Mumbai: Even as the controversy over ayurveda vs allopathy sparked off by Yoga guru Ramdev rages on over the issue of effective treatment of Covid-19, BJP MP from Mathura and Bollywood actress Hema Malini has claimed that organising ‘havans’ at homes can save a person from various diseases, including coronavirus.

Sharing a video on World Environment Day on Saturday she appealed to the people to perform havan at their homes to “cleanse the environment" and also save themselves from the many diseases such as corona.

The lawmaker also shared the ingredients used by her for havan — neem leaves, ghee, cloves, mustard seeds, salt and loban.

She said, “I have been doing this for many years after offering puja. And, started doing it twice a day since the pandemic. It not only cleans the environment, but also gives a sense of purity, besides keeping diseases like corona out.”

In another purported video shared on Friday, Hema Malini had said that practice of havan is believed to be effective in cleaning the negativity since ages.

“Today the entire world is struggling with the pandemic outbreak and the wrath of nature. I appeal to everyone to hold havan at home not only on environment day but almost every day till we defeat corona,” she said, adding that this solution has no connection with any caste or religion.

She congratulated the RSS Mathura wing for taking an initiative of organising havan in every household on the World Environment Day.
