Cowabunga , dude !!!
[QUOTE=theYogadr.;55533]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.
i can’t believe this conversation is still happening…

I was thinking exactly the same thing. I guess some people want to drink piss AND be excepted by society… well you can’t have your cake and eat it too… I’m not talking some kind of cow patty cake
