Panchgavya: A Holistic Approach to Health, Agriculture, and Environmental Sustainability

Abstract

Panchgavya, a traditional formulation derived from five cow-based products—milk, urine, dung, ghee, and curd—holds immense therapeutic and agricultural significance in Ayurveda and modern holistic science. This paper explores the multifaceted benefits of Panchgavya in enhancing human and animal immunity, combating chronic diseases, enriching soil fertility, and promoting sustainable farming. Supported by ancient scriptures and contemporary research, Panchgavya offers a promising alternative to synthetic drugs and fertilizers. However, there is a need for scientific validation to integrate this ancient wisdom into mainstream health and agricultural systems.
