Magic leaves : Solution for lactating problem in cattle

I got to tell this.

Recently one of our buffaloes who delivered its first calf was not able to lactate the calf. The calf was not able drink milk even after sucking for 10-20 minutes. When we consulted the local veterinary doctors they recommended a banned oxytocin injection. We had to use this injection for couple of days as we din’t have any choice.

Here is the interesting part. Heard about farmer in our neighboring village who has remedy for this when thinking of a solution for this problem. I went to him and told him the problem and he asked me to come and collect the medicine in the evening.

When I went to collect the medicine I was expecting some auyurvedic kind of medicine but to my surprise he gave me a hand full of crushed leaves and asked me to soak those leaves in curd and feed it in 3 equal doses. That moment I din’t belive it but feed that. To my surprise the problem was addressed in a day.

I went and asked him if he can tell me what those leaves are but was not ready to share. I told him that needs to be passed to the next generations but he was not ready to share.


Lets see I will keep trying to get that from him and document that somewhere so that we don’t loose such simple and great things our forefathers had.
