Camphor 1M, the new entrant in fight against coronavirus

For the past few weeks, medical practitioners in India are turning to alternative medicines as a way of preventive measure to tackle the deadly coronavirus. Previously, it was an Ayurvedic drug called Zingvir-H, which was later followed with a homeopathy medicine called Arsenicum Album 30. FPJ had previously reported how the BMC is using the said medicine for treating asymptomatic patients. This came after the Central Council for Research in Homeopathy (CCRH), under the ministry of Ayush had recommended the usage of Arsenicum.

And now, another homeopathic medicine called Camphor 1M is gaining popularity.

But, now, because of the Camphor 1M medicine, not only have the deaths reduced drastically, the number of people getting cured has also doubled. Speaking further about Camphor 1M, it is reported Bajaj has distributed this medicine among his staff and over three lakh people in Pune for free of cost.

In fact, Commissioner of Police, Pune, after being inspired by Bajaj, in an interview with a news channel, revealed distribution of the medicine amongst his police force and has been nothing but beneficial for them.

In the interview with the news channel, Bajaj said he is willing to fund the entire cost of distribution of the medicine if the government gives a go ahead to the distribution of Camphor 1M, which can be distributed free of cost amongst the citizens of India. Currently, government is only allowing the usage of Arsenicum Album 30.
