Effective Treatment By Cow Urine Therapy

Cow urine is said to be very effective in treating oral submucous fibrosis. It has various properties like anti fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-cancer etc. A cow urine distillate fraction, popularly known as ‘ark’, has been identified as a bioenhancer of the activities of commonly used antibiotics, anti- fungal and anti-cancer drugs. Thus it can promote and augment the bioactivity or bioavailability or the uptake of drugs in combination therapy and reduce the dose and duration of treatment. Thus cow urine plays a    beneficial role in treating Submucous fibrosis and enhances the efficacy and potency of therapeutic drugs.

Life Expectancy

Cow urine therapy is itself a lot of hope if we are talking about life expectancy. Any disease either it’s small or in a critical stage, comes with a negative impact on the human body and exists for a number of years, sometimes for a lifetime. Once the disease is recognized, life expectancy is short but not with cow-urine therapy. Our ancient therapy not only relieves the disease but also increases the lifespan of that person without leaving any toxins in his body and this is our ultimate aim.

Reducing Drug Dependency

“Sarve bhavantu sukhinah, Sarve santu niramayah, Sarve bhadrani pashyantu, Maa kaschit dukha bhag-bhavet”, its capacity let all be happy, let all be free from disease, let all see the truth, may no-one experience suffering. By following this proverb, we prefer our society to be like this. Our remedy accomplishes this by way of giving reliable treatment, enhancing life expectancy, and decreasing the drug dependency of affected people. Our remedy has greater benefits and nil risks than any psychological therapies available in this current world.

Reducing Recurrence Chances

In comparison to a wide range of medical practices, we focus on the root cause of the disease and the factors that may increase the chance of disease recurrence, not just the management of the disease. By using this method, we have successfully reduced the recurrence rate and pointed out a new direction for people's lives so that people can live better emotionally and physically.

Causes of Oral Submucous Fibrosis

Oral submucous fibrosis can occur from the following causes -

  • Intake of areca nut

Individuals who chew areca nuts are most at risk of oral submucous fibrosis. Areca nuts are a betel nut found in betel-spices, gutkha, etc, in which main agents such as tannin and alkaloids like escolin, escadean, guvacine, and guarcolin are found. Excessive intake of areca nut causes submucosal tissue to be affected and oral submucous fibrosis develops in a person.

  • Autoimmune disease

A person's immune system usually protects their body against germs such as bacteria and viruses. In some circumstances, the immune system of a person mistakenly starts attacking the body, healthy cells, and tissues of the body which are the result of many autoimmune diseases and cause oral submucous fibrosis.

  • Nutritional deficiencies

Due to the lack of nutrients like Vitamin A, B or C, iron, zinc, etc. in the body, a person may also face the problem of oral submucous fibrosis.

  • Family history

In some cases, a person's family history may cause oral submucous fibrosis. This problem may affect another member of the family.

  • Alcohol abuse

Individuals who consume alcohol excessively may be highly associated with the risk of oral submucous fibrosis. Consuming unlimited amounts of alcohol leads to loss of flexibility of submucous tissues and causes difficulty in opening the mouth.

Prevention from Oral Submucous Fibrosis

A person can protect himself from oral submucous fibrosis by the following efforts -

  • One should take care to maintain the hygiene of his mouth.
  • A person should avoid excessive consumption of alcohol.

Types of Submucous fibrosis (SMF) -

It is a condition that affects the mucous membrane lining of the mouth and throat. It is characterized by the accumulation of fibrous tissue beneath the lining, which can cause stiffness and restricted movement of the mouth and tongue. There are several types of submucous fibrosis, including:

Simple submucous fibrosis: This is the mildest form of SMF, characterized by mild fibrosis of the submucosal tissue, which does not cause any significant functional impairment.

Moderate submucous fibrosis: This form of SMF is characterized by moderate fibrosis of the submucosal tissue, which can cause some functional impairment, such as difficulty in opening the mouth fully.

Advanced submucous fibrosis: This is the most severe form of SMF, characterized by extensive fibrosis of the submucosal tissue, which can cause significant functional impairment, such as difficulty in swallowing and speaking.

Atrophic submucous fibrosis: This form of SMF is characterized by loss of normal tissue structure and function, which can lead to thinning of the mucosal lining and increased risk of infection.

Mixed submucous fibrosis: This is a combination of fibrosis and atrophy, which can lead to a range of functional impairments depending on the severity of each component.

Stages - 

There are different stages of submucous fibrosis, which are typically classified based on the severity of the condition. The stages are as follows:

  1. Stage 1: In this early stage, the fibrosis is mild, and there may be only slight changes in the oral mucosa. The patient may complain of a burning sensation in the mouth or tongue.

  2. Stage 2: In this stage, the fibrosis becomes more apparent, and there is a loss of elasticity in the oral mucosa. The patient may experience difficulty in opening the mouth, and there may be a decrease in the ability to move the tongue.

  3. Stage 3: In this advanced stage, the fibrosis is severe, and there is significant scarring of the oral mucosa. The patient may have a very restricted mouth opening, and there may be a marked decrease in the ability to move the tongue. The patient may also experience pain in the mouth and difficulty in eating and speaking.

 

Complications of Oral Submucous Fibrosis 

A person suffering from oral submucous fibrosis may have to face the following complications -

  • Severe condition of untreated oral submucous fibrosis causes cancer in a person's mouth.
