Medicines made of cow feces and urine can keep us healthy, according to the researchers of Ahmedabad Research Center. It is supposed that the mixture of bovine excreta with medicinal herbs can cure diseases ranging from cancer to bad breath.

"God resides in cow dung. These formulas are not new. They are contained in ancient Hindu holy texts. We are just making them with a scientific approach", said Kesari Gumat, a scientist at the Ahmedabad Research Center.

The excrement of the cow is collected and spread on the ground to dry in the sun and the visitors are asked to walk bare footed across the field of feces.

"Walking on fresh cow dung is very healthy. It kills all the germs and bacteria and heals wounds. And dry cow dung is a great scrub to get rid of dead skin and improve blood circulation", said Kesari Gumat.

Cow has been embraced for holy purpose in India till date, but now the scientists of the Ahmedabad lab are trying to push it to a new level.

Hindu nationalist groups have approved the products and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, has launched its own urine-based soft drink last year as a healthy substitute to Coke and Pepsi.
