Use of own urine

[Guest guest]

Namaste.

I have scanned through the entries on th euse of urine in ayurveda

but there seems to be little discussion of the use in general of

using one`s own urine on a regular basis in the maintenance of good

health.

 

As a practising yogi of many years experience I use my own fresh

urine each morning. I drink about half a glass of the first urine

(after the first expulsion to wash the channel). I also bathe each

eye for 10m seconds or so using an eye bath, use a neti pot to clean

the nostrils of night mucus and finally massage the whole body

including the scalp and face with urine.

 

I believe that the vitamin/mineral hormone content of first urine is

very beneficial in the body. Urine should be seen not merely as

waste, but as a nutrient rich source of substances which were not

used by the body during rest. These nutrients and benefits can be

absorbed over the whole surface of the body - hence the massage and

eye washing. Massaging the urine into the skin also serves the

extra benefit of stimulating circulation in the skin and especially

of the lymphatic system. Using a neti with mild salt solution of

boiled water is OK, but own fresh urine is much kinder to the

tissues of the nostrils and more sterile than a made up solution.

 

Contrary to popular fears, own fresh urine does not smell if used on

freshly cleansed skin.
