Ayurveda has established Panchagavya as an effective
treatment for many systemic diseases including serious conditions. Actually
Panchagavya represents milk, urine, dung, ghee and curd obtained from cow and
provides irreplaceable medicinal value in Ayurveda and traditional Indian
clinical practices. The treatment in Ayurveda is called 'cowopathy', which
treats diseases of many systems, including serious conditions, with almost no
side effects.
In Hindu religion, cow is considered sacred and is
worshipped. Cow has been given the status of mother, but not only cow, but also
five things related to cow have special importance in Hindu religion. Mainly
five things obtained from cow are considered essential for religious rituals,
worship and auspicious works. These five things related to cow are called
Panchgavya, which include cow's milk, curd, ghee-butter, cow urine and cow
dung.
In Hindu religion, no auspicious or auspicious work is
accomplished without Panchagavya. From villages to cities, the use of
Panchagavya is given priority in any religious festival, auspicious work,
worship, ritual. Panchgavya is used from home purification to body
purification.
It can help in creation of a healthy population, alternative
source of energy, complete nutritional requirements, poverty alleviation,
pollution free environment, organic farming, as well as by promoting soil
fertility, earthworm production, protecting crops from bacteria Can return to
nature.
In Hindu religion, the tradition of giving Panchamrit to the
groom at the time of marriage is ancient and continues even today. Its
scientific concept is that this mixture is anti-bacterial and increases
immunity. There is a tradition of giving Panchamrit to the groom so that he
remains healthy. However, Panchagavya does not mean the five elements obtained
from any Jersey or foreign cow, rather it is effective only when the milk,
urine, dung, ghee and curd obtained is from a pure indigenous breed of cow.
Many studies indicate that indigenous Indian cows have
special abilities that help them adapt to difficult conditions, including the
ability to digest poor quality feed and resistance to diseases. Sequencing the
genome of indigenous breeds of Indian cow may help in understanding the genetic
differences between them and other breeds, which may prove to be a valuable
resource for future studies and genetic improvement.
However, recent research conducted in our country has shown
unprecedented results regarding the benefits of desi cow and the Panchagavya
obtained from it. The research conducted on Panchamrit of Sahiwal cow at
National Dairy Research Institute i.e. NDRI has revealed surprising results. In
an experiment conducted on cell culture in the laboratory of the Dairy
Chemistry Department, it was found that it increases immunity. It is noteworthy
that in the world of science, in the first phase this investigation is done on
cell culture, in the second phase on rats and in the third phase on large
animals
In the first phase of lab testing, it has been found that it
increases immunity. Efforts are being made at every level to promote the
rearing of Indian Desi and Sahiwal cows. The Government of India is encouraging
many programs for research on indigenous cows. Scientists at the National Dairy
Research Institute are working on Panchagavya and Panchamrit. Panchagavya is a
mixture used in traditional Hindu rituals which is prepared by mixing five
ingredients.
The three direct components are dung, urine and milk. The
two derived products are curd and ghee. The ancient texts Bhel Samhita, Kashyap
Samhita, Charak Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, Mada Nigraha and Rasa Tantra Saar
talk highly about the divinity and importance of Panchagavya in human life. It
is believed that consumption of Panchagavya cures physical as well as mental
disorders. Sahiwal Cow is one of the best dairy breeds in India.
