History of Urine Therapy
Urine therapy has been around for a very long time. The medicinal use of urine dates back to the earliest civilizations. It is often referred to as the world’s oldest medicine. It has been known by every generation but has somehow fallen into obscurity. Yet the use of urine, as a medicine, in one form or another can still be found in the medical traditions of tribes which are still in close contact with nature. In India, the yogi’s and the great spiritual masters are well aware of the miracles of this “sacred” fluid. So much so that it has an extremely lengthy and involved history in India dating back over 5,000 years.
Human urine has been considered a healing agent in many Asian cultures for centuries. It has played an important role in the holistic medical traditions of societies all over the world. It is an age-old tradition especially in sickness although many in good health practice it for preventive health maintenance. Ironically, it has been kept a secret by “medicine men” so they alone could have access to this “fountain of youth”.
The Water of Life Foundation in India and the Chinese Association of Urine Therapy has been promoting urine therapy for many years. It is still playing an important role in some medical treatments in Germany, Japan, and has been gaining popularity in the United States. In Germany, urine treatments have been used since medieval times against all kinds of diseases. In Japan, urine therapy has been known for seven hundred years and is commonly prescribed even today against asthma, diabetes, hypertension and on an experimental basis against AIDS and cancer.
Urine therapy also has historical roots in ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, the Aztec empire and since the Middle Ages in Europe. The history of drinking urine for therapeutic purposes dates back to the Holy Roman Empire when great urinal troths were erected in public squares of each city-state for residents to both contribute to, and benefit from. For hundreds of years, many European cultures including Russia have used urine to treat a wide variety of health problems. The ancient Indian text of Shivambu Kalpa Vidhi calls it the divine nectar that is capable of abolishing various types of diseases and ailments. In the Old Testament of the Bible, there is a symbolic reference, “Drink water from they own cistern” (Proverbs 5). For centuries, European Gypsies have known about the curative powers of urine. It has been reported that the Lamas of Tibet reach extended ages by drinking their own urine. For over 500 years ago, Native Indians in the Western Hemisphere had knowledge of this therapy. So much so that natives of Mexico, Argentina, Peru, and Chile continue to consume it for illnesses and utilize it as an antiseptic to treat wounds.
The first soap was perhaps, urine. In England, France and probably elsewhere, the custom of washing one’s hands in urine for its softening and beautifying properties, still exists among the ladies. Urine has also been used as a tooth-wash, a clothes wash and in the preparation of cosmetics, creams and even prescription drugs.
The numbers of uses are impressive and so are the numbers of its followers. According to Xinhua news agency more than three million Chinese drink urine to stay healthy. From India, in the state of Gujarat, there are nearly 300,000 users of urine therapy and in the city of Bombay nearly 30,000 plus are active users. Germany, Korea and Japan have a sizeable number of citizens engaging in urine therapy. It is also growing in the West.
In 2009, the 5th World Congress on Urotherapy was held in Guadalajara, Mexico where advocates from around the world gathered to share their experiences.
