wool in violet oil before bedtime,” instructs Abbas Tabrizian, then “insert into your anus.” Not only will you smell flowery, you will ward off covid-19, says the Iranian ayatollah, who runs a popular online shop called the Islamic Medical Centre. Hossein Ravazadeh, another prominent quack, recommends bitter gourd oil dropped into the ears twice a day.
None of this works, of course. There is as yet no cure for covid-19. But as the death toll mounts in Iran, home to one of the world’s worst outbreaks, desperate people are turning to alternative medicine. The country’s 15,000, or Islamic apothecaries, report a roaring trade. Their medicinal herbs and spices are an affordable substitute for scarce and costly drugs, which are difficult to import because of American sanctions.
All this quackery gives the virus a free pass. Several top clerics have died after relying on herbal remedies. They include Mahmoud Hashemi-Shahroudi, an ayatollah who was tipped to succeed Mr Khamenei, and Mohyeddin Haeri-Shirazi, another firebrand. In March a junior cleric, Morteza Kohansal, posted a video of himself in a hospital ward, not wearing any protective gear, applying the Prophet’s perfume to covid-19 patients.
The more rational parts of Iran’s leadership are speaking out, denouncing charlatans and scams. Unauthorised clerics are “engaging in the darkness of superstition and ignorance”, said the health ministry. Police have raided Mr Tabrizian’s warehouses. On April 4th they arrested Mr Kohansal, who has since been released. Many quacks are still out there, peddling bad medicine in the name of Islam.

How to cover up Trump's stupid and dangerous advice to inject disinfection? Focus on insignificant news on Iran and bold it. People will forget to talk about U.S. president!
Uummhh....no.
Desperate Iranians have been getting bad advice for a hot minute.
Essential oils.. 👍
That is a new one🙈
Only one individual specialist in traditional medicine recommended the use of violet oil. Not the president of the country. How about injecting disinfectants recommended by Trump Loosers
Pseudoscience always along with religious fundamentalism
There are tons of NATURAL REMEDIES
Well, they are getting better advice than Americans 🤣🤣 the GREAT America’s president is recommending people to inject bleach 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣believe me, they’re worse than Iranian.
Listen to what your President suggested, inject some disinfectants.
Recently, the Islamic regime and Persian chauvinism have suggested that you eat camel urine to stop the coronavirus. The ignorance of this ignorant group is becoming more visible every day.
