This document summarizes the practice of urine therapy, which involves drinking one's own urine or applying it topically for perceived health benefits. It notes that over 3 million Chinese practice urine therapy, and describes various methods like drinking it straight, mixing it with juice, or using it in baths or enemas. However, it provides no scientific evidence that urine therapy is effective for any medical conditions, and medical organizations say no controlled studies have proven benefits. The document concludes by saying urine therapy is unlikely to help or harm most people and they would be better off taking a multivitamin instead.
