Urine is good for the health drink?

Centuries ago, urine became a popular health drink and was considered an effective treatment.

Normally, urine is sterile (unless you have a kidney disease). In the past, it was still used in the treatment of various diseases such as sores, hair loss and dizziness.

The book "Urine Therapy: the first medicine of nature for good health" (Urine Therapy: Nature's Elixir for Good Health) has recorded a number of unique urine medications of the ancients: If dizziness is caused by problems When it comes to blood circulation or weather, nature . take the fresh ' urine ' to apply to your neck and hair twice a day, morning - evening. Besides, before each shampooing, massage your scalp with urine and leave it for at least 1 hour.

In addition, in China, India, Southeast Asia, . people still have a perception of drinking urine to prevent disease. Even some places are used for small eyes, ears, mouthwash, bath water, and sometimes acne treatment.

However, how does modern science see this problem?

Scientists say that urine contains at least 95% water, the remaining 5% are things that are not good for your body, which is why they are 'thrown out ' .

It carries excess electrolytes such as sodium, chloride and potassium (urine also carries traces of excess toxins in kidney acids but the damage in this case is negligible because of the condition that you have to drink Very large amount).

The electrolyte allows some cells in the body to conduct electricity, but too much sodium absorbs significant amounts of water out of the cell, leading to dehydration and excessive potassium, leading to a heart attack.'Drinking it is like you're drinking seawater,' says Jeff Giullian, a doctor specializing in kidney disease in Colorado.

If you drink urine to survive, its danger increases even more when all electrolytes and acids appear in large concentrations. This is not to mention that it is also extremely hard to smell.
