The residents of Gujarat in India began to defend themselves from coronavirus with cow’s milk, manure and urine. They apply a mixture of animal secretions onto the whole body, waiting until it dry, and then wash up milk. Believers Indians are confident that such procedures will help them avoid infection and strengthen the immune system, reports Reuters.
“We see that even some doctors come to cows. They believe that such therapy will strengthen the immune system and they will be able to treat patients without fear to get infected,” said the junior manager of the pharmaceutical company “Gautam” Manilal Boris, adding that such ” Treatment “helped him get rid of COVID-19 last year.
In Hinduism, the cow is a sacred animal. Locals believe that its livelihoods have therapeutic and antiseptic properties. Therefore, once a week, the Indians attend shelters for cows to increase their immunity. They enter the chill, apply to the body of manure and wait for its drying. At this time, they hug a cow, bow to a sacred animal or are engaged in yoga, and then clean the body with cow milk or poached.

Jayalal explains to local residents that “there are no specific scientific evidence that cow manual or urine increases immunity against COVID-19, it is completely based on faith.”
