Gorochan

 

Gorochan Ke Prayog means the use of Gorochan. Gorochan is animal part

collected from the head of cow. Gorochan is well known animal part in

Chhattisgarh. The natives and traditional healers consider it very

useful. The healers informed that Gorochan is not present in every

cow. There are many symptoms by which the healers identify the cow

having Gorochan in its head.

 

Although in general the colour of Gorochan is yellow but during the

surveys I have seen yellow Gorochan with pinkish and blackish spots.

It is also known as Gopitta as it is considered as gall bladder of

cow. When it is collected from cow's body its appearance resembles to

the Mom (Wax) but very soon it becomes very hard.

 

In the name of Gorochan, many similar products are available in herb

shops but the traditional healers easily identity the potential

Gorochan from their specific traditional methods.

 

The natives engaged in Tantra activities are having special

importance to Gorochan. It is considered as a sign of good luck and

fortune. The rich natives are advised by them to keep it in their

cash lockers.

 

For the traditional healers of Chhattisgarh, Gorochan is a source of

valuable medicine. They use it both internally as well as externally

in treatment of many common diseases.

 

The traditional healers of Chhattisgarh Plains recommend the use of

Gorochan as beauty product. They advise the natives to apply Gorochan

in form of paste all over body. After drying it is washed. According

to the traditional healers its regular use improves the complexion of

human body and gives new life to the skin. It is also considered

useful for black spots.

 

As Gorochan is costly product, the natives use it once a month for

this purpose. The healers have deep faith in this use. They have

acquired this knowledge from their ancestors and practicing it

sincerely without any modification. This use is in reference

literatures related to different systems of medicine in India. This

is a matter of proud that this traditional use is still in practice

in Chhattisgarh.
