We worship cow as “KAMADHENU”, the God who fulfils our desire
MEDICINAL BENEFITS: In case of medicinal benefits though all the five products are considered equally important, the use of Gomutra is highlighted here.All ancient text books of Ayurveda explain the importance of cow’s urine in treatment of various disorders. Ayurveda alone can explain 8 types urine with their properties and uses, among which cow’s urine is considered as the best. Astanga Samgraha of vagbhatta quotes:
SCIENTIFIC VIEWS: The laboratory analysis of cow’s urine shows that it contains iron, copper, nitrogen, sulphur, manganese, carbolic acid, silicon, chlorine, magnesium, melci, titric, citric, sucerinic citrates, calcium salts, enzymes, mineral salts, vitamins like A,B,C,D,E, creatinine, uric acid, hormones, gold acids etc, and most interestingly – hipuric acid, which removes toxins through urine, Aurum hydroxide, which acts as germicide and there by acts as immunomodulators in increasing immunity if body and build resistance against all minor to major infectious agents. CLINICAL BENEFITS AND INDICATIONS: Gomutra is considered as antifungal, antibacterial, anti allergic, antibiotic, antimicrobial, antihelmentic etc in modern terms. But the usage of Gomutra is innumerable, yet few conditions are listed further based on its guna (character) and dosha (effects). Though Gomutra is pittala, it is tridosha hara. When dose and usage are fixed on requirements and based on condition, mode of administrations, mode of preparation, it becomes like nectar, thus pacifying all 3 doshas. Thus the usage of Gomutra is accounted from small infection to severe disorder.
