Bahuguni - In Hindu literature means - Multipurpose. Similarly, Neekopa Oil is a multipurpose oil developed for various illness and pain relief. Neekopa Oil can extensively be used for - Severe pain relief, Headache, Cough, Cold, Bleeding, Burns etc.


Early Age of Unaffordable Medication
Long ago in decades of 1950, Dr. Tarachand B. Rakecha practiced as a physician in Nagar Taluka (Kolhar - Village) of Maharashtra. Being the only physician and no hospital facility in an around 8-10 kms, villagers faced a difficult time in curing even the common problems like - cough, cold, body aches etc. and their pains always went in vain. Bunch of higher class individuals who had little means of transport could reach doctors for diagnosis. However, most of them used common medicines available during those times like - Amrutanjan, Amrutdhara, Sanjeevan Dhara etc. without even consulting the doctors. And others who couldn't afford the readymade medicines tried and tested homemade tricks for curing themselves. Medicines with proper diagnosis was never an affordable option for the villagers.
Invention of Neekopa Oil
Me being a freedom fighter by choice and doctor by profession, the miserable condition of people was bad sight. I was always keen on developing some affordable medicine which would help individuals in case of emergencies. Research and continuous study of various medical sciences like - Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Allopathy etc helped me. I conducted several experiments for development of Neekopa Oil and saw that it was very effective on commonly observed illnesses like cough, cold, joint pain, body ache etc. Gradually, continuous improvements in Neekopa helped me discover a oil for several cures. Experimentation and Case studies on daily basis lead to discovery of healing. One of which - a villager, during his daily course was severely injured and before he could reach the nearby hospital, he applied Neekopa Oil soaked in cotton on his injury. To his surprise, bleeding stopped and scars were healing. Few days application of Neekopa not only helped him over come pain but left no scar marks. This was another use that I came across during my journey of experimentation. Gradually, I also discovered that Neekopa was very effective on burns. Application of Neekopa Oil on burns immediately left no boils and burn marks. A long journey of experiments and research made Neekopa Oil, a one stop solution for all. Neekopa Oil should be used as a first application medication in case of emergencies until one reaches a doctor for further treatment. Neekopa Oil reduces pain instantly and helps the patients to bear the unbearable.
Neekopa Oil- One Stop Solution
Journey was a course during my practice in a village, later in decades of 90's when I settled in Pune city, things were very different, problems were different, environment - climatic conditions, lifestyle everything was different. This made me conduct further research on my product which would help address common problems faced by people in city conditions. My observations about common problems like - asthma, cold, allergic cough, breathing problems, stress etc. Lifestyle illnesses like - backaches, body pain, joint pains were a course of my daily observations. I knew I had to go beyond to improve Neekopa Oil to address the above illnesses too. So I kept my research and study on and conducted further experiments. A few additions to existing Neekopa Oil during the course of improvement also help my patients and many others to prevent themselves from the recently occurring disease of swine flu. Simple instruction to use Neekopa Oil - application on nose, neck, 2-3 drops on handkerchief and using like a mask during swine flu regime helped prevention for spread of swine flu. I conducted the application technique experiment widely on school going children, shopkeeper, street vendors who extensively came in contact with larger crowd and higher probability of contacting viral infections. Daily use of Neekopa Oil with above mentioned way of applying on nose, neck, handkerchief proved a boon for many and helped overcome the contraction of viral infections. Several above mentioned, successful experiments made me closer to my goal each day. Finally, I could produce a product - Neekopa Oil which could be used as a first remedy for several illnesses and pains before one reaches a doctor for further diagnosis.
