It stated in Netherlands in the West, and now is a craze in US, Canada, and Europe. In India, we have known the motherly love of cows and its benefits for thousands of years, because cows symbolize life, motherhood, and the divine. Harming them is forbidden due to the principle of ahimsa (non-violence). Cow hug therapy, involves interacting with cows in a calm and controlled environment, often including hugging or brushing them. Proponents believe this interaction offers various health benefits, including stress reduction, oxytocin release, lower blood pressure, mindfulness, and connection. While the science is still catching up, let's explore the potential reasons behind this claim and delve into some important considerations.
