Guest guest Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 Dear mother Hrimati prabhu, Hare Krsna! Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. I'm just wondering why you (or anyone really) would use a petroleum-based emollient on the teats of your cow, when any such ointments that we rub on our or animals skins, is obviously absorbed into that skin. Could you please explain? Thank you. Hoping you are well I remain, your servant, Ganesa dasa "I am a servant of Sri Caitanya, a servant of Sri Caitanya.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Dear Ganesa Prabhu, Please accept my humble obeisances. _/\o_ All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Thank you very much for your inquiry and concern. This particular bag balm has been the only stuff so far that is preventing my cow from getting cracked nipples (especially in the cold season). Here in Mayapur the local milkmen use mustard oil as a lubricant for milking. My cow has very tiny nipples (ask Balabhadra Prabhu). It is very hard to milk them without any lubricant. As mustard oil is liquid, naturally the oil sometimes also drips into the milk bucked during the milking posses, which alters the taste of the milk :-).Besides that, the oil does not do anything for the cracks. The bag balm however, not only makes an excellent lubricant but also cures and prevents the cracks. For that reason I like the balm so much. It is made specifically for the purpose. Last year Balabhadra Prabhu brought me some and it is finished now. So, that is why I would like to request anyone, if they are coming to Mayapur to please be so kind and bring a can (or two, or three) if they please. Hare Krishna! Hoping this will meet you in the very best of health by the grace of Krishna.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Dear Hrimati prabhu pamho agtSP You can use ghee. We use ghee all the time on the cow's teats. If you need it be more medicinal for sore teats, crush some neem leaves or marigold flowers , boil in the gheee and strain. There is an ayuredic medicine called mahatiktak ghrut which is excellent for sores etc, Its meant for humans and its costly. Its ghee and herbs, namely mahatiktak which is a good herb for skin problems. Its good for tender places like the udder. But ghee should be all you need ys labangalatika there is an ayurvedic - Hrimati (dd) ACBSP (Mayapur - IN) <Hrimati.ACBSP (AT) pamho (DOT) net> Cc: Cow (Protection and related issues) <Cow (AT) pamho (DOT) net> Tuesday, February 10, 2004 10:27 AM Bag balm > Dear Ganesa Prabhu, > Please accept my humble obeisances. _/\o_ > All glories to Srila Prabhupada! > > Thank you very much for your inquiry and concern. > This particular bag balm has been the only stuff so far that is preventing > my cow from getting cracked nipples (especially in the cold season). > > Here in Mayapur the local milkmen use mustard oil as a lubricant for > milking. > My cow has very tiny nipples (ask Balabhadra Prabhu).

I once found some recipes on the internet for moisturing creams using bees wax, oil and herbs. I dont have them right now but they seemed easy to make, it would be worthwhile to look something like that up, if you have time. The beeswax makes the consistency a little less greasy it seems. I have found fantastic results using plain yoghurt as a treatment for burns. It immediately cools the burn, and moisturises it as well. But I guess probably not appropriate for your problem with the udder. YS Samba das Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
