When we have health concerns we normally start with a trip to the doctor. This is always the best place to start as western medicine has come on in leaps and bounds over the years and many complaints can be resolved with modern drugs and medicines.
However if the health concern is not getting better then we tend to start looking in different areas for help. My first choice is always the internet as you can almost guarantee somebody else somewhere has experienced the same complaint and will have been down the same route of searching for a curative remedy.
I tend to work on the basis that if we go back to our inbuilt intuition and take responsibility for our health with diet, and exercise for mind, body and spirit, this will keep our immune systems healthy and keep us healthy.
Of course at times things go wrong and we end with a health concern that cannot be easily fixed, this is when some of the ideas on this page may be beneficial to you.
I do not give any guarantees with any of the ideas below, its your body and as such it's your responsibility to find and try the healing that's right for you, but keep an open mind and most of all be positive, intention is our best medicine!
Urine Therapy
The term urine therapy (also urotherapy , urinotherapy or uropathy ) refers to various applications of human urine for medicinal or cosmetic purposes, including drinking of one's own urine and massaging one's skin with one's own urine. A practitioner of urine therapy is sometimes called a uropath.
Promoters of urine therapy believe urine to have many preventative and curative powers. Some cultures have traditionally used urine as a medicine, especially India's, where it is prescribed by the Shivambu Kalpa Vidhi, which (among other uses and prescriptions) suggests massaging one's skin with aged, concentrated urine. In traditional Tibetan medicine, examination of the patient's urine is one of the main sources of information for a diagnosis.
Urine's main constituents are water and urea.
However, it contains small quantities of many hormones and metabolites, including corticosteroids.
Urea has been claimed by some doctors to have an anti-cancer effect.
In addition, the other chemicals in urine might have some effect if ingested.
In 1997, Joseph Eldor, of the Theoretical Medicine Institute in Jerusalem, published a paper suggesting that because cancer cells release antigens which appear in the urine, oral autourotherapy could spur the intestinal lymphatic system to produce antibodies against these antigens.
