Viral video: Man wears mask made with neem and tulsi leaves

A video of a Baba (saint) wearing a natural mask is making rounds on the internet.

The video was posted on Twitter by an IPS official named Rupin Sharma. He wrote, “Not sure this MASK WILL HELP. Still, NECESSITY is the mother of JUGAAD.”

In the video, the saint is seen wearing saffron-colored clothes and standing on a roadside pavement, and that is when the man shooting the video approaches him and asks, “Baba, how did you make the mask?”.

The Baba replied that Neem leaves are a very crucial medicine for any kind of illness and are known for being an age-old cure. The Baba further said that he is 72-years-old and made the mask with tulsi and neem leaves.

The Baba further added that it is much more effective than the usual surgical or cloth masks that people are normally using.  The Baba was spotted at the bus stand of Uttar Pradesh’s Sitapur district.

The video has garnered over 500 views and several comments so far.
