Buttermilk, known as takra in Sanskrit, holds a very special place in the ancient system of healthy living from India, known as Ayurveda.
It was written in one of the ancient Ayurvedic texts:
“He who uses takra daily does not suffer from diseases, and diseases cured by takra do not recur.” AND “Just as divine nectar is for the gods, takra is to humans.”
—Bhavaprakasha Chapter 6.7
