design, fabricate and performance analysis of the passive solar still for the cow urine distillation. It is well known fact that the cow urine has huge number of medicinal values, for the purpose of distillation of cow urine the use of solar still and effect of different performance parameter is illustrated. A single slope passive solar still is designed with absorber plate dimension of 0.8 m2with 18.520 of tilt angle. The analysis of effect of different performance parameter such as water depth, wind velocity and solar radiation on the yield is experimented. Key Words: Cow urine, solar still, distillation, Ayurveda, cow urine therapy, anti-toxic, detoxifying, cow urine distillation using solar still.
1. INTRODUCTION Diseases brought on by poisons are eliminated by cow urine. Cow urine can be used to disinfect a variety of hazardous compounds. The abundance of minerals like copper, gold, salts, and others found in cow urine helps the body fight off sickness. By enhancing the body's resilience to illnesses, cow urine promotes resistance in humans. This makes it antitoxic.[2]

"Matrah Sarva Bhutanam, Gavah Sarv Sukh Prada" refers to the cow, who represents Kamdhenu (one who can comprehensive all wishes of mankind), as the source of all happiness. Meaning: "Cow, the mother of all living things, gives everybody endless pleasures."

These aspects are well described in the holy scriptures such as Charak Samhita, the Atharva Veda, Rajni Ghuntu, Amritasagar, Vridhabhagabhatt, Bhavprakash, and Sushrut Samhita.

The Kshar Guna (alkaline property) prevents it from raising Vata. It elevates Pitta while bringing down Vata and Kapha. Cow urine is described as Madhur rasa (sweet) in the Charak Samhita Sutra, which in some cases relieves dosas. Gomutra is described as being both Katu rasa and Lavanaanurasa in the Astang Samgraha sutra. Pitta is heightened by ushnavirya and rakshaguna. Compared to other animal urine, it is the best.[3]
