Urine therapy is older than any other therapy listed on this page of remedies (look it up and see it's history). I second using this therapy as a safe and VERY viable alternative to OTC and prescription medications. Once you're over the stigma, you'll see it works. Narrow mind = sick.

Since urine is acidic (urea), vinegar would probably work just as well. I heard that vinegar works.

I agree that urine can be safely used as a remedy. It is sterile but not necessarily non-toxic (bleach is sterile). In the diving world, it is often used to remove sea urchin spines.

I know there's some stigma over using this-but quite a lot of skin creams contain urea-one of the major components of urine. I can tell you that getting a small amount of fresh urine on a cotton wool ball and applying it to styes, works a treat-your stye will be gone in a few hours-may need a couple of applications though.

I just stumbled upon this thread regarding urine being used in several pharmaceuticals. I went to a dermatologist a few months ago for some bumps on my shoulders and they gave me some samples of urea foam. I started laughing and made a rhetorical comment asking the nurse, "why don't I just go home and rub urine all over my shoulders?". She didn't find it funny and responded with defiance. I think something along the lines of it not being the same thing. Maybe not the same thing but all of the ingredients are there, eh? Just another example of ignorance in the field of medicine. Oh, and the foam did not work. Turns out it's not what they thought it was so I canceled my follow-up visit and treated it with suggestions from you guys. Worked like a charm!

I agree with Robert. Your own urine can heal.

Urine is sterile and is only made up of water and the excess nutrients your body doesn't need at that time. The amount of health applications it has is extraordinary. And it does genuinely work. And it does so without the side effects of anything conventional medicine will throw at a problem.
I'm a registered nurse and an alternative wellness practitioner and teacher, I use it and I've had patients use it. It's probably one of the only remedies out there that you never hear a bad word about and you never hear that it did nothing. People are always pleasantly surprised... If a little reticent to share the news with their mates lol.
