Abstract
The science of natural alternative medicine, Ayurveda (meaning: the ‘knowledge of life’) originated in India. Use of naturally-occurring materials for therapeutic as well as prophylactic purposes is characteristic to the practice of Ayurveda. Gomutra / Cow urine has been elaborately explained in Ayurveda and described in "Sushruta Samhita", "Ashtanga Sangraha" and other Ayurvedic texts as an effective medicinal substance/secretion of animal origin with innumerable therapeutic properties. Bhav- Prakash Nighantu describes gomutra as the best of all types of animal urine (including human) and enumerates its various therapeutic uses. Gomutra is called "Sanjivani" and "Amrita" in Ayurveda. In spite of having so many medicinal properties Gomutra is not used efficiently because of limited access and availability of cow’s urine for regular mass consumption, unpleasant the taste and odor ,stability of gomutra, loss of bioactive component during processing. To Overcome these limitation Gomutra is converted to powder form under extremely low pressure & high temperature of short duration which allows to restore bioactive as present in Gomutra. Comparitive physic-chemical analysis also reveals Bioactive wise superiority of Gomutra powder w.r.t Ark & Ghanavati. By further enrichment with herbs Amala(Embelica officinalis), Harada(Terminalia chebula), Behada (Terminalia balerica); Gomutra Plus capsules has advantages of Synergistic combination of Gomutra powder and Triphala extract; Stabilized, odor-free, concentrated, and potentized formulation of Gomutra; Higher efficacy in small pharmaceutical doses.Though it improves the stability but also preserve bioactive composition of Gomutra at greater extent, unlike to Ark & Ghanavati.
