All the products – Milk, curd, ghee, Mutra and Gomaya- from Indian breed cows have medicinal and curative properties and have been the basis for Panchagavya system of Ayurvedic medicines. This system has been in use for several centuries but has been lost in the last several decades in view of the importance given to Allopathy. The general apathy towards the cow also contributed to the limited use of Panchagavya medicines.

Of late there has been a revival of interest in this system since allopathic medicines have several and severe side effects .They are also very costly and beyond the reach of large sections of society.

Panchagavya medicines are highly effective and have no side effects.

Cow based medicines are available for several of current day diseases including cancer. Some of these have received patents in USA.

Panchagavyam - Gavyam means related to cows. Panchagavyam is made from five items from the cow- milk, curd, ghee, gomaya and gomutram. The main use of Panchagavyam is not the external cleanliness it brings in but the internal cleansing it does.

Panchagavyam is the only item in the world which can extinguish our purva karmas. All our difficulties are due to the effect of the sins committed in earlier births and such is the divinity and greatness of the cow that even our karmas get burnt like a dry log of wood that catches fire. Both our external and internal diseases are cured by consuming Panchagavyam. Panchagavyam acts from the skin to the bones and the mantra recited while consuming Panchagavya states.

Yadh twak- asthi gadham Paapam Dehae thishtathi maamake

Praachanam Panchagavyasya Dhahadhvagnirivaendhanam

(Let the Panchagavyam burn my sins like how firewood is burnt by fire)

There is no medicine in the world like Panchagavyam .
