Drinking Cow Urine May Ward Off Disease But Also Means You Have to Drink Cow Urine

It's a real toss-up.

If you ever find yourself sick in India, you would be well advised to seek out a bottle of Nyquil and not take the “Gomutra Arka” which the locals will try to force down your throat; that is, unless of course, doing shots of cow urine is your thing. No judgement.

Believe it or not, cow whiz is growing increasingly popular among the Indian population, because it is said that regular use can prevent a myriad of diseases, including kidney ailments, skin disease and acidity. Incidentally, drinking anything that comes out the urethra of a porterhouse will get you tarred-and-feathered here in America.

A leading manufacturer of the bladder beverage says that they've sold about 10 liters of it a day ever since knowledge of its healing properties leaked into the city. And just in case you think that gomutra arka is just some primitive witch doctor remedy handed out as a placebo, manufactures say that not only do local doctors prescribe it to their patients, but they consume it as well.

If it’s all the same, we’ll just stick with chicken soup for what ails us – and not the kind that comes from chicken peckers.
