Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will undergo natural therapy over the next 10 days for treating his dry cough at a private hospital here, a medical officer said on Thursday.
“We have prescribed natural therapy from Friday for Kejriwal who suffers from chronic cough besides having high blood sugar level,” said Jindal Naturecure Institute chief medical officer Babina Nandakumar. After admission into the hospital and hour-long rest, a team of doctors conducted an ECG (electrocardiogram) test on Kejriwal and found it to be normal.
“Blood test and test for chronic cough will be taken Friday. Initial assessment shows he also has high blood sugar level and dry cough,” Nandakumar said. Kejriwal, who is accompanied by his parents Gobind Ram and Gita Devi, is put up in a four-bedroom cottage in the sprawling hospital on the city’s outskirts. “As in the case of other patients, Kejriwal will also be on a strict diet consisting of boiled vegetables, Indian wheat bread (chapthi) and soup,” the officer said. The naturopathy treatment comprises a series of exercises, including yogic postures (asanas), walking, breathing and organic food.
“The day-long treatment begins at 5.30 am and goes on till 8.30 pm. Early to rise and early to bed is the norm. During treatment, patients are not allowed to make phone calls and visitors are not allowed to meet them,” the lady doctor said. Though the naturopathy treatment is for a minimum of three-four weeks, the doctors will decide if he can be allowed to leave after 10 days or extend his stay by a week.
