ARE you fed up of wandering from one cosmetic shop to another, or from one pharmacy to another in search of products to clear your skin?
You are not alone. Many people have spent a fortune in an attempt to rejuvenate their skin in vain. Little do they know they are carrying the best and costless skin remedy — urine.
Urine is a liquid waste excreted by the kidneys. However, this waste product contains uric acid, which has tremendous medicinal and beauty benefits.
“Urine is an effective natural remedy in curing acne, psoriasis, eczema and other forms of allergies,†explains Dr. Faisal Mohammad, a naturopathic practitioner in Kampala.
Many will frown at the thought of applying urine on their face, but people who have given urine therapy a shot say it made their skins glow in a few days.
One suffering from acne can apply urine on the affected area at bedtime and wash it off in the morning.
“Urine should be drunk while still fresh and warm. Usually the morning urine is best because it is rich in medicinal properties that the internal organs and skin need for therapy,†Alice Namagembe, a skin therapist in Kampala, says.
According to scientific studies, human urine is an enormous source of vitamins, hormones, enzymes and antibodies that cannot be duplicated or derived from any other source.
It has also been discovered that urine can be used for healing allergies, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, asthma, arthritis, infertility, colds, wounds and reducing the HIV/AIDS viral load.
“To achieve excellent results, one needs to be active in the consumption or application of urine on their skin,†Namagembe says.
It is advisable to test urine on skin or under the tongue when it has to be drank. If there are any reactions, it implies the body is not compatible with urine therapy.
Dr. Arnold Tumwine, a general practitioner in Kampala, explains that at least half a glass of fresh urine will do for internal organ healing.
“The amount required for the skin depends on the severity of the problem. Otherwise, two spoonfuls of urine are recommended for the facial therapy,†Dr. Tumwine says.
Each subsequent day, you can double the previous dose or the number of times you take the urine per day until you reach your target amount or the dose that you are comfortable with.
“Never use urine kept overnight or for days. Such urine is poisonous to the skin. It will turn into acid and have a bad odour,†Tumwine warns.
