Urine Therapy - In Alternative Medicine

In alternative medicine, urine therapy involves the use of urine (usually one’s own) to treat various kinds of ailments. This can either be through drinking of urine, or applying it externally to various parts of the body. While most people would think of urine as mostly containing the body’s dirty and toxic wastes, practitioners of urine therapy would claim that urine actually contains by-products from the body that are actually full of helpful minerals.

Some ailments purported to be cured by urine therapy include psoriasis, eczema, hepatitis, hyperactivity, allergies, and the like. Here are a few ways you can use urine to cure ailments.
