History of urinary therapy

People from time immemorial knew about the healing properties of urine, and traces of this knowledge have been preserved in folk medicine.

At the beginning of the last century, the book "A Thousand Remarkable Things" was published simultaneously in England, Scotland and Ireland. Here are some bizarre excerpts from the

, a universal and excellent remedy for all external and internal health disorders - in the mornings drink your own water for 9 days, and it will cure scurvy, make the body light, joyful;it works well against dropsy, jaundice;drink as above;

with warm urine my ears: it works well against rottenness and other disturbances in the ear area;mine and massage her hands, and she will relieve numbness, remove cracks and abrasions, straighten the joints;my eyes with my own water, and she will heal the sick eyes, purify them and strengthen the sight;Wiping his wound with it - surprisingly well helps;Wash any place that is scraped and it will relieve itching;my lower body, it helps well from hemorrhoids and other sores.

These statements suggest that it is not right to consider a normal view of urine as a dirty and poisonous product that can not be taken as a medicine.

Even now, there are cases of urinary therapy in deaf villages. Old grandmothers give children their urine in case of fever, diarrhea, etc.

While preserving their children's health without medicines, they served useful in the sense that they allowed them to retain knowledge that would otherwise have been lost.

Not only humans, but also animals instinctively use urinary therapy .If the bull or the dog is unwell, they usually lie in one place and from time to time drink their urine. In a few days they are healthy.

In India, the mullein and the urine of the cow are widely used. Hindus take in the mullein and cow urine for self-cleaning before performing important ritual procedures, and also if they have to eat something bad and dirty. In Ayurvedic medicine( Indian doctors), the cow's urine is considered a very strong remedy for the treatment of severe diseases, especially the liver. Ayurveda recognizes human urine as a potent cure for many diseases.

According to Wagbaatta: "There is nothing in the world that could not be used for treatment. It is only necessary to use it wisely. "Human urine is the antidote. In India, there are many yogis who regularly use urine. They look young even at a very old age. They consider urine a sacred fluid. They call it Shivambu, which means - the water of Shiva, the water of health.

In the sect of Kapayanka, worshiping the god Shiva, this yogic technique is called Amaroli.

The most ancient and perhaps most comprehensive source in the therapeutic aspect is the chapter from Damar Tantra, entitled "Practice of using urine to restore the body."It includes the first stage of Amaroli, since physical health is an indispensable condition for any spiritual practice.

Damar Tantra was written about 5000 years ago and has a form of dialogue between Shiva and Parvati. Below follow some of the most important statements of this text.

"... Oh, Parvati Now I'll tell you what utensils are suitable for success. The vessel must be made of gold, silver, copper, iron, zinc, clay, bamboo, bone, skin or leaves. Oh, devi, clay pots are best for this purpose. "

"A practitioner should refrain from salty and spicy food, eat a little, do not overwork, work, and avoid unnecessary movements. He must have his own feelings and must sleep on the ground. "

"A practitioner must get up early in the morning( namely between 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning) and emit urine while facing the East."

"The initial and final portions of urine should be discarded and the average portion collected. This is the best portion of urine to drink. "

"You have to take your own urine, it's called shivambudhara."

"Shivambu( urine) as a divine nectar, it dispels illness and old age. The mystic must first drink his urine, and then proceed to his sacred exercises of meditation. "

"Get out of bed, first of all, put your mouth in order, manage your natural needs, and then drink your urine. If you do this within a month, then not only will the diseases disappear, but the body will also be purified inside. "

"By pulling the urine through your nose every morning you can get rid of all the diseases caused by cotton wool, pitti and cafe( Ayurvedic body elements - gases, bile, slime).Digestion improves, and the body becomes stronger. "

"He who rubs urine all over his body three times a day and three times at night, lives long. All the joints of his body are strengthened, he is freed from disease and remains cheerful. "

"Oh, Parvati, the one who drinks urine once a day and rubs it into the body for three years, acquires a body full of strength and brilliance, knowledge in the arts and sciences, acquires the gift of eloquence and lives as long as there arethe sky and the moon. "If we even leave aside hyperboles and mentions of the supernatural, one thing remains perfectly clear: urine is undoubtedly a very effective and harmless means for strengthening the body and treating diseases.

So, urinary therapy has old and strong traditions. There were times when people used urine without hesitation as a medicine. But then there was medical science, allopathy, Indian Ayurveda. The alchemists conducted many important studies. The properties of herbs and minerals and their effect on the body and brain were studied in detail. People were amazed at these discoveries. They decided that plants and minerals, as well as other artificially created substances, are more suitable and effective for the treatment of various diseases. And at the same time, people moved away from nature, and the idea that urine is a dirty product( in other words, waste of life) was deposited in their minds. Thus, urinary therapy has become an obsolete type of treatment and in many parts of the world it is almost unthinkable.

Fortunately, there were always people who tried to establish the truth at any cost. Such people were John Armstrong in England and Raojibhai Manibha Patel in India. They established and proved that urine is an excellent healing agent. One can easily imagine how to have the courage and conviction to investigate and apply urinary therapy in practice, despite sharply negative public opinion.
