Is pee really a cure for most things?

Question

I know this sounds gross and no I have not done it...I swear!
But my grandmothers boss at the time told her that her own pee can cure acne. Also I read from other countries like Ireland and India its being practice but not openly so.

But they say your pee can cure fungus of your toe nails,pain,and possible can cure cancer.

But has anyone tried pee as a cure and does it really work for most things?

Heres one link.

Answer 1

yes in many cultures it is considered to be a remedy for many different things.
my friends wife is chinese and he said that in her culture pee is used to cure soar throats he said she would actually gargle her own urine!! gross but i guess it works

Answer 2

Um no, pee does have a higher salt content in it and that could be the reason that it would help acne. I mean bacteria well a lot of bacteria does not do well in really salty conditions. So it would be kinda like making up a thing of salt water and washing your face in it. Pee is sterile when it's in the bladder it picks up bacteria when it travels down and out your body. The thing is pee can and does carry things like Hepatitis and other illnesses. So I would never recommend using pee as a face scrub or wash. The best place for it is in a toilet. =)

Answer 3

Well in emergency situations like being stuck out in the woods or something, yes, urine can be used for certain things BUT it can be very unsterile so you should never use your own pee as a substitute for medical treatment that is administered by a professional. In addition, I wouldn't call it a cure for "most" things by any stretch.

Answer 4

I don't know if it cures most things but i read once in a book that in the medieval times the soldiers used their pee to cure the injuries of their fellow soldiers. Hope it helps.

Answer 5

In the military they teach you to pee when certain things happen like fungus and certain insect stings and Yes I know of many people who had to do it. It only clears up the fungus like athletes foot not the yellow toe fungus and stuff like that. The military also only tells you to do it as a last resort to stop the burning and or stinging sensation. I have never heard of the acne thing but I honestly think it would be pretty disgusting to pour pee on my face. Feet and legs as a last resort would be okay though ......

Answer 6

Hi,
I am a dermatologist by profession and within a careeer of 10 years I have seen lots of acne problems. According to me Red and white pimples are the worst and painful. Acneprone skin is very sensitive, even if you touch it once the redness will increase with itching. According to me there is no magical way to heal your pimples over night as this is the puffed part of your skin due to the bacteria.

In simple words try to improve your diet and have lots of water that helps in healingg process. Un-necessary oily food should be avoided to get a healthy spotless skin.

Answer 7

I am not a doctor nor a specialist but this may help:

1) rinse your face as soon as you wake up, after you come home from outside

and before you sleep.
2) eat a lot of apples( i do not know how but that really helped me)
3) drink a lot of water..A LOT
4) exercise to sweat and get dirt off your face

Give it a try, i am sure it will work. It worked for me

Answer 8

I know that I have heard that your urine cures things like an ear ache so yes it does work, on exactly what I am not so sure of.

Answer 9

I know that it is sterle and can be used for an emergency to sterilize insterments out in the field. I read that they use to do that during the civil war.

Answer 10
