“Letter showing AYUSH Ministry approval for Patanjali’s COVID-19 medicine ‘Coronil’”
What FACTLY found
In the letter, it is nowhere mentioned that AYUSH Ministry has approved Patanjali’s medicine ‘Coronil’ as a cure for treating COVID-19. The ministry said that they will evaluate the research related documents submitted by Patanjali regarding ‘Coronil’. The letter was also posted by Patanjali MD Acharya Balakrishna on his social media accounts but he did not mention anything about getting approval.
