Are you taking Ayurvedic medicine or is it Cow Urine

Uttar Pradesh, Feb 04: As Uttar Pradesh government is known for its cow politics and making cow a major issue in everything it does, it is coming up with new ideas to promote cow.

Firstly, the government has made a proposal to clean floors with cow urine by making a cleaner out of urine and now they have decided to give cow urine as medicine.

According to the new proposal, eight medicines can be made using cow urine.

"The ayurveda department has prepared eight medicines using 'gau mutra' which can prove to be useful in case of liver ailments, joint pain and immunity deficiency," the department's director Dr RR Chaudhary said.

"The department, which has two pharmacies (in Lucknow and Pilibhit) along with other private units, is preparing ayurvedic medicines using cow urine, cow milk and ghee," he said.

There are eight ayurvedic medical colleges in the state in Banda, Jhansi, Muzaffarnagar, Allahabad, Varanasi, Bareilly, Lucknow and Pilibhit.

"In these medical colleges, degree course in ayurvedic medicine is imparted. Along with this, in these medical colleges, everyday thousands of patients come for treatment."
