Goat Milk

Goat's Milk

Gandhiji used Goat milk. So started their followers. He would carry a goat with him, so started their followers. Good habit or bad, I can't comment. But you all must be knowing Goat's milk saved Gandhiji's life.

He had pleurisy, and he was advised milk.
Any milk could have saved his life but he had pledged that he won't drink milk. And as he hadn't thought of goat regarding milk he was made to drink Goat's milk.

And Goat became an animal of everyone's interest. Still I wonder how it didn't become our national animal. People in that time accepted Goat because of Gandhiji, not because of its qualities. Even not we don't know it.

Goat drinks very less water. They do a lot of exercises but not like gym workout. They roam a lot, they run a lot. They don't eat any grass. They eat herbs and leaves of plants. Whatever they eat most of them are bitter and spicy. Because of this they are healthy, fast in action and quick in reflexes.

Same is the reason for Goat's milk to be light in quality. Lighter than even Cow milk. That's why Ayurved says when a newborn doesn't get mother's milk, one should use Goat's milk, not even cow's. And if not available, milk should be processed to make it like Goat's milk.

You know, according to Ayurved Goat milk can be used in many diseases; and one of them was the one which affected Gandhiji. So ultimately because of his pledge, what he had was more than a perfect remedy. Accidental but true.
