Claim: One video, with hundreds of views, claims that if you add neem leaves, mint leaves, betel leaves of holy basil to a pocket made within the mask, the air you breathe gets cleaner and better.
Fact-check: No, putting basil leaves, camphor inside the mask will not purify the air nor it will protect you from Covid-19 - First Check
Verdict: neem leaves and mint leaves are known to purify the air when they are a part of the plant. when they are inserted into the mask pockets, they clearly wilt soon. there are no demonstrated benefits of these herbs inside the masks.
