Cow's urine is one of the Panchgavya Amrit (Five Cow Nectar). "Panchgavya" is said to cure major diseases and is made up of five cow products, viz. milk, curd, ghee, urine and dung. It plays a major part in Hindu practices and is used in Yajur Veda for Ark as a medicine. Many people use Panchgavya in some rituals (Puja) and for medicinal purposes.

Uses

The use of cow urine has been believed for a long time in India. Gaw-mutra (cow's urine) has been described as a substance with innumerable therapeutic values in Sushruta Samhita (by Sushruta) and Ashtanga Sangraha ^[1] (by Vagbhata (Ayurveda)).

Cow urine therapy is thought to be capable of curing several curable and allegedly incurable diseases ^[2]^[3] and cow-based products have multi-purpose benefits ^[4].

India's leading Hindu cultural group has developed Gau Jal or Cow Water at its research centre in the Indian holy city of Haridwar on the River Ganges, and hopes it will be marketed as a 'healthy' alternative to Coke and Pepsi.^[5]

Patents

(US Patent #6410059): Cow urine distillate in a specific amount is scientifically proven ^[6] to enhance the anti-microbial effects of antibiotic and antifungal agents. (US patent# 6410059 has been granted to Indian scientists for the invention on June 25, 2002) ^[6]

The invention relates to a novel use of cow urine as activity enhancer and availability facilitator for bioactive molecules, including anti-infective agents. The invention has direct implication in drastically reducing the dosage of antibiotics, drugs and anti-infective agent while increasing the efficiency of absorption of bio-active molecules, thereby reducing the cost of treatment and also the side-effects due to toxicity.

(US Patents #6896907, #7235262): Use of bioactive fraction from cow urine distillate (`go-mutra`) as a bio-enhancer of anti-infective, anti-cancer agents and nutrients.^[7]

The invention relates to a novel pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of bio-active fraction from cow urine distillate as a bioavailability facilitator and pharmaceutically acceptable additives selected from anticancer compounds, antibiotics, drugs, therapeutic and nutraceutic agents, ions and similar molecules which are targeted to the living systems.

(US Patent # 7297659): Synergistic fermented plant growth promoting bio-control composition – produced from cows urine, neem, and garlic.^[8]

The present invention relates to a synergistic composition useful as plant and soil health enhancer, comprising urine, neem and garlic, individually or in all possible combinations, with the treatment showing it has the ability to stimulate accumulation of nutrients in the plant biomass, proliferation of plant growth promoting, phosphate solubilizing, abiotic stress tolerant and antagonists towards plant pathogenic fungi, control phytopathogenic fungi in the rhizosphere of plants, and enhances the total phenolic contents of the plants.

(European Patent EP1423011/ US Patent #7097830/ International patent #WO/2003/020038): Synergistic bioinoculant composition comprising Bacterial Strains in Milk of Sahiwal cow and method of producing said composition.^[9]^[10]

The invention relates to a synergistic composition useful as bioinoculant, said composition comprising bacterial strains of accession Nos. NRRL B-30486, NRRL B-30487, and NRRL-B 30488, individually or in all possible combinations, and optionally carrier, with each of the strains showing plant promotery activity, phytopathogenic fungi controlling activity, abiotic stress conditions tolerating capability, phosphate solubilization capability under abiotic stress conditions; further, a method of producing said composition thereof, and in addition, a method of isolating said bacterial strains from milk of the cow 'Sahiwal'.
