Cow Urine Therapy- To Cure All Diseases


Cow Urine TherapyCow has been equated to mother in the Indian tradition. That's not without any reason. As the biological mother nurtures her child by feeding her milk, cow too feeds her milk to one and all. Just like a mother's milk, cow's milk is also considered to be the nectar of life. Not only milk, even cow urine is very beneficial for overall health of human beings. The original scriptures of Ayurveda consider cow urine to be the elixir of life. Perhaps that is why, cow urine is an important part of many Indian rituals where it is taken as holy drink.

Why Cow Urine?
It is a very obvious question- why cow urine is so beneficial for health? The laboratory analysis of cow urine shows that it contains nitrogen, sulphur, phosphate, sodium, manganese, carbolic acid, iron, silicon, chlorine, magnesium, melci, citric, titric, succenic, calcium salts, Vitamin A, B, C, D, E, minerals, lactose, enzymes, creatinine, hormones and gold acids- all needed in smaller amounts by the human body to balance the “tridosha”- vata, pitta and Kapha. Our body contains many micronutrients that give us strength for life. Whenever we urinate, these micronutrients are flushed out of our body. Cow urine meets the deficiency of these micronutrients in the body. It maintains the balance of these substances in our body and cures even the so called incurable diseases.

What Diseases are Cured by Cow Urine?
Cow urine is basically an excellent germicide that kills a variety of germs. Therefore, all the diseases that are caused by germs are destroyed through cow urine therapy. And if it is taken on a daily basis, it improves immunity in such a way that resists almost every disease. Some of the diseases that are proven to be cured by cow urine include:
