Viral Video: IIT Madras Director Says Cow Urine Anti-Bacterial, Has Digestive Benefits Karti Chidambaram Reacts
Addressing an event at a Go Samrakshana Sala on the day of Maatu Pongal in Chennai of Tamil Nadu, the IIT-Madras director narrated an anecdote from the life of a sanyasi and said the ascetic, when he had high fever, consumed gomutra and he was cured.
The IIT-Madras director then goes on to say that gomiyam (cow urine or gomutra ) has,“anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and digestive properties.” He claimed that cow urine is beneficial as a medicine for conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome and advocated for recognizing its“medicinal value.”
Reacting to the viral video of IIT-Madras director favouring cow urine, Karti Chidambaram said,“Peddling pseudoscience by @iitmadras Director is most unbecoming @IMAIndiaOrg.” Also Read | Madhya Pradesh BJP leader urges garba participants to sip 'gaumutra' before entering pandals during Navratri, sparks row
