urine therapy (amaroli, auto-urine-therapy, shivambu kalpa, uropathy)

Subject of The Water of Life (1937), by English urine therapist John W. Armstrong, The Golden Fountain: The Complete Guide to Urine Therapy (Scottsdale, Ariz.: TriMedica Inc., 1996), by Coen van der Kroon, and many other books. "Urine therapy" refers to any method for maintaining or improving health characterized by the external or internal application of an individual's urine to that individual. Forms of urine therapy include applying urine to the skin (e.g., by massage or clay packs), ingesting it, injecting it (e.g., urine enemas), and snuffing it. Some proponents describe human urine as a "divine nectar," a "nectar of immortality," or a God-given panacea.
