Urine therapy

Definition
Urine therapy is the use of one's urine, internally or externally, to heal wounds or alleviate disease symptoms and/or for overall well-being. It is also called uropathy, auto-urine therapy, amaroli, or shivambu.

Origins
References to the use of urine for medicinal purposes can be traced to ancient Egyptian, Chinese, Aztec, and Hindu histories. Proponents also point to Proverbs 5:15 in the Old Testament of the Bible: "Drink water from thy own cistern, and the streams of thy own well."

As an integral part of the ayurvedic tradition of yoga, urine therapy is known as amaroli. Ayurvedic yogis are encouraged to drink their own urine between 4 and 6 A.M. in the morning in the belief that the hormones ingested will facilitate a meditative state.

The rationale of the therapy is that urine is a byproduct of blood filtration, not excess water from consumed food and liquid. In fact, the medical term for urine is plasma ultrafiltrate. Blood filled with nutrients passes through the liver where toxins are filtered out and excreted as solid waste matter. This purified blood then travels to the kidneys where any excess elements form urine and are then eliminated from the body. As urine passes through the urethra, it is a sterile solution. Ninety-five percent of it is water; the remaining five percent is a combination of urea, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, hormones, proteins, and antibodies. Urine therapy advocates argue that the presence of these nutrients are proof of urine's medicinal powers.

Urea is an antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral agent that forms when the body balances its ratio of sodium chloride to water. Urea is often used to make ointments and lotions for its properties of reducing inflammation and ability to kill bacteria. It can be duplicated under laboratory conditions by dissolving calcium cyanamid in water, and then heated under high pressure to produce a compound of urea and calcium hydroxide.

Benefits
Urine therapy has been touted as a remedy for a long list of ailments, including multiple sclerosis, colitis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, hepatitis, hyperactivity, psoriasis, eczema, diabetes, herpes, mononucleosis, and adrenal failure. It is a commonly used treatment for snakebites and bee and jellyfish stings. Childhood illnesses such as acute flu, colds, viral infections, mumps, chicken pox, and allergies are also said to be alleviated by urine therapy. Urine is an ingredient in Pergonal, a fertility drug, and in pharmaceuticals used to dissolve blood clots.

Description
Urine therapy can be applied internally or externally. For internal use, a sample of the morning's first urine is collected in a sterile container. Using a clean medicine dropper, the patient places an amount between one to ten drops under the tongue. Usually, one to five drops are applied on the first day; 5-10 drops on the second day; 5-10 drops on the morning of the third day, followed by 5-10 drops that evening.

In homeopathic urine therapy, drops of urine are diluted in quantities of distilled water. Drops of the dilution are placed under the tongue hourly until a noticeable improvement in illness or the temporary worsening of the condition occurs. Then drops are applied at lengthening intervals for three days.

Only fresh urine should be used when taken orally. The genital area should be washed before collecting a specimen. The best time to collect urine is first thing in the morning, and collecting the sample mid-stream. Individuals should refrain from eating for a half hour after ingesting the urine.

For external use, new or old urine can be applied. Old urine has a higher ammonia content that is more effective on skin such rashes as eczema and psoriasis. To store urine for later use, one should pour it into a dark glass bottle and close it tightly. Keep the bottle in a cool, dark place for at least four days.

A small amount is applied to the affected area with a cotton ball or pad. Continue massaging 5-10 applications to the area until it is soaked. Tape a clean, soaked pad to the area for several hours. The urine can also be sprayed onto the skin. For cosmetic purposes, fresh or 1-2 dayold urine can be lightly massaged into the skin or added in small amounts to moisturizing cream. Some practitioners recommend avoiding the use of soap or lotion after applying urine to the skin. Dryness can be alleviated with sesame oil.

Injections of urine are not advised. One of the key components of therapy is the gradual introduction of urine into the body. The abrupt introduction of urine into the bloodstream could exacerbate possible side effects.

Preparation
Because any food, liquids, drugs, and/or medications consumed will affect the urine, an examination of one's diet is recommended before starting urine therapy. Keeping a daily nutrition journal will help to chart the body's reaction to different foods and the body's digestive patterns. High consumption of meat, for example, is thought to elevate the body's acid levels, particularly just before fasting or undergoing an intensive regime of urine therapy.

Users of urine therapy often keep regular measurements of their acid and alkaline levels, glucose levels, and blood pressure. Monitoring the body's acid and alkaline is accomplished by keeping track of the pH level in the saliva or urine. The ideal pH range for saliva is 6.4 to 7.2; below 6.4 too acidic, above 7.2 too alkaline. Urine pH normally varies from 5.0 in the morning to 8.0 in the evening.

Glucose tests measure the level of sugar in the blood, by millimoles per litres (mmol/l). Normal levels range from 4 to 8 mmol/l during the day, with the lowest levels occurring in the morning and higher measures occurring after meals.

At-home testing kits for pH levels, glucose levels, and blood pressure are available in most stores that carry over-the-counter (OTC) medical products.

Precautions
Urine that will be taken orally should never be heated or boiled. On the other hand, some advocates suggest that boiled urine is best for massage purposes. Boiling should be done in a stainless steel pot.


Proponents are divided on whether or not pregnant women should practice urine therapy. Some believe that it is beneficial for both the mother and the growing fetus. Others advise against it. Because of the fertility properties of urine, birth control pills may be less effective.

Several pre-existing conditions preclude the use of urine therapy. Heavy smokers and people taking therapeutic or recreational drugs should not use their own urine. Those suffering from bladder infections or venereal disease are also advised against ingesting their urine.

Side Effects
Side effects can include headache, diarrhea, itch and rashes, pain, fatigue, soreness of the shoulder, and fever. An increase in symptoms of the specific illness may also occur. These symptoms can last from a week to six months. Starting the therapy with small doses can alleviate some of these side effects.

Research & general acceptance
Much of the current research is based on anecdotal evidence from users of urine therapy. Nonetheless, its popularity is growing worldwide. The first World Conference on Urine Therapy was held in 1996 in India. Two more conferences were convened at three-year intervals: in 1999 in Germany and in 2003 in Brazil. In the United States, urine therapy advocates cite the works of John W. Armstrong, The Water of Life: A Treatise on Urine Therapy, Martha M. Christy, Your Own Perfect Medicine, and Coen Van Der Kroon, The Golden Fountain.

Although components of urine are extracted to create a number of topical creams and fertility drugs, the drinking of urine is not generally accepted by the Western medical establishment. Dr. Andrew Weil, a noted physician, self-healing expert, and author of Natural Health, Natural Medicine, posits that reports of positive results experienced by users have more to do with placebo effects than with the actual healing properties of urine. According to Weil, treatments that elicit negative emotional charges can be result in benefits when the treatment "mobilizes attention and belief." In other words, adhering to urine therapy in spite of one's loathing for it increases its placebo effect.

Training & certification
No training or certification is required.

Im not sure if Im open-minded enough to drink urine... I would have to be really desparate... But I have in a sense see the urine therapy work on Dad.... He had a real bad toe nail fungus, and he would miss the spot alot when urinating... Needless to say his feet got at least a daily dose of urine, and it seemed to actually cure his toenail fungus.

Unless I see solid research to support it's use ... I think I'll stick to my notion of urine being a waste product - at least as far as any internal application.

Topically, I would be more open to the idea but it would be a last-resort as far as I'm concerned.

That's POV at this point anyhow.

URINE & UREA Therapy Part One

By Walter Last

I have been fond of urine therapy for many years but except as a
homoeopathic remedy, I have rarely mentioned it to patients as our
social conditioning invariably prompted a strong negative reaction.

The many and varied case histories described by John Armstrong in
his 'The Water of Life' are certainly impressive. However, this book
was first published fifty years ago, Armstrong did not have any
academic qualifications and without the strong support of other
therapists, there were not many convincing reasons for patients to
try this method.

This has changed dramatically in recent years with the publication of
the several more books on urine therapy. Very good are the self-
published books by Martin Lara at www.uropathy.com, 'The Miracle of
Urine Therapy' by Dr Beatrice Bartnett and especially 'Your Own
Perfect Medicine' by Martha Christy.

Martha Christy's Experience

Martha Christy cured herself of a host of incapacitating illnesses,
including intestinal inflammation or Crohn's disease, chronic fatigue
syndrome, thyroid disorder, severe chronic kidney infections, food
and chemical allergies and severe endometriosis.

The conventional approach with drugs and six operations did not help
and probably intensified her problems. Natural therapies worked for a
while, but a difficult pregnancy disabled her again and this time
even the natural therapy she tried was not good enough, including $US
15,000 spent in an alternative cancer clinic in Mexico for bleeding
pelvic tumours.

Most of the time she had to stay in bed until one day she was
introduced to urine therapy and before long, all her health troubles
were over.

Instead of just writing another 'How I Did It' book, she went to
university libraries and hired a research firm to search the
scientific and medical literature for publications on the use of
urine and products derived from it.

She was amazed by what she found. There were not just hundreds but
rather thousands of published articles. There are probably more
articles published about urea, the main ingredient of urine, than
about any other organic substance. Mrs Christy devoted a large part
of her book to explaining and summarising this scientific and medical
evidence and also provided detailed references of published papers.

In addition, she lists many testimonials of individuals as to the
effectiveness of urine therapy in overcoming AIDS, Candida, Cancer,
Colitis, Depression, Diabetes, Immune deficiency, Multiple Sclerosis
and other diseases.

Scientific Evidence

The most amazing aspect of urine therapy is its effectiveness in such
a wide range of different diseases.

There are several reasons for this. For one, urine contains
antibodies and immune stimulating factors against all viruses,
harmful bacteria or fungi that we may harbour in our body. The
researchers stated that even minute amounts of antibodies, sometimes
so low that they cannot be detected with conventional methods, are
effective in preventing and treating diseases.

There are reports investigating and describing the curative effects
of urine therapy on a wide range of infectious, fungal and viral
infections, such as hepatitis, poliomyelitis and AIDS. Urine is
especially effective against allergies, autoimmune diseases and other
disorders of the immune system.

To switch off an allergic reaction one must put a few drops of urine
under the tongue, collected during the reaction, or the urine may be
homoeopathically diluted and some of it kept in the mouth for a few
minutes.

When drinking urine routinely, allergic reactions may not occur at
all, thus doing away with the need to identify which substance one
has been reacting to.

Curing Cancer 'Child's Play'!

Cancer, too, responds very well to urine therapy. Very effective
appears to be the urine fast employed by Armstrong.

His first cancer patient was a nurse who had herself cared for over
fifty cancer patients. She knew that any cancer pain is mild as
compared to that experienced from the regrowth commonly occurring
after medical intervention.

Usually visible tumours such as with breast cancer disappeared within
three weeks, but sometimes even in one week. Armstrong called curing
cancer 'child's play' except if patients had already received
chemotherapy or radiotherapy.

I also know personally of several cases of cancer cures exclusively
or mainly due to urine therapy; sometimes the addition of urine
therapy to a natural cancer program appeared to be responsible for
the successful outcome. Martin Lara has an interesting breast cancer
cure with urine injections on his site www.uropathy.com.

Most of the scientific cancer reports concentrate on urine extracts
of anti-cancer agents. One such extract is called H-11, another HUD,
others Retine, DHEA hormone or Anti-neoplaston.

While good results were reported with all of these, it is very
expensive to treat patients in this way and the treatment would be
even more effective and much cheaper if all of these cancer-fighting
ingredients of urine were used together by ingesting whole urine.

Surprisingly, uric acid is not just the villain causing gout; it is
also a proven anti-cancer agent and rejuvenating factor. However, the
crown of the cancer-fighting urine ingredients may actually belong to
urea, the most common chemical in urine.

Benefits of Urea

Only recently has it been discovered that the concentration of urea
in the blood has a key role in regulating at least 7 major pathways.
Urea levels are low with cancer and many other diseases. The
frequency of cancer and especially of multiple tumours and metastases
increases greatly if urea levels are low.

Urea is not just a waste product or the end state of the protein
metabolism as commonly assumed. Biochemical research has shown that
urea, both from internal sources or externally supplied, is used by
the body as a raw material to synthesise amino acids and proteins.

This is especially important for patients with kidney failure. These
deteriorate quickly on a diet containing normal amounts of protein,
but do much better if the diet is extremely low in protein, below 20g
per day.

Another research report states that patients with kidney failure on
very low protein intake show progressive clinical improvement when
receiving added urea, which then becomes the main source of nitrogen
for protein synthesis. Urea may thus be the main reason why urine
therapy and especially urine fasts are so successful with kidney
failure

I believe that it is the best and sometimes the only successful
therapy. One of my patients with kidney failure continued to
deteriorate on a fast of fresh vegetable juices, but was cured when
fasting on urine for 2 weeks.

Another helpful factor is the role of urea as the best natural
diuretic and far better than synthetic ones. This is not only
important for those with deem or fluid retention because of kidney or
heart weakness but especially with fluid pressure on the brain or
spinal cord or in the eye with glaucoma.

With this, additional urea is important with brain tumours, stroke,
meningitis and other inflammations of the brain and spinal cord. One
report cites the case of a massive brain tumour reappearing 3 months
after surgical removal of another brain tumour. The patient received
256ml of 30% urea. After 2 hours the tumour had completely
disappeared.

When applied externally, urea has a very beneficial effect on wound
healing, including infected wounds, burns and ulcerating tumours. The
urea crystals may be directly packed into the wound or a strong or
saturated solution may be applied.
Urea Pioneer

The use of urea in cancer treatment was pioneered by E V Danopoulos,
a Professor of Internal Medicine in Athens. Urea was notably
effective with liver cancer and in preventing the development of
metastases or secondary tumours. He used 45g of urea daily in 6
divided doses for 40 days and then 20g in 3 doses for 2 years. 45g
correspond to 6 rounded teaspoons, while 20g are about 3
teaspoonfuls. The results were published in The Lancet in 1974.

But as it happens so often with discoverers of cheap cancer cures,
Danopoulos lost his position after this publication and was forced to
retire. Other research has shown that the effectiveness of urine in
killing microbes depends largely on its concentration of urea and is
better, the higher it is in urea.

Other Beneficial Ingredients

Another important reason for the effectiveness of urine is its
content of countless hormones, enzymes, vitamins, trace minerals and
other valuable biochemical. Some companies make a fortune by
extracting some of these substances from collected urine on a large
scale. The fact is that urine is not a waste product full of harmful
substances as is commonly believed, but instead a treasure-trove of
just the right bio-chemicals that we need for our condition.

The main function of the kidneys is to regulate the concentration of
all these countless bio-chemicals in our blood. Any unwanted surplus
is as harmful as any deficiency. However, any hormone or enzyme
removed as surplus at one time may be in short supply a few hours
later.

Furthermore, with advancing age, our hormone and enzyme production
declines to sub-optimal levels while the kidneys become less and less
efficient in retaining needed ingredients.

Therefore, it greatly helps, especially with chronic degenerative
diseases and advancing age to recycle these valuable hormones and
enzymes.

Urine Therapy with Homeopathic Preparation part Two

Urine Rejuvenates

Urine ingestion is frequently praised as possibly the best
rejuvenation therapy known to us. It certainly rejuvenates the hair
and the skin. The youthful appearance of many Buddhist monks is
ascribed to their routine urine ingestion.

It seems that historically all cultures have used urine for medicinal
purposes. It is praised in ancient Egyptian papyri, was used in
ancient Rome, in China, India, America as well as European countries.
The Journal of the American Medical Association states that
in 'primitive medicine' there is scarcely a disease that has not been
treated with the external or internal use of urine.

A 5000-year old Sanskrit text describes in a religious context in 107
verses the virtues of urine. In one verse Lord Shiva, the great
destroyer and re-generator, says that he who drinks urine sweetened
with honey is cleared of any ailment within 6 months. He attains
brilliant brainpower and his voice becomes melodious.

One well-known urine ingredient is melatonin, the hormone of the
pineal gland. It regulates our body rhythms linked to the dark-light
cycle. It is produced in the night and mostly expelled with the
morning urine. However it is now highly valued as protecting us from
cancer and ageing. Melatonin sales in California are said to top
aspirin sales. But why pay much money for just one beneficial
ingredient when there are thousands for free?

Problems may arise from ingesting large amounts of urine if one takes
medicinal or recreational drugs as these drugs may be recycled and
cause an overdose. The same may happen if one ingests other toxic
substances. However, harmful substances are not necessarily
reabsorbed and may just cause diarrhoea instead.

How to Use Urine

There are various ways to use urine but generally it is advisable to
start with small amounts. This is not only to get accustomed to the
taste of it, but also to slow down any healing reactions. These occur
commonly with methods that genuinely improve our health.

Reactions may manifest as diarrhoea, vomiting, nausea, skin problems
or a temporary flare-up of old health problems prior to their final
elimination.

Start with a few drops or a teaspoonful. These may be swallowed
immediately and you may wash it down with some water or juice or eat
a piece of fruit. However, with allergies and immune disorders it is
more effective to leave the diluted urine under the tongue for a few
minutes.

An allergic reaction can best be stopped or neutralised by collecting
the urine when the symptoms are worst, however in practice you try to
use it as soon as you notice the first symptoms.

Some researchers suggest that the proper dose can be found by slowly
putting single drops under the tongue until the taste and temperature
of a drop can no longer be distinguished. This is then the
neutralising dose. Each subsequent day you may double the previous
dose or the number of times you take them per day until you reach
your target amount or the dose that you are comfortable with.

A suggested amount for general health improvement and rejuvenation
are 2 or 3 cupfuls daily. More may be temporarily used to overcome
serious diseases, especially AIDS and other viral, bacterial or
fungal infections, cancer and kidney diseases. Drink only on an empty
stomach well before meals as a large amount or strong urine after a
meal may cause digestive upset. You may also need to take half a
teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate one or more times daily before meals
to minimise allergy problems due to overacidity.

In these cases ingest about one litre, the more the better, while for
a limited period, say several weeks, try to drink all or most of your
urine, except in the evening so that you do not have to get up at
night. However, that may only be suitable during a cleansing period.

My favourite way to flush the kidneys is to drink 1 to 2 litres of
urine before breakfast. Start drinking all the urine when you first
wake up, lets say around 5 o'clock. Then you may urinate again and
drink another lot about 6.30 and then again at 8 o'clock. Either
drink sufficient in the evening so that the first morning urine is
not too concentrated or otherwise dilute strong urine with sufficient
water. If the urine is cloudy, as it easily happens during a healing
reaction, you may use only a small amount. If the body is reasonably
clean, then the urine does not taste offensive and reflects the
aromas of the previous meal. The second morning urine, especially
after drinking a fair amount of liquids after rising, is usually very
mild and better to get accustomed to then the first morning urine.

Martin Lara (www.uropathy.com) describes injecting 1 ml of fresh
urine once or several times into a muscle, e.g. thigh or buttock.
This is especially recommended for cancer, strong viral infections
and other serious diseases, it also helped to eliminate asthma.

The Urine Fast

The most powerful form of urine therapy is a urine fast which
combines two of the most effective natural healing methods, urine
therapy and fasting. This is the method routinely used by John
Armstrong and described in his book The Water of Life. Armstrong had
amazing results with this method and I also found it very effective.
A main advantage of a urine fast over a water fast is a greatly
increased amount of energy so that the fast can be continued for a
much longer period. I believe that it is also more effective than a
fast or cleanse on vegetable juices.

During the urine fast you drink all of your freshly voided urine and
initially some added water to bring the daily volume to about 5
litres. However, I suggest to gradually increase the ingested amount
to full intake already before starting the fast while gradually
reducing the food intake to just a few pieces of fruit or vegetable
salad and fresh vegetable juices.

It is possible that this combination, a small amount of fresh fruit
or vegetables and juices together with ingesting almost all of your
urine is already sufficient to cure your problem. If after a week or
two you feel that you do not make enough progress, you may then
proceed with a strict urine fast for 1-4 weeks.

You end the fast by using again only a small amount of fresh raw
fruit or vegetables for another week or two, gradually increasing the
amount and variety of fresh food.

As with all fasts or cleanses, it is important to keep the bowels
moving daily. Initially I suggest using a tablespoon of Epsom salts
together with a crushed clove of garlic for several mornings or
evenings when starting with a greatly restricted food intake.

This will help to avoid or minimise unpleasant cleansing symptoms,
such as weakness, pain or nausea. However, in many cases the ingested
urine will already over-stimulate the bowels with liquid discharges
and then no further action is needed.

Ingest only your own freshly voided urine. Normally urine is light
yellow, clear and sterile, especially if collected mid-stream, but
during reactions it may become offensive and cloudy. When ingesting a
large part of your urine you should check to make sure that it is not
too acid. The morning urine normally is slightly acid, but during the
day it should be slightly alkaline.

You can buy litmus or pH paper from a chemist. Litmus paper is red
when dipped into an acid solution and blue when alkaline, neutral or
pH 7 is in between both colours. With pH paper you get a colour chart
to compare. If the urine remains acid during the day, which usually
happens with allergies and a weak sugar metabolism or if eating much
fruit, then take 1/2 teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate once or several
times daily in water, but not within 3 hours after meals, until the
urine remains alkaline during the day.

However, those with cancer should use potassium bicarbonate (from a
chemist) instead of sodium bicarbonate. If the body is too acid,
sometimes the emotions become overly sensitive with a tendency to
inflammations, mouth ulcers and strong skin reactions.

With cancer, oedema and infectious diseases the effectiveness of
urine therapy can be increased by taking daily 1-6 teaspoons of urea
(e.g. in water or juices) in divided doses; you may take 3-6
teaspoons when only a small amount of urine is ingested and
progressively less with larger urine intakes, leaving it off
completely when nearly half or more of the daily urine is ingested.

Homoeopathic Urine

A final possibility is to use urine in homoeopathic form. The
simplest way to prepare it is as follows:

To one teaspoon of non-chlorinated water add one drop of fresh urine.
Shake it vigorously in a small bottle about 50 times with a sharp
downward stroke. One drop of this mixture is then added to another
teaspoon of water, shaken again and then the whole procedure repeated
a third time. Place 3 drops under the tongue several times daily.
When it is used up, wait a few days and then prepare a new
homoeopathic remedy. In order to find the most effective potency add
one more step to each subsequent preparation of the remedy, that is
dilute it a fourth, a fifth and a sixth time and so forth. Start with
such higher dilutions, say sixth potency, especially if a remedy is
made from fluid such as pus derived from a diseased part of the body.

An alternative method is even simpler and recommended as an
introduction to urine therapy and at times when cupfuls of urine are
not tolerated.

To 1 tablespoon of morning urine add 4 or 9 tablespoons of non-
chlorinated water. Shake 50 times with a sharp downward stroke, and
take a spoonful several times during the day; keep in the mouth for a
minute before swallowing.

Martin Lara (www.uropathy.com) developed a `universal remedy'
supposedly effective against all microbes. Dilute 2 drops of urine
with 1 tablespoon of non-chlorinated water. During an infection keep
one drop of this under the tongue every 2 hours.

Homoeopathically energised remedies should not be exposed to strong
magnetic or electromagnetic fields. Keep this urine remedy only
lightly covered in a cool place but not in an electric refrigerator,
and make up fresh daily.

Social Considerations

The main problem when starting urine therapy is our social
conditioning. You may overcome that by reading and contemplating
about the expected health benefits.

The taste of urine is not normally offensive, except if the body is
rather polluted or when fasting or with strongly concentrated urine.
Therefore, dilute strong urine, start with a small and gradually
increasing amounts or have a day on fruit before starting to ingest
urine. Minimise salt and strong spices in the diet when on urine
therapy.

An easy way to drink urine or any other unpleasant fluid for
beginners is by breathing only through the mouth and possibly
pinching the nose until the mouth has been rinsed with water or juice
or a piece of fruit may be eaten.

External Use

For skin problems such as burns, wounds, gangrene, psoriasis, eczema,
dermatitis, fungus problems ageing skin as well as over inner
tumours, inflammations and diseased organs a urine or urea pack or a
combination of both is very effective: keep the affected area covered
with a folded cloth well moistened with urine or concentrated urea
solution, put another cloth or plastic sheet on top, renew several
times daily.

Urine becomes more alkaline when standing for a few hours and is then
more effective than fresh urine for external applications. However it
also smells much more and fresh urine seems to be adequate in my
experience. With gangrene, dead flesh, skin infections and open
cancer and ulcer sores it is even more effective to saturate the
applied urine with urea, that also removes offensive odours. With
weeping or suppurating wounds, especially if associated with foul
odour, it is also very beneficial to cover the area with dry urea
crystals.

Urine can be concentrated by leaving it for several hours in a flat
dish in the sun or a warm place. This has been recommended by
Armstrong for friction rubs to rejuvenate ageing skin. Armstrong also
recommended urine packs over tumour sites or diseased organs in
addition to rubbing the body daily for two hours with small amounts
of urine.

The main problem with urine packs is the offensive odour. You may try
to prevent it by sealing the pack with a good tape, such as duct
tape. You may completely seal it and keep the pack moist by injecting
fresh urine several times a day with a syringe.
