THE CONTRIBUTION OF COW TO GOOD HEALTH AND MEDICINE
COW MEDICINE
The Pandava Sahadev, Madri's son was an expert in the science of the Cow. Cow's milk, curds, butter, buttermilk, ghee, dung etc. are very useful in treating maladies or in improving good health.
Placing cotton swabs soaked in milk with Alum powder sprinkled on them can soothe burning eyes.
In cases of acidity, seven tolas of milk should be boiled with about a half to one tola of dry ginger until it is almost solid and that cake should be mixed with sugar. A tablet of this cake taken at bedtime, without water removes acidity.
In cases of Heart or Chest problems, drinking milk with about 10 – 15 drops of Bhilamal oil added helps.
In cases of anaemia, tuberculosis and dysentery drinking milk boiled in iron vessels for seven days helps.
Drinking milk diluted with water helps in relieving the problem of bloating stomach due to block in urination.
Severe headaches can be treated with application of ginger paste in milk applied through cotton swabs and left for about eight hours.
Taking curds mixed with sugar removes the problems of acidity, burning, thirst and blood impurities.
Curds mixed with jaggery improve semen production and removes the problem of flatulence.
In cases of internal injuries and swelling and severe burning, curds sieved through cloth to remove all water will cure all pain.
