Initiative aims to promote traditional medicine, boost rural economy, and revive cow-based healthcare practices

Lucknow:
In a significant push to promote traditional Indian medicine, the Uttar Pradesh government has announced a new initiative to manufacture Ayurvedic formulations using ‘panchgavya’, an organic blend of five cow-derived substances—milk, curd, ghee, urine, and dung.

As per a statement released on Monday, the state will integrate panchgavya-based products such as toothpastes, ointments, and medicinal formulations into the mainstream Ayurvedic medicine system. These products will be scientifically developed and mass-produced to treat 19 health conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, asthma, sinusitis, anaemia, and skin disorders.

Scientific Backing with AYUSH Collaboration

Dr. Anurag Srivastava, Officer on Special Duty at the UP Gauseva Commission, stated that the medicines will be developed scientifically with the support of the AYUSH Department to ensure efficacy and acceptance within the broader healthcare framework.

“Efforts are being made to prepare panchgavya-based medicines using modern research methodologies, ensuring they are effective and trusted by both practitioners and patients,” Dr. Srivastava said, according to PTI.

Employment, Rural Development, and Cultural Revival

Beyond healthcare, the initiative has multi-dimensional goals:

  • Employment generation through Ayurvedic product manufacturing
  • Revival of cow shelters and increased demand for cow-based resources
  • Stimulating rural economies by tapping into traditional knowledge
  • Cultural preservation by reintroducing ancient practices in modern settings

The scheme is expected to boost the relevance of cow shelters (gaushalas), linking them directly to healthcare innovation and sustainable economic models.

Part of Larger Health Initiatives

This announcement aligns with the UP government’s broader public health efforts, including the Special Communicable Disease Control Campaign, Dastak Abhiyan, and Stop Diarrhoea Campaign, aimed at combating monsoon-related diseases.
