After Morarji Desai, Doctors in Varanasi Prescribe The Yellow Elixir: Urine

Former Indian PM, Morarji Desai, quite enjoyed his daily quirky practice of drinking his own urine. Now taking a leaf from his book, certain doctors in Varanasi claim that urine (a cow’s, not one’s own) treatment can work wonders – besides curing several other disease, it can lower blood-sugar levels, cure diabetes and is also helpful for cancer patients. So are you game for the yellow elixir now?

In 2008, a study by scientists in Bangalore found that cow urine has anti-diabetic properties.

"Cow urine has properties that are good for the brain, the heart, the respiratory system, spinal cord and bones. But it is best for stomach related problems and for those suffering from constipation. Recently, we found that a mixture of cow urine, tulsi and neem can help cancer patients also," said Amit Yadav, a doctor.

The analgesic properties of cow urine which act as pain killers are also being tested.

The cow urine contains substances present in human body. Hence, it is believed that consumption of cow urine maintains the balance of minerals in the human body.
