Urine

[Guest guest]

Hi Group

I took a die da class with Ping Chan in Boston, and he spoke highly of the qualities of urine, again from a young boy. I believe he recommended it for topical application as well, using it like wine to speed the formulas entry into the system. He had personal anecdotes. Fresh is apparently best. I know that it is used to dissolve sea urchin spines, from bitter personal experience, though in that case any urine had to do.

My understanding is that there is a Vedic or yoga practice of taking one's own urine, presumably as a purification, since cows urine is also taken that way, and is one of the most potent purifications available for a soiled Brahmin. And there are certainly people in this country who have taken what might have been a nominally good idea and run with it.

 

Some sketchy but engagingly written material is available at:

There is a bibliography, and a link to something called "urifun" which I'm going to assiduously avoid.

 

and no, I do not drink or topically apply my own, or anyone else's urine, just trying to be thorough.
