Modi-ally Ramdev’s company found guilty of violating India medicine law

“…the claims made on the packets of Patanjali’s Youvan Gold Plus powdered herbs (churan) were unsubstantiated and implied it enhanced sexual pleasure.

“An authentic powder booster Ayurvedic medicine useful in physical and sexual weakness,” the product description on the packet says.

This “improves libido, vigour and vitality, sexual power”, and “keeps you always healthy, energetic and gives you total satisfaction of married life”, the description goes on to claim.

“This means the product is meant for increasing sexual gratification. Such claims are in breach of the law as they violate the Drugs and Magic Remedies Act,” ASCI Secretary General Shweta Purandare told this reporter.”
