I wasn't actually thinking about using it for that purpose...
I'm just curious. xD

There is only a small % difference between urine and tears. I know urine is antiseptic and Will stop bleeding. It can be used in combat to preserve intestines until a doctor can put them back in.
I never heard of it being good for your skin,but it can't hurt.

Yes. But you have to use early morning urine. It is the most concentrated. It can be used as a face wash to help clear up acne, or as a mouthwash. Ancient Romans picked up the habit of using urine as mouthwash from the Gaul's in Spain.

The one thing I know about urine--aside from the obvious stuff, like it stinks, it's a bodily waste, and so on, is that it contains *uric acid* in small amounts. This stuff *can* have anti-fungal properties, so if you are a guy and you miss the toilet once in a blue moon and hit your feet...clean up the floor, but don't be anal about your toes, you might just stop a case of athlete's foot from happening.
Really, look it up. Look up the active ingredients of things like Desenex and such. One of the older formulas did use uric acid as the base anti-fungal ingredient for years.
But there are better (and less smelly) anti-fungals out there, for sure.
Hope this helps. ^_^

Yes, it apparantly prevents calluses. Read the link below...
and the guy above says diaper rash is caused by urine - uh, no it's not..it's caused by the friction from the rubbing between the skin and the diaper.

yes, it is. If you're ever stranded in the middle of the ocean you can drink your own pee, also, there was a "diet" popular back in the day (70's) in which one would drink their own urine. You can rub it on your face to help clear blemishes. I dont know that I would actually do any of these things.

Depends on whose urine and what urine you're talking about. Do you need someone to test it out on you?

i've read in one of the "straight dope" books that people used to use urine as "toothpaste" so to speak. urine of royalty was more prized for such purposes.

Well.. uh.. urine is actually something your body is trying to get rid of, so I don't know why you would want it back on your body.

i never heard that it is good for you, but i heard that it is perfectly fine to drink because it is sterile. you'll live a few days longer if you are trapped in a desert or something and you drink your own urine.
