The talk of the town these days is all about an Ayurvedic ‘paniya’ or syrup, supposedly prepared by using some secret ingredients in addition to nutmegs and bees honey, being sought by desperate Sri Lankans, who appear to have lost faith in the government’s ability to control or curb the rapidly spreading viral infection.
We saw last week in the print and electronic media, pictures of hundreds of men and women rushing to the village of Hettimulla in Kegalle and gathering outside the high-walled residence of Kapurala-turned Ayurveda practitioner Dhammika Bandara to grab a bottle of the ‘paniya’ being touted by him as a cure for the deadly COVID-19 virus, and according to some media reports was being distributed free-of-charge.
