Does the thought of drinking cow's urine make you cringe? If it does, then you'd better think again, because this yellow liquid has the power to restore life and health like nothing else can.
Urine therapy is catching on like fire and though it may seem particularly unpalatable to some, many are turning to it for succor from various health-related problems, including terminal illness.
Today, practicing medical doctors are themselves acknowledging the power of this practice and now even recommending it. In a country like India, where the cost of mainstream healthcare is unaffordable to many, alternative therapies such as this are fast becoming accepted, maybe even popular. A case in point is Varanasi doctors who are now saying that drinking cow’s urine has tremendous healing potential. This yellow liquid, dubbed liquid gold, is capable of curing a range of diseases from diabetes to cancer, and has tremendous antiseptic properties to boot.
According to healthcare practitioners, cow’s urine has the power to rejuvenate the brain, the heart, the respiratory system and the skeletal system. When mixed with tulsi (Indian Holy Basil, Ocimum Sanctum) and neem, it can supposedly even aid the cure of cancer.
This yellow liquid is also capable of curing constipation and other ailments of the digestive tract and protecting the liver, pancreas and other vital organs of the body. Researchers say that the palliative properties of cow’s urine are now being tested.
Cow’s urine is known to contain a large amount of minerals compatible with and vital to the human body and hence it can help in maintaining the mineral balance of the body.
Several tests were conducted on lab rats in India, to prove the authenticity of these claims.
In a country that has spawned several alternative therapies, cow’s-urine therapy comes as no surprise. It is providing hope for millions and is a cheap and freely available alternative to expensive healthcare that is unrealistic to most anyway.
