Baba Ramdev, the well-known yoga guru and co-founder of Patanjali Ayurved, recently made headlines by claiming that he has not been sick in the last 50 years. During an interview on the YouTube channel Curly Tales, he stated, “From childhood until now, I have never been ill.
I had a fever once while staying in a gurukul, but since then, I have not experienced any sickness—no cold, no cough, no diarrhea, or food poisoning.” Ramdev is a strong advocate for yoga and Ayurveda, often promoting natural remedies over conventional medicine. He emphasized that he does not use allopathic medicines at all, saying, “There is no need for them.” His comments come amid ongoing debates about the effectiveness of traditional versus modern medicine.

At a recent event in Haridwar, Ramdev criticized allopathic medicine, claiming that "millions of people in India have perished due to the use of allopathic medicine." He argued that foreign pharmaceutical companies create a dependency on synthetic drugs and called for a "swadeshi" (indigenous) revolution in healthcare.

His statements have sparked controversy and drawn criticism from various medical professionals and organizations. Many experts argue that while yoga and a healthy lifestyle can contribute to overall well-being, it is unrealistic to expect complete immunity from illnesses.
In the past, Ramdev has faced legal challenges for making unverified claims about his products. The Delhi High Court previously directed him to retract statements claiming that his Ayurvedic product Coronil could cure COVID-19. Despite these controversies, Ramdev continues to maintain a significant following and influence in India’s health and wellness community.
As discussions around health practices evolve, Ramdev's claims highlight the ongoing tension between traditional and modern medical approaches in India.
