Karnataka Ayush department has announced supply of its dependable medicine, Araq Ajeeb, an Unani medicine in boosting immunity to fight against Covid-19.
As per Mohammed Rafi Hakim, District Ayush Officer, Bengaluru, the medicine that comes in liquid form is being supplied to Ministers, MPs, MLAs and bureaucrats through all Ayush Hospitals across Karnataka. The medicine helps in clearing congestion and phlegm from the chest and helps in increasing oxygen levels.
It has to be applied on the forehead, add a drop in hot milk or tea and can be applied on the face mask too for prevention of infection and boosting immunity.
The medicine was used during the H1N1 spike earlier and as per Dr Hakim, there was a lot of improvement then and now that Covid is there, the same is being supplied as an additional medicine. Due to its characteristics of clearing congestion and bettering breathing, it is called a 'pocket ventilator' among Unani circles.
