With spreading pandemic of COVID-19, Ministry of Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Sidha and Homeopathy (AYUSH) has come up with various measures to provide herbal drinks to strengthen the immunity in people to help them fight the viral infection.
Under its directives, AYUSH Ministry has instructed officials of Saranda Forest Division in West Singhbhum district of Jharkhand - a house to many medicinal plants, to come up with novel ideas from the long-practiced traditional herbal treatments.
The department has come up with immunity booster herbal drinks made from barks of Arjun trees, Tulsi leaves, Guava leaves and other immune building herbs to be consumed by our frontline warriors.
Ministry of AYUSH in its important directives have instructed the forest officials of Saranda Forest Division to prepare such drinks with connivance with the tribal community practising them since long.
Saranda Forest has been house to several medicinal plants, and the immunity booster drink prepared by the team comes from the same. The idea is being taken from Kilimili, a word used in local language for a traditional tribal herbal medicine house.
