Beneficial Use of Vedic Indian Cow Dung

At the cow's name our western-influenced intellectuals sneer. The same scholars sneered at yoga in the first place. Doing pranayama at social events is now a trend. According to Vedas, cow essentially supplies five products that are considered as Panchgavya that have been used by humans for having several functional and therapeutic properties. The word Panchgavya comes from Sanskrit, meaning "Panch" means "five" and "gavya" means cow products. The Panchgavya is a five-product blend. Which are: (i) Godugdha (cow-milk); (ii) Goghruta (ghee) (also classified as clarified butter); (iii) Gomutra (urine); (iv) Gomaya (dung)-deemed important as Gomutra; and (v) Dahi (curd). Three of these products (i.e. Godugdha, Gomutra, and Gomaya) are produced directly from the cow whereas two products (Goghruta and Dahi) are extracted from milk. Every Panchgavya product has its unique characteristics and qualities and these are widely used in health, agriculture and other fields. These have been commonly used in the treatment of different diseases since ancient times, since they have high medicinal qualities.
