ABSTRACT:
Human urine has strengthening and curative characteristics concerning many deficiencies. A mixture of potato and
sulphur powder, mixed with heated, old urine helps against hair loss. One should rub this mixture into the scalp; this
slows down loss of hair. All kinds of throat inflammation can be helped by gargling with urine to which a bit of saffron
has been added. Trembling hands and knees can be helped by washing, and rubbing one's own warm urine into the
skin directly after one has urinated. Drink your own water in the morning nine days together and it cures the scurvy,
makes the body lightsome and cheerful. It is good against the dropsy and Jaundice, drunk as before. Wash your ears
with it warm and it is good against deafness noises and nost other ailments in the ears. Wash your eyes with your own
water and it cures sore eyes and clears and strengthens the sight. Wash and rub your hands with it and it take away
numbness, chaps and sores and makes the joints limber. Wash any green wound with it and it is an extraordinary good
thing. Wash any part that itches and it takes the itch away. More than any other method, urine therapy represents the
principles of natural medicine. One's own urine is a specific medicine for anyone who is ill. It is made for him or her
personally and is just right for what he or she needs at the present moment, because it changes its composition all the
time.
