Two days after Indian AYUSH
Minister Shripad Naik claimed Prince Charles was cured of Coronavirus illness
using Ayurveda, the office of the second-in-line to the British throne rejected
the same.

“This information is incorrect. The
Prince of Wales followed the medical advice of the NHS (National Health
Service) in the UK and nothing more,” Ella Lynch, Spokesperson for the Prince
of Wales, was quoted as saying by The Indian Express.

Earlier Naik made the statement
while referring to a claim by a Bangalore-based holistic treatment centre.

“I got a call from Dr. (Isaac)
Mathai, who runs the SOUKYA ayurveda resort in Bengaluru. He told me that his
treatment of Prince Charles through ayurveda and homeopathy has been
successful,” Naik had said.

When Ayurveda and Health Tourism
magazine contacted, Dr Issac Mathai of Bangalore-based Soukya International
Holistic Health Centre said he had informed the AYUSH ministry of the
treatment. “I can’t disclose anything more to media at this stage,” he said.
Charles and his wife Camilla Parkar-Bowles, Duchess of Cornwall, had in
November last travelled to Bangalore to avail integrated medicinal therapy at
Soukya.

Heir-to-the-throne Charles, 71,
came out of self-isolation on Monday and said in a video address that he was
suffering “luckily … relatively mild symptoms” and although he had
recovered, he was still in a state of social distance and general isolation.

The royal couple was tested for the
disease on March 23. While Prince Charles tested positive for the deadly virus,
his wife Camilla tested negative for virus presence. However, both were
self-isolating separately in Balmoral estate in Scotland.
