Very recently I became aware of a little thing called Urine Therapy. This is the practice of drinking one's urine in order to boost immunities. I became so amazed that people actually practice urine therapy, I began to research. In my research I found many more ways in which people use urine. In this article I will discuss four of the uses I discovered for human urine.
Boost Immunity
As discussed earlier, there are some people that regularly drink their morning urine in order to boost their immune system. They believe that reintroducing the body to agents it has already seen reminds the immune system to be prepared the next time. It is said that urine therapy has an affect similar to that of an immunization. The lasting affects of urine therapy can last for decades. Although many people gag at the thought of drinking their own urine, other people welcome the natural cure for diseases.
As Bleach
If I didn't already lose you at urine therapy, you might draw the line here. Some people use urine as bleach for their fabrics and even teeth. You may look at this as disgusting, but it is much more natural than a chemical bleach detergent.
Skin Treatment
Using urine for skin treatment is much more common than consuming the liquid. Urine can be used as a topical disinfectant on wounds. It can also be used several times a day on a rash or a blister. Blisters and rashes will heal much faster when using urine than when not using urine. Other people use urine to soften dry skin or to alleviate eczema. There are some that give their tired, dry feet a daily urine soak. This makes them baby soft for the next morning.
Agricultural Fertilizer
Many gardeners and farmers will agree that urine is an extremely affective way to fertilize a garden. By using one part urine to 13 parts water, the high acidic levels of urine can be avoided. Many scientists and professionals even believe that urine is a much more affective way to fertilize than commercial fertilizers or sewage compost. What's more: urine is completely free!

A correction to this article: Urine is not highly acidic. The reason it needs to be diluted 10:1 is that the NPK ratios (ie the strength of the fertilizer) is often too high for the roots of plants under the size of, say, a tree or a large shrub...especially in the cases of repetitive application.
