Growing medicinal plants will purify atmosphere: Baba Ramdev

Udupi: Yoga exponent Baba Ramdev on Sunday said that growing medicinal plants like Tulsi, Aloe vera and Amritaballi helps in purifying the surroundings.

Speaking on the second-day of Yoga camp, organised by Paryaya Palimaru Mutt and Patanjali Yoga Peetha Trust, at the parking area of Sri Krishna Mutt Ramdev said, “To ward off the polluted atmosphere one need to grow more of medicinal plants like Tulsi, Aloe vera and Amritaballi, which helps in purifying the surroundings.”

He further added, “People have to set aside more time for Yoga and pranayama on weekend. There is a need to limit the quantity of food consumed. It is not right to give priority to sleeping and order food from outside during weekend.”

On the occasion he also urged the people to change their lifestyle.

“One should consume food before 7 pm. There is a need to reduce the consumption of food made of rice and wheat and consume more of vegetables. One should drink at least three litres of water per day,” he said.

Meanwhile, Pejawar Mutt seer Vishwesha Theertha Swami said, “Yoga helps in maintaining a healthy body and concentration.”
