*Writing on the subject of bagged milk and our health, I am deliberately writing as I am constantly asked.*
*The milk that comes to your home is mostly bagged milk of a particular brand. In short; This milk is homogenized and pasteurized. Pasteurization involves heating milk to high temperatures; So that the bacteria in it will die and the milk will last longer. At present, ultra-pasteurization is the most commonly used method for this. It heats milk to temperatures as high as 280ยฐF for as little as 5 seconds. As bacteria die at this temperature, important vitamins and other elements are also destroyed. (mainly B and C vitamins)*

*Though this thing is useful for the economy of the big dairies created to meet the demand of milk on a large scale, it is not beneficial for our health. Moreover, such milk is often found in higher levels of painkillers, antibiotics and hormones such as oxytocin, which are given to increase milk supply. Research also suggests that this excessive amount of hormones is the main reason for the complaints of girls ‘coming of age’ before their proper age these days.*
*Also the most important point is; Bagged milk labeled as ‘cow’, although we may pretend to drink it, is from a ‘cow-like’ animal such as Jersey or Holstein; Not of ‘cows’!!*

*Experts like Dr. Cowan Wrights in America clearly say; “Our issue in America is that we have the wrong cows,” these wrong cows are jerseys or similar animals.*
*What is the solution?*
*Does it seem impossible to get milk from local cows? Not at all. is easily possible. Today there are cowsheds of indigenous cows. Cow milk of various breeds, from Dangi to Gir, is easily available today with a little searching. In places like Dombivli, my own home gets milk from such a cowshed every day. Where Goshalas are not available, the local people should unite and try to do so.*

* Goshalas for indigenous cows should be established in villages and towns. As most of the people who keep such cows do not see it as a mere business, the cows are fed in a good environment with good care of the cow, proper provision of food and water. This has an effect on their milk. But seeing the cowshed itself from where you are getting milk; Make sure. If local cow’s milk is not available, buffalo’s milk will also work. But again the source must be reliable. Otherwise again the issue of hormones and antibiotics applies here too.*

*Having a good diet is essential to stay healthy. That’s why you need to check whether what you are eating is of good quality or not. The milk and ghee of indigenous cows is the best ‘tonic’ according to Ayurveda; It should be used in daily diet. On the other hand it is also important to note that; Utsoot should not use something like cow urine on a daily basis. In such cases one should consult an Ayurvedic physician with a government recognized degree without consulting any other inexperienced and self-proclaimed expert.*
