There is no evidence to suggest that cow urine and dung have any properties to boost immunity or protect against COVID-19.
In May 2021, Reuters reported that some individuals in Gujarat have begun visiting cow sheds to cover themselves in cow dung and urine to boost their COVID-19 immunity or aid their recovery. The men hug or honor the cows at the shelter while waiting for the excrement to dry, and they perform yoga to keep their energy levels up. But, cow dung and urine are not scientifically effective in the treatment of COVID-19.
Dr. JA Jayalal, national president at the Indian Medical Association, said, "There is no concrete scientific evidence that cow dung or urine work to boost immunity against COVID-19, it is based entirely on belief."
There are also concerns that the practice, which included people assembling in groups, may have contributed to the virus's spread.
Even though there is no documented link between COVID-19 and bovine species, germs such as E. coli are widespread in cow feces. Doctors and professionals have strongly advised against using a substitute or other COVID-19 remedies since they can give a false sense of security and exacerbate health problems.
The most effective measures to defend against COVID-19 include frequent hand washing, maintaining a safe social distance, and wearing a mask. COVID-19 vaccinations are being used all over the world to drastically reduce the risk of severe infection and death by more than 90 percent after both doses.
The COVID-19 pandemic has given rise to a lot of potentially dangerous misinformation. For reliable advice on COVID-19, including symptoms, prevention, and available treatment, please refer to the World Health Organization or your national healthcare authority.
