Natural Cure: Shivambu-Kalpa – The Auto-Urine Therapy

The concept of SHIVAMBU-KALPA, or the AUTO-URINE THERAPY is also a branch of the Science of Yoga, as it has been in use for ages by the ‘sadhakas’ or the seekers of Yoga—the Yogis.

It may be considerd as an advance on Nature-cure therapy, though a branch of it.

It is a sad commentary on India’s medical thinking that this highly effective science of treatment, which was prevalent in our country in the early times, as a source of physical and spiritual cure of man, receded to the background with the advance of civilization and had to be revived, or brought back to India, under a different description by its modern protagonists of the West.

And worse still, that even now when this therapy is being researched and progressively used in other countries, like Europe and America, it has evinced no real effort for its research on a regular basis or on national level.

Whatever little credit for its propagation in India, if it is, goes to only a few institutions, like the Bharat Sewak Samaj of Ahmedabad, or at random, to some Nature-cure institutes, like those at Jassidih in Bihar and the Rishi Ashram at Ludhiana in Punjab, or some others at Mumbai and Bangalore, etc., which they are following as a part of the noble cause of medical relief to the needy and the poor of the country.

The main factor, which kept this useful science in neglect, and as close secret only with the yogis, is the use of urine, which began to be abhorred by men of religion, as something unclean and filthy.

Besides this stigma attached to it by the advanced society, the medical science came in-between to discard it as a waste product and of no use to the human body.

But, with the discovery and reappraisal of our country’s old literature on medical and yoga practices and the use of auto-urine on individual level and the personal experiences of its benefits thus gained, the utility and effectiveness of this therapy of auto-urine or Shivambu-kalpa cannot be denied, however much the medical science may disagree with its use, or the society may give it the stigma of unholiness, though, at the same time, accepting a cow’s urine and dung as the holiest of the holy things.
