People come up with most unusual ways of using cow

Those who see the cow as an animal raised primarily for its milk and meat are totally wrong.

No doubt about it, we should give the cow its due – it provides milk for kids, cheese for the French and steaks for the British. The ancient Egyptians worshipped the cow as a goddess. Nowadays the Hindus worship the cow too. There is no way the Hindus will ever hurt the cow. People endowed with a bit of astuteness can find most unusual ways of using the cow. Let take a look at some of the cases reported recently.

A barber from Columbia is probably the most ingenious barber of all, at least when it comes to an unorthodox approach to his trade. It is a commonplace that human hair tends to fall out from the right place while growing in the wrong ones. The barber named Ancizar Duque reportedly invented a new cure for baldness. So far the barber has already helped 200 customers grow their hair back. The barber proudly displays dramatic before and after photos of his happy customers. How did he manage to cure baldness of those men? He got a cow to lick their heads.

The cow is called Simona, and her services are much sought after by those who try to get control of their ever-widening bald spots and ever-thinning hair. Simona provides offbeat scalp treatment at a reasonable price: the full course of 12 sessions costs $55, the cost of molasses inclusive. The molasses is applied to a bald spot, which is then sprinkled with oats for the benefit of Simona. The cow’s raspy tongue seems to work well in reviving hair growth on the heads of her customers. More importantly, the method is 100% natural; it does not involve the use of any fake “wonder drugs” or questionable medical procedures.

Cow’s urine seems to sell like hot cakes in India. Bottled urine with a label that reads The Gift from the Cow costs 30 rupees a pop. The remedy is said to be capable of treating patients with diseases of the liver and those affected with obesity and skin problems. It is reportedly also used for beating cancer. Tablets and ointments made from vaporized cow’s urine are also available but hard to get because demand often exceeds supply. In India’s state of Gujarat alone, workers collect the precious medication from animals kept in more then 300 pens.
