Bow to the cow

No ! Mr Ogden Nash , the cow isn't just a creature of bovine ilk with moo at one end and milk at the other. Indian medical science has gone beyond the moo and milk to the pee and poop of the cow. Shedding thousands of years of apathy native therapeutics has resurrected from the haze of history an unappreciated but complementary branch of Ayurveda - Cowpathy . 

For long denied its rightful honour, it’s slowly but surely finding its groove. Cowpathy, in the end, may even foster antipathy towards mainstream ‘pathies’ like allopathy, homoeopathy, naturopathy. Why would I opt for any other when cowpathy is virtually free, more accessible and offers divine salvation to boot through cow care ? 

A cow at home 

And healthy you roam. 

For the sceptics here are a few ‘demonstrated’ curative powers of cowpathy.

*‘If you rub a cow, from the back towards the neck, it helps cure your blood pressure.’ Sadhavi Pragya

*"Even when he was 120 years old, Lord Krishna looked like a 12-year-old because his soap was made from cow dung", says a cowpath 

*"We make pregnant women eat cow dung and urine paste to ensure a normal delivery," chief, Akhil Bharatiya Gau Sewa. 

*“ A concoction, Panchagavya, cured me of cancer “ confirms Sadhavi Pragya. ( for the uninitiated, Panchagavya is a mixture of five (panch) cow (gavya) products: milk, curd, ghee, dung and urine.).  Shankarbhai Vegad, BJP MP, Guj. lends his weight with “I am witness to it. Cow dung and urine are a 100 per cent cure for cancer.” Amit Vaidya, 38, a cancer survivor vouchsafes “I would drink the (cow)urine I collected and would cover myself with gobar twice a day and stand in the sun,”. Soon medical reports showed the cancer receding.

*’cow dung contains Vitamin B that can relieve you from cough and cold. ‘ Vasudev Devnani,ex-education minister, Rajasthan. 

*One lady smeared panchagavya all over her body and in 21 days her psoriasis disappeared ,asserts a Tamil Nadu Agricultural University,TNAU social post. 

*Treatment of AIDS/HIV with panchagavya is magical, “even though the blood tests will be positive, patients will exhibit no symptoms of AIDS and lead a normal healthy life” TINU 

However, the therapy ‘works’ only if the Indian sense of ‘purity’ and ‘pollution’ is not abused . Use products only from the native bovine stock not foreign breeds or hybrids. Otherwise it will be all gobar ganesh. Additionally, take care what the cow is eating through the day. 

“Look at the cows that roam Mumbai’s streets, feeding on plastic. How will their urine be medicinal?”

Holy cow ! Still not convinced ? You must be a cowhead . And  like a cow regurgitate, chew and digest it all over again. Else , in present antediluvian times many will have a cow .
