Just when you think you've heard it all, Urine for another surprise

Topical Application ...

Most skin disorders, like rashes, psoriasis, eczema, acne, burns, cuts, abrasions, and open wounds respond very favorably to urine. Reportedly urine is also very effective in treating insect bites, irritation from plants (like poison ivy), skin tumors, or abnormal growths. It beautifies and softens the skin, reduces wrinkles, and increases moisture content. ... For topical application, either old or fresh urine is effective. However, only normal (not dark or cloudy) urine should be used. ... Older urine is acceptable for topical application because it has a higher ammonia content, which is often more effective in treating chronic skin conditions. ... It can be applied by hand, with a clean cotton pad, as a spray, or as a compress. ... The urine will be rapidly absorbed into the skin and this can be followed by repeated applications. ... In each of these cases, the treated area of skin can be gently washed with warm water following the treatment if desired. No soap should be used.
