Urine Therapy is a controversial health practice with few positive articles out there. Here is a minority opinion.
In 2017 a (chiropractic) doctor friend of mine introduced me to urine therapy. This is a touchy topic as Western thinking has us default to believing urine is a waste product. Further, people's opinions of you change when they find out you don't shower very often, and that you wash your face with urine every day; like some kind of hippie but extra smelly.
Why Urine:
Urine may very well be far from a waste product. The contents of the bladder are constantly reabsorbed into the body as chemical balances change throughout the day. This is different from stool, which does not reabsorb quite so readily. By all accounts, awareness of the body's excretion (urine, stool, sweat) provides valuable feedback on the state of the body's digestive system and water balance.
Urine itself contains (I am told, unscientifically) undifferentiated cells, urea, ammonia, and a pH balance that is very compatible with being used on or in the body.
What I don't do:
Some people do urine therapy by drinking urine from a jar. I tried this for a couple months and came up with an upset stomach at my next naturopathic doctor visit.
What to do:
Every time using the bathroom (which I do a lot as I drink a ton of water), wet palms and fingers and repeatedly wipe on face. Apply liberally around eyes, and if it is allergy season apply extra. Rub inside of nose. Rub on teeth, and most important of all, drip several drops under tongue. Do not rinse off with water afterward, unless balance is poor and the urine will smell.
Why this is beneficial:
Provides a homeopathic feedback loop between the top of the body's system and the end of the body's system. The body picks up untold amounts of information from the water that was processed and produced by itself.
Provides conscious feedback to the management (you) on things like inadequate water intake or poor dietary balance (e.g. super-salty or greasy foods). Feedback manifests via taste, saltiness, sourness, and/or color. Particularly urine feedback shows the imbalance that results from alcohol consumption. The best taste ever can be had after a simple meal of oatmeal with apples in it after a good water fast.
Results and remedies:
The following conditions may be healed radically quickly with a daily practice of urine therapy (YMMV, not scientific or medical advice).
Healing poison oak; apply urine liberally as often as possible; I have had no itching despite having poison oak several times.
Acne; wounds are treated with something the body produced, oil balance and hormone balance may be corrected.
Scrapes and wounds; undifferentiated cells provide the cellular material needed to heal very rapidly; keep bandages moist (if they are even needed) with urine and scabs will not form, thus accelerating healing time. Add Aquaphor or Calendula atop urine to seal in the wound and provide a cellular-reproductive environment.
Eye drops; helps with red eyes or eye fatigue. Computer glasses were no longer necessary after a couple years of urine therapy.
Allergies;
Ear drops; especially warm, fresh urine.
Bee stings;
Healing tooth abscesses; YMMV, use colloidal silver in conjunction.
Hair; no need for shampoo or conditioner going on four years, sometimes washing in a bowl of urine.
Soft skin, shiny face; in the eye of the beholder.
Maybe avoid internal application of urine (eyes, mouth) when the body is shedding virus, which may happen when sweating during a fever or flu.
Most medical professionals probably disagree on this topic, so this has always been confidential information. As always, consult your doctor before trying something new; they will likely give 10 reasons why urine therapy is a bad idea, and that is just fine.
Bottom line: general health would be improved if people were more aware of what was coming out of their body as a result of the decisions they made putting things in. Urine therapy can provide just that, in addition to numerous topical benefits.
