Urine therapy, why do so many people believe in it?!

What’s all the hype about urine therapy?

Urine is basically free of any micro-organisms (bacteria, fungi, parasites), free of viruses and usually contains very few substances with any immunological potential – proteins.

So this means that urine is “practically” sterile – except of course if someone has a urinary tract infection So urine was probably the cleanest substance that field workers had at their disposal for cleaning wounds.

Back then (though not anymore) it was actually a good way to wash out a wound, in fact you could just pee on a wound yourself.
-

But urine also contains many harmful substances, not necessarily things like heavy metals, but simply salt, which is found in urine, and is harmful because the body has to make an extra effort to get rid of it through the kidneys. This is how the body maintains its chemical balance (homeostasis). So the health benefits of urine, which the body has to work hard to remove, are more than open to doubt.
-

„Peeing on wounds“ seems to have eventually led people to start drinking urine. There are many theories on how this occult practice arose, but actually drinking urine is just sick, that’s all.
-

So, just take our word for it, and if you have a wound, just use some medication to cleanse it, and if you still feel ill, then leave the urine and just drink a glass of cool, clean tap water. And if you have any questions on dentistry, simply visit checkdent.com!
