You might think that it is strange to drink your urine as a 'survival test' in such an emergency but many people in different parts of the world believe that drinking your urine is beneficial for a 'healthy' life.
But does waking up early in the morning and drinking your own urine cure diseases? Does applying urine on the body and face make the skin smooth and healthy as it is believed? What do the doctors say about this?
Kelly Oakley, a 33-year-old yoga instructor based in England, recently revealed that drinking her own urine has helped her cope with chronic stress. He said that this medicine has given him relief from prostate and chronic pain.
Kelly recently told the Associated Press that he has been drinking his own urine for the past two years.
"I heard that drinking urine boosts your immune system, helps maintain good health, and is good for your skin," Kelly said. So I started trying my own urine drinking experiment.
He not only drinks his urine every day, but also rubs it on his skin. He said that this medicine made his skin brighter.
Many people call this drug 'urine therapy'. This medicine is also known as 'Urophagia'.
Interestingly, Kelly is not the only person who claims to benefit from drinking his own urine. Recently there have been many such examples.
"Drinking my own urine has helped me lose half my weight," Sampson, 46, of Albert, Canada, told the Sun magazine.
Earlier he said that his weight decreased to 120 kg, which was bothering him, but now that he has started drinking his own urine, his weight has returned to normal.
"My friend sent me a video explaining urine therapy. After watching the video, I went to the bathroom, filled a cup with my urine and drank. Within a few days, I started to see a difference in myself.", he explained.
Now they drink urine every day and also use their urine to scrub their mouths when brushing their teeth in the morning. He also puts his drops in their eyes.
Another woman, 39-year-old Faith Canter from Portugal, recently said that she drinks her own urine to relieve the pain of mosquito bites.
He said, "I felt a little strange at first, but gradually I got used to it." I drink urine every morning. Now I get bitten by mosquitoes less than before. And even if it hurts sometimes, there is no swelling, itching or pain."
Knowing the many good opinions about 'urine therapy', it is natural that questions arise in the mind about its benefits. .
Did 'former Prime Minister of India also drink urine?'
According to a report in the Guardian magazine, the former Prime Minister of India Morarji Desai also tried 'urine therapy' for a long time.
In 1978, he shared this information with American journalist Don Rather.
He also said that this could be a very good solution for millions of people in India who cannot afford hospital expenses.
According to members of the Chinese Urology Association, about one hundred thousand people in Mainland China use 'urine therapy'.
The woman who drank dog urine
In June this year, a video of a woman drinking her dog's urine went viral on social media.
In the video, the woman is seen taking her dog to the park. Meanwhile, in one scene, he is seen taking his dog's urine in a cup and drinking it.
However, doctors say that drinking urine in this way is not good for health.
'Like drinking rubbish'
Urine is a waste of the body. Along with water, you have unwanted substances in the body.
Dr. Zubair Ahmad told the BBC, “Many people believe that if you don't have any kidney problems, your urine is clean. It is fine as long as you are inside the body but if you go outside you can get infected with bacteria. Drinking urine in such a situation can cause serious health problems.”
There is no scientific evidence that drinking urine is beneficial.
He says, "Through urine we remove impurities from the body. Therefore, there is no scientific basis for drinking waste urine to be beneficial."
Effects on the kidneys
According to Dr. Andrew Thonber, drinking urine means that you are putting the waste that your body has eliminated into your body. Doing so can harm your health.
"The kidneys clean the blood and remove impurities and salts," he told the BBC. A healthy person's urine is 95 percent water, and the remaining five percent contains chemicals such as potassium and nitrogen, which the body wants to excrete. So drinking urine can cause stomach problems, as well as being dangerous for the kidneys."
According to him, "Many people believe that drinking urine can provide the body with essential vitamins quickly, there is no need to follow such dangerous methods."
