While the dengue fear is deepening with the rise in the number of the afflicted, the practitioners of Alternative medicine claim that clove, black pepper and tulsi leaves extract taken twice a day helps keep a person strong to fight the dengue virus. A city based scientist and Ayurvedic practitioner Dr Vijay Verma claims to have treated 79 dengue patients till date since 2013, adopting integrated therapy combining Panchkarma and allopathic critical care. “Allopathic treatment is only a supportive method of treatment in dengue cases.
If the blood platelets count goes down to a certain level platelets need to be infused in the patient say the Allopathic doctors. But with Ayurvedic treatment, using ‘Vasti Kriya’ and use of ‘Snehan’, a person can recover without platelets being infused in them,” claims Verma.
Arguing for the efficacy of herbal medicine made from cow’s milk, oil and honey which starts showing results in ten minutes of its intake, Dr Verma said that the internal bleeding stops in the patient and within 24 hours, the blood platelets’ count starts increasing.
Under vector disease control programme, Ministry of Health Government of India and AIIMS have undertaken clinical trials, he said, adding that AIIMS has accepted the protocol sent by him along with the database of 48 patients.
Speaking to The Pioneer, Anil Prajapati Vaidya from Patanjali Ayurved Sansthan said, “We have made a special formulation ‘Dengueneil Vati’ which has to be taken twice a day in the dosage of two tablets. It gives immense relief to the patients and brings up platelet level.”
