I mportance Of Gomutra I n Ayurveda With Additional Reference

Of Panchagavya:
Since thousands of years, we worship cow as KAMADHENU, the God who fulfills our desire. We
worship cow as the mother of all entities, which gives all pleasures to everyone. Even when a mother is unable
to feed her baby with milk, the cows milk meets the need. Hence by all such reasons cow is considered as the
mother and also respected her with offerings and poojas. Similarly the products obtained from cow are also
beneficial to all mankind in many ways.
The urine, milk, ghee, curd and dung obtained from cow are beneficial in different ways as food
supplement, medicine, etc. Collectively these 5 products from cow is called as PANCHAGAVYA, which
holds its own importance in spiritual and medicinal aspects. In India, we use panchagavya as such or in single
or in combination with other drugs for medicine and spiritual uses traditionally. Similar to sweet man use milk
of cow from birth to death, hence it is also called asaajanmasaatmaya. But in general the importance is much
given to milk and milk products other than the rest four obtained from cow. When we consider panchagavya,
the reference says:
Gavyam pavitram cha rasayanam cha patthyam cha hrudayam
Balam bhuddhi syaat aayupadam raktavikaara hari
Tridosham hrudrogam vishaapaham syaat.
Which means panchagavyam is as purest as Gangajalam, the greater elixir, the proper diet which is pleasing
to heart, gives mental strength by enhancing intellect, enhancing the quantity and quality of life, and cures the
disorders arising due to intoxicated blood disorders. It balances the tridosha, cures heart related disorders and
best in pacifying the effects of poisons.
Yattwak asti gatam paapam deham tistatti mamke
Praashanaat panchagavyasya dahasagniriva dhanam
Which means from skin to bones whatever sins (diseases) are in my body are destroyed by panchagavya just
as a fire destroys fuel. Similar is the effect of panchagavya in human body.
Hence panchagavya is been given much importance in both medicinal and spiritual aspects. Therefore
similar to milk importance has to be given to other four products also. It has to bring into practice.
In concern with Gomutra the spiritual, medicinal and traditional values are higher. Traditionally,
Gomutra is being sprayed in courtyards and home for its holy purpose. When sprayed, it is said to bestow all
happiness, purity, prosperity, positive health, wealth etc. Cow is considered as dwelling place for all God and
Goddess. Since ancient times people own cow and feed with care for cultural values. They also make use of
cow in getting milk and other products. Further looking in higher level in Hindu dharma cow is pet of majority
of God and Goddess like Lord Shiva, Goddess Parvathy, Lord Vishnu, Lord Krishna, Lord Ragavendra etc to
name a few. Thus feeding and taking care of cow is considered as an auspicious duty in Indian tradition and
spiritual system.
MEDI CI NAL BENEFI TS:
In case of medicinal benefits though all the five products are considered equally important, the use of
Gomutra is highlighted here.
All ancient text books of Ayurveda explain the importance of cows urine in treatment of various
disorders. Ayurveda alone can explain 8 types urine with their properties and uses, among which cows urine is
considered as the best. Astanga Samgraha of vagbhatta quotes:
Mutram Go aja avi mahishi gaja ashwa oustra kharodbhavam|
Pittalam ruksha teekshna ushnam lavanaanurasam katuhu||
Krimi shopha udhara anaaha shoola pandu kaphaanilaan |
Gulma aruchi visha switra kusta arshaamsi jayeet laghu ||
Vireka astaapana alepa swedadishu cha poojitam |
Deepanam paachanam bhedi teshu gomutram uttamam ||(Ast. Sam)
This quotation explores that among 8 urine, namely urine of cow, goat, sheep, buffalo, elephant, horse, camel
and mans urine, the urine of cow is said to be best. (Indication of the word mutra also in texts refers to go
mutra in general. Gomutra should only be collected from a healthy cow. Ayurveda also give lakshnas (sign) of
healthy cow. ) Gomutra is hot in potency, rough/dry in nature with strong penetrative power. Such a quality is
highly necessary to penetrate and spread the medicine deep into the body through all deep and minute channels
and pores of body. Such a quality is also beneficial reaching brain and even minutest to psychic level.
The taste is pungent followed by salty. Gomutra is light and so easily digestible. This induces appetite,
even splits complex substances to lightest or simpler form. Considering all the above said qualities Gomutra is
used in different indications through different modes of preparation of medicaments as in case of purgatives, in
kashaya vasti, as topical applications, in sudation therapy etc are used in case of intestinal worms, edema,
anasarca, ascitis/ organomeaglies, abdominal distensions, various painful conditions, in anemia and other
disorders related to kapha and vata origin. It is also directly indicated in texts the usage in abdominal lumps,
anorexia, intoxication, poisons, leprosy and other skin related disorders, hemorrhoids, fistula etc.
In India, drinking of cows urine has been practiced for thousands of years. One form of cows urine
with popular use now a day is cows urine distillate (Gomutra arka in Ayurveda). A transparent liquid
obtained when cows urine is subjected to the process of distillation. This distillate shows more acceptability
than crude cows urine and also shows all properties equal to crude cows urine. Recent researchers prove that
cows urine distillate acts as a bio-enhancer of antibiotic activity. Thus it is the best example to prove the
efficacy of Gomutra holds its fame in Ayurveda since thousands of years where modern world of research is
being just proving it in new dimension.
The healing properties of cows urine are mentioned in many ancient Hindu texts too. And are
studied by several authors, there are several reports about the importance of Gomutra in prevention of various
diseases caused by microbes and other psychological factors. Microbes are one of the culprits causing disease
in humans, animals and plants. Several bacteria, fungi, viruses, protozoa, helminthes are responsible for
causing millions of infections and deaths every year.
Even though researchers and pharmaceutical industries have produced a number of new anti
microbial drugs, resistance to drugs used as therapeutic agents. Now a days the modern research world make
interest in Ayurveda and its hidden facts along with other traditional medicines using plants, cows urine and
other animal products to observe and make use of anti microbial properties associated with anti-biotics.
Keeping these in mind we the members of traditional science practitioner are very fortunate and
proud to speak on the usages of Gomutra before this modern scientific world. The knowledge on Gomutra is
detailed well in sastras. Being highly recommended by sastras it is considered as holy and safe to use. The
known Ayurveda sastra throws light in Gomutra as natural form of antibiotic and anti microbial and being
named as sanjeevani. Gomutra is highly potent medicine in curing top ranked infectious diseases. It also acts
on kidney and liver in detoxifying them, which are considered as the major organs of purification. What more
is best in purifying the organs of purifications itself Gomutra helps in cleaning the system from toxins and acts
as antidote that protect the body from various types of poisons.
This same magical liquid is used as eco-friendly home disinfectant and natural insecticide. Taking
bath with few amount of Gomutra mixed in warm water not only purifies physical body but also purifies
supreme soul and protects body from being attacked by biological germs and invisible evils. Hence, Gomutra
is compared as pure and sacred as Ganga jala for its pavitram (purity). Therefore Gomutra is sprinkled over
body and head or bathed along with water to destroy the sins and also diseases caused by sins in previous birth
and present birth too as said in classics.

manganese, carbolic acid, silicon, chlorine, magnesium, melci, titric, citric, sucerinic citrates, calcium salts,
enzymes, mineral salts, vitamins like A,B,C,D,E, creatinine, uric acid, hormones, gold acids etc, and most

and there by acts as immunomodulators in increasing immunity if body and build resistance against all minor
to major infectious agents.

compensated by daily intake of Gomutra.
