No one should be drinking any sort of urine.
It is leaving your body for a reason.
I looked this up. What they call “Urine Therapy” and there is no scientific evidence behind it, it’s all spiritual based.
There is no scientific evidence because they (pharmafia) fear them.
Amaroli relieves and finally cures many ailments. It’s free and self produced.
Amaroli cured my allergy to cats and mites, that manifested as asthma, phlegm and vasomotor rhinitis, after desperately trying many alternative treatments.
Amaroli doesn’t have a scientific background, but it does have an empirical one. It’s been practiced since ancient times.
Speaking and making judgments about things we don’t know or we haven’t experienced is a foolish and non-scientific activity.
I admire your patience and good manners.
Personally I prefer to use my ignore list.

Now in Amber Bottle to Preserve Majickal Freshness!
Bottoms up people! Enjoy it european stlye! (warm)

Its the real thing!
And remember to take your majick pills. But you must have the faith for them to work their majick.
No faith? No work.
[QUOTE=b.shahvir;52971]Faith is important as it helps in increasing the effectiveness of the medication. When i say this, I do not mean it has placebo effect… but it helps![/QUOTE]
This sums it up for me! This is the reason so many people use quacky, unscientific medication. Whenever ‘faith’ is involved, you know your on the wrong track. Try telling a cancer patient that we have a medicine available, but it requires faith to work effectively lol
When I say faith, I mean to say I have belief in the ancient practices followed in Eastern philolsophies such as Hinduism. Modern science was born when scientists looked in the external physical world for answers. Eastern religion such as Hinduism comprises yogic science and Ayurveda when sages focused inwards. The answers came from within, the true self.
In Eastern philosophy, every practice has a purpose. Nothing is left for nonsense. In this sense, I continue with the arguments as I have great respect for Eastern philosophy…especially Hinduism.
But let me state that Scales is correct in his place. He might not have been influenced by Eastern philosophies in it’s entireity.
Finally, to each his own!

Seeing that your urine is probably dirty, it belongs in the toilet. And if even your urine cannot be put to use, then it is perhaps far better to drink, get drunk, and pretend to be merry.

It is not a matter of philosophy. The yogic sciences are precisely that, a science for the expansion of consciousness. It does not require any philosophy at all, whether Samkhya, Advaita, or any other tradition - in fact an attachment to any philosophy or belief system is certain function like a veil over one’s eyes which prevents you from awakening a clarity which is capable of seeing tihngs as they are. If you enter into the search for Truth with any belief or philosophy, then the mind is such that it will see whatever it wants to see. And with or without one’s awareness, one is just looking for a way to re-affirm one’s own conclusions. In the search for Truth - one enters consciously into the unknown, without assuming anything at all - just an empty slate of inquiry without raising a finger for or against. Like any scientific approach, it requires a scientific attitude. But it was inevitable to turn certain discoveries into “philosophy” - because the whole problem is that the moment you try to express what cannot be expressed, you have to force it into the boundaries of your language. And the result tends to be philosophy - which is a severe distortion of the Truth. What people like Gautama Buddha, Patanjali, Mahavira, Lao Tzu, Bodhidharma, Ramakrishna, had seen was a direct encounter with one’s own true nature, but once one comes out of that experience, now the problem surfaces as to how to make it accessible to others. Something must be said about it, but the moment you start mistaking the words for the spirit behind the words, then you immediately become entangled in delusion. And as long as one continues clinging to philosophy, the delusion continues.

I couldn’t disagree more. I think many things in yoga are practiced due to traditions. I imagine that 60% of what I do in yoga class is outdated, and unscientific mumbo jumbo, and is based on primitive beliefs. However, the other 40%, that actually benefits me is worth sitting though the rubbish. I imagine you could find many, many things in eastern philosophy that could be considered useless if you were to closely re-evaluate it. I’m not a fan of that close minded thinking. It’s too easy, and convenient to make assumptions that a philosophy has all the answers and solutions. I really don’t think that the universe is as black and white as that.
However, each to his own… absolutely. What good is any philosophy if we can’t all accept each others different views. At the end of the day, we are all mistaken.

Dear Amir,
It is fruitless trying to convince people who do not want to be convinced. I think one must let go, as topics like these are experienced rather than debated upon. The Western civilization have done excellent progress, but at a cost… and the cost is whatever cannot be felt by the five senses is false. One can only imagine where this kind of belief system would take them.
Everyone has a right to his view point and it has to be respected, even though it might not be palatable. This is one of the positive influences of Eastern culture.

I’ll have you know my urine is perfectly clean, thank you very much. In fact, according to ancient Irish spiritual traditions, a pint of guiness is essential for purified urine. There may very well be a burgeoning local economy that can meet ever growing demand for purified urine. I would check it out if I were you.
Food for thought!?
Interesting thread.
Lots of my yogi friends drink their urine every day. At their insistence, similar to that of AmirMourad, I did some research. (My results are posted in the articles section of my website which I am not allowed to link here.)
End result? I still don’t drink my own urine.
Topical urine, on the other hand, [I]may[/I] possibly be useful. Auto-urine therapy is preferable to cow’s urine, but I know a few people who attended a urine therapy hospital in India who swear by the latter [I](tons of [B]anecdotes[/B] out there)[/I]. Topical auto-urine therapy is worth a try - inexpensive, readily available, and no serious side effects. The high solute content of urine (primarily from urea) in a compress can help to pull excess fluid from swollen tissues. It works better for soft tissue problems like boils (urine is sterile) than intra-articular joint problems. An MD Yoga friend of mine uses this therapy all the time.

See now I can get down with this. Topicly there [I]may[/I] be some value.
Literally drinking it however - is not a requirement to attain any yogic goal.
Can you tell me what Topical urine is ? thankyou .
Urine is great for cleaning oily hands , my own urine !
I met a man on a train India , dutch man , he swore by it , he was extemely heathy looking and really vibrant I always remember his vitality and enthusiasm it was twenty five years ago but memory of him stays with me.
just saying !
My mom, quickly approaching 71, has suffered from crippling arthritis for the past 5 years–in her left foot and knee. What’s helped her tremendously is a balanced diet (and actually losing weight) and swimming 3 times a week. Perhaps trying something more natural might help your mother too.
Topical urine - soaking a cloth with freshly expelled urine (preferably your own!) and placing it on a swollen or painful area for 30 minutes three times a day. Secure snugly with a tie around the limb, but not so tight that it inhibits circulation.
If there is any break in the skin (cuts, scratches and so forth), topical urine may not be the best idea, but if you use it be sure to use sterile gauze and the MID portion of your urine stream so that no bacteria will be in it.
StudioLiveTV is correct in that the best natural treatment for arthritis of the knees is weight loss. Several research studies show that losing 10 pounds makes a “ton” of difference. Also be sure to walk or otherwise exercise the limbs daily with weight bearing. It seems counter-intuitive to some people - if their knee hurts they want to stay off of it - but the truth is that the painful arthritic knee needs to go through its normal range of motion to heal (um… YOGA!). Also, eat plenty of anti-inflammatory foods and spices rather than anti-inflammatory pills - ginger, turmeric, basil, cinnamon, pepper, cloves. And avoid refined sugar, refined grains, and hydrogenated fats like the plague - they stimulate inflammation.
