Cow urine (Gomutra), a key component of traditional Panchagavya formulations, has been the focus of extensive research for its therapeutic and environmental benefits. Studies reveal its role as an antioxidant, antimicrobial agent, and pest repellent. Patents such as US No. 6410059 (2002) and No. 6896907 (2005) underline its applications in enhancing the efficacy of bioactive compounds and pest control.

Key advancements include:

• Health Applications: Extensive research and clinical trials reveal Gomutra’s efficacy in treating epilepsy, tuberculosis, and chronic wounds. It is a potent immunomodulator, antioxidant, and antimicrobial agent, supporting the body’s natural defences and promoting healing.
• Agricultural Benefits: In farming, Gomutra-based solutions, such as pest repellents and organic fertilisers, enhance soil fertility and crop yield while reducing dependency on chemical pesticides.
• Eco-Friendly Innovations: Researchers have developed Gomutra-based mosquito coils, briquettes, and biomass products, paving the way for sustainable alternatives in industrial manufacturing.

Institutes like NEERI, CIMAP, and IIT Delhi are actively involved in standardising Panchagavya medicines, ensuring consistency and maximising Gomutra’s benefits. This ongoing research signifies a paradigm shift towards natural, sustainable solutions that leverage cow-based products for global impact.
