Good grief, and you believed that "someone"? No, it is no such thing. It is a waste product, and though ordinarily sterile, it is not at all appropriate to put it on your body or to drink it. If I were you, I'd smack whomever told you that crap!

Yes...it is sterile to your own body only. Do not use on someone else or it can and probably will cause some serious infections and spread diseases.
A friend of my sisters had extreme acne in school. The dermatologist had the patient urinate on a wash cloth and wipe the trouble areas. It was gross, but it worked. Acne free for over 10 years too.
When I had my labia pierced, included in my instructions were recommendations for urinating on the site for faster healing and for antiseptic purposes. I was unsure about this because it sounded so gross. I called several other piercing studios who specialize in genital piercings, including one who was a MD, and all recommending the same after care instructions.

Fresh urine is actually sterile and in an emergency can be used to drink or wash out cuts. However, once it sits for a while (over 15 minutes or so) it collects a lot of bacteria! Yes it contains some ammonia when you let it sit out, but it also has loads of bacteria in it too despite that. It doesn't have anything in it that could actually disinfect something as well. Remember that urine is a liquid waste product and because of that I would never use "old" urine for anything.

The waste product in the form of urine of humans and especially of cows from the animal kingdom is an ultimate solution to all kinds of diseases and disorders. It not only acts as an antiseptic but has been considered to be the best antibiotic for all diseases and disorders. There is a therapy based on urine and it is known as Urine Therapy. Drinking cow’s Holy urine is the tradition in the country like India for ages. People could get rid of their chronic ailments drinking cow's milk and it is openly sold in India by many companies. The cow's urine is going to be the next house hold necessity in a couple of years from now because of the speed by which the diseases are getting spread around the world. Urine is best for shampooing your hair and is also a best ear and eye drop. If you get cut and don’t find anything on the spot, just rub your urine and see the difference. Urine is also a best after shave lotion for men. The former Prime Minister of India drank his own urine up to his last days to ease sufferings from his skin disease. I too can understand that it is rather very difficult for a large population to digest that urine really helps in many ways but one has to believe that this is true. Cow’s urine is equally same as Holy water. Please don’t get confused and you will find plenty material on the web site on this subject. Take care and be in good health.

Yes, urine can be used as an antiseptic. I don't know about the science behind it, but it is sterile so would probably be good in the absence of anything else to clean a wound with.

Our body excretes urine for a reason.. it's waste that our body doesn't need. It doesn't make sense for it to be an antiseptic, and it could probably do more harm than good.

No, it is not an antiseptic but there are times when you use it for EMERGENCY treatment. One would be with certain types of stings from sea creatures.
The rest are a bit gory and I don't think you want to hear them.

Something sterile means that it does not contain bacteria or viruses. Urine while in the bladder is usually sterile. Unfortunately when you pee the urine is exposed to your skin and becomes contaminated with skin bacteria. Because of their anatomy women have more exposure to skin when peeing than men. I can see why a man might be told to pee on an injury to help it heal. Urine is loaded with the waste products that you do not need. Drinking it would be re-exposing you to the same stuff that your body is trying to get rid of.

it is sterile with a lot of poisons in it and should not have any kind of antiseptic properties. in some cases it is not sterile however and many people expell bacteria through urine. in short, it is a sterile poison!
