The Uttar Pradesh government’s ayurvedic pharmacy at Pilibhit in India has proposed to collect, process and sell packaged bottles of cow urine.

Dr Prakash Chandra Saxena, principal and superintendent of Government Ayurveda College and Hospital in Pilibhit, said: “Not just for medicinal purpose, we will promote cow urine as a health-giving drink. We have prepared a plan and will discuss it with Ayurveda department in Lucknow for approval,” reports the Times of India.

He further added: “Drinking 10ml to 20ml cow urine daily will act as a preventive against seasonal diseases, like fever, cough and stomach-related ailments. Daily consumption of cow urine will also help increase people’s immunity. Our aim is to make cow urine easily available to common public.”

“At a later stage, we may plan to prepare medicines using cow urine for other diseases, including cancer and skin-related problems. As ayurvedic medicines have no side-effects, its demand is increasing in the country,” said Dr Naresh Chandra Gangwar, in-charge of the pharmacy.

In July 2017, the centre set up a 19-member panel, including three members linked to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP), to carry out, according to an inter-departmental circular and members of the panel, scientifically validated research on cow derivatives including urine, and their benefits.

The department of science and technology, department of bio-technology, and the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) of the Ministry of Science and Technology in collaboration with IIT-Delhi initiated the national program called Scientific Validation and Research on Panchagavya (SVAROP).

The Adityanath government has also cleared setting up 1000-capacity gaushalas (cow-shelters) in seven districts of the state and 16 urban locations in the first phase of the project.

A committee under the district collector will maintain new cow shelters with help of NGOs and public.

UP bhogis have completely killed off the science of ayurvedam. Shameless. This is what happens when you think that everything ancient has to do with religion and thus are axioms.

Nothing to worry. There are still places in India that continues to evolve ayurvedam as it was intended.

I would respect the science behind the curative properties if there are any. But if you blindly believe anything and everything without proper research smacks of quackery.

If u are in an island by yourself and a cow by all means do what ever you can to survive (except for having sex with the cow) but once you are in modern society their are many other civilized option you can take.

Bhakts are going to use cow urine for a litmus test to prove desh bhakti if you don't drink cow urine you are anti-national. 90% of Indian will lose their citizenship.
