Ramesh Tyagi, 58, had tried everything: morning walks at Gandhi Bagh, lauki juice, and a treadmill his son bought on EMI that is now used to dry clothes. Then his neighbour, a retired Ayurvedacharya, told him about a 400-year-old formula that big pharma companies "do not want you to know".
"Within one week my kurta became loose," Tyagi told us. "Within two weeks, the doctors in Meerut were very angry."
