In medical treatment and musical instruments

Just as in Punyahavachanam, it is said that Panchagavyam cures diseases from the skin to the bone. In Vaidya Sasthra also, it has been so stated and we see that as a medicine, it has a goof effect.

It is to be noted that the allopathic system also supports what is said in Ayurvedha, namely, the milk helps in curing the skin disease of leprosy and that it contains calcium which strengthens the bone. In the Ayurvedhic system, many medicines are to be taken along with milk. Curd, buttermilk, butter and ghee also have curative properties.

The cow is useful even in music also. Leather instruments like mrudangam, drum etc, are made of leather.
