Patna. A detailed report on Panchagavya treatment has been published in the famous religious magazine ‘Kalyan’ of Geeta Press, in which home remedies for dozens of diseases based on cow’s milk, ghee, curd, cow urine and cow milk have been described. In the magazine, the cow has been called ‘mother’ and ‘chemistry’. Panchagavya is an ancient medical system of Ayurveda which is accessible and free from disease. However, while on one hand it has been described as a panacea for diseases, on the other hand health experts have called for caution and medical advice. Let us know how Panchagavya is a panacea as a home remedy.
Panchagavya said to be a panacea for diseases
It is written in the report that putting cow’s ghee in the nose improves memory, stops runny nose, stops snoring and provides relief from headache. Desi cow’s milk and ghee does not increase cholesterol, but increases good cholesterol. Milk has been said to be the main source for the supply of protein and calcium. Cow’s ghee is considered to enhance celibacy and body’s radiance.
Remedies for memory power and arthritis
There are many specific remedies of Panchagavya. For example, drinking cow’s milk mixed with ghee and myrobalan in the evening cures arthritis. Drinking gooseberry jam or dates boiled in milk increases memory power and removes fear and anxiety. Mixing saffron in cow’s milk and smelling it provides relief from migraine. Taking Gorakhmundi root or powder with milk and ghee increases physical strength and delays old age.
Remedy for eye, ear and digestive diseases also
According to the report, it is claimed that applying cow’s ghee in the eyes can cure eye diseases, putting cow urine in the ears can cure ear diseases and drinking Triphala powder mixed with milk can cure constipation. Applying cow ghee mixed with sulfur, camphor, amla etc. is said to cure skin problems like itching. A mixture of cow dung ash, corn and alum has been suggested for cleaning.
Heed the experts’ advice
Ayurveda expert Dr. Rameshwar Sharma said, “Panchgavya therapy is a part of Ayurveda and many remedies are scientifically proven, but every person’s nature is different. Use without doctor’s advice cannot be completely safe. Modern doctors have called it a supplementary treatment and not the main treatment. This report has been published in the special issue of Kalyan Patrika which reaches millions of readers. Amidst the increasing trend towards Panchgavya, such publications are keeping the traditional knowledge alive.
