine should be given to the patients who are Covid-19 positive and in quarantine. We are the first state to do so. It is an integrated treatment of allopathic and ayurveda medicines," Sawant rold reporters.

    Ayurveda has its own benefits to prevent & to help the body heal, but in an emergency requiring ventilator care when patient is unable to breathe our modern interventionist care is required.
    Majority of patients that is 80% people have moderate symptoms & doesn't require medicines who can benefit by using Ayurvedic potions.
    Our 20%, 15% require medicines & hospital stay who can use them too, but out of them 2% require ICU care & 1% require assisted breathing equipment or ventilators, who should only be treated by MBBS trained doctors with different specialization in that stage in tandem & Ayurvedic treatments shouldn't be attempted as some medicines either neutralize or give adverse reaction if combined with allopathic medicines.
    Both should consult each other & understand the situation & decide which patient requires which treatments.
