In an instance of quadriparesis induced motor impairment, Ayurvedic therapy was planned and the outcome was assessed. A 55-year-old female patient had fallen on back and suffered anterior compression of L2 vertebra along with motor dysfunction. The patient came for Ayurvedic treatments because she could not get significant improvement by mainstream medical treatments that she took for several months. External and internal herbal treatments, as well as physiotherapy, were used to treat the patient. Motor function assessment was used to track the treatment's success. Results: The treatment was found effective as the motor function improved without any side effects or complications. It could be concluded that this treatment protocol could be used for management of spinal fractures. Also, these observations could form the basis for future clinical trial.

Gomutra is one of the constituents of “Panchgavya”. The use of “Panchgavya” dates back to 2nd and 3rdcenturies. Gomutra is a key component of Panchgavya chikitsa. Its importance and usage has been noted in several Ayurvedic literatures for the treatment of shool (colic), akshi-mukharoga (disorders of eye and mouth), kilaas (vitiligo), kasa (cough), shwas (respiratory disorders), kamala (jaundice), pandu (anaemia), etc. This narrative review was designed to explore the research done on gomutra.The data from every study on gomutra was collected in this review. On browsing the various databases, 4 analytical studies, 15 animal studies, and 7 clinical studies were found. In this review, gomutra was found to have multifaceted use in various disorders. The properties of gomutra are such that it could be used in a versatile manner. It was also observed that the number of clinical studies were very less. Hence, there was a need to conduct clinical studies for confirmation of the results obtained in analytical and preclinical studies. Additionally, over the last few years, the Cow Urine treatment and Study Center in Indore has accomplished extensive research in this field. However, public vigilance and acceptance is intended to promote the importance and wide applications of gomutra and to uplift people's health and lifestyles.
