Not only in the country but also among the people living abroad, the trust in Ayurveda is increasing day by day. Be it America or London, nowadays everyone is trusting Ayurveda treatment more than English. Talking about Ayurveda in India, everyone is convinced of the Ayurveda campaign of Baba Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna.
A similar scene was seen in Patanjali Yogpeeth, Haridwar. In an exclusive conversation with TV9, a patient from New York told how Patanjali is a trusted companion for him. Chandra Malhotra, who came from New York for treatment, told that he has been coming to Patanjali for the last 17 days for treatment. Along with diabetes, he has many other complaints. He said that he felt very good after coming to Patanjali and saw rapid improvement in his health. He was given different therapies in Yogpeeth. Malhotra says that he is feeling much better after coming here.
Like Chandra Malhotra, a woman has come here from London to treat her mother. She says that I have heard a lot about this place, so I have come here to get my mother treated.
