Samantha Ruth Prabhu, a beloved figure in Indian cinema, recently found herself embroiled in a controversy after advocating for hydrogen peroxide nebulisation on social media. In her post on Instagram, Samantha suggested an alternative approach to treating viral infections, urging her followers to try nebulising with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and distilled water instead of resorting to medications. “Before taking medication for a common viral, consider trying an alternative approach,” Samantha wrote.
“One option is to nebulize with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and distilled water. Works like magic. Avoid unnecessary use of pills,” she added.
This endorsement caught the attention of Dr. Cyriac Abby Philips, known on social media as “The Liver Doc,” who vehemently criticised Samantha’s recommendation. Dr.
Philips labelled the actress as “health and science illiterate” and accused her doctors of being “businessmen.” He also issued a stern warning about the potential dangers of hydrogen peroxide nebulisation. Left: Influential Indian actress Ms.
