A WOMAN claims she has given her skin a glow-up from drinking her own 6-month-old urine.
Lucy Aura began urine therapy in 2021, and she is convinced that it has reduced melasma, balanced her skin tone, minimized her pores, busted acne, and calmed redness.

She beamed at the camera in one video and told followers on Instagram that she has the confidence to go without makeup and filters because of how drastically her has changed.
“Honestly, guys, if my skin transformation doesn’t speak for itself, I don’t know what will,” she wrote in the caption.
“And my health is not even as amazing as it’s going to get. Urine therapy is exponential,” she added.
Her video has garnered over 10k likes and 1.4k comments on Instagram, and most of the users were not impressed.
“I can smell this video,” one wrote.
“I can’t believe I’m explaining this to an adult, but if your body needed something to be healthy, it wouldn’t be expelled as waste,” said another.
In another video, she held up a glass of dark brown liquid and explained that it was “six-month-aged .”
She then showed how she gargles, and even squirts the liquid in her nose and ears, before spitting it out and downing some fresh urine.
Urine therapy, also known as Urophagia, has been used by people across the world for centuries.
Bear Grylls famously drank his own wee on his survival shows, and India’s former Prime Minister Morarji Desai revealed that he used to drink a glass of his own urine every day.
SKIN TRANSFORMATION
Dr Zoe Williams spoke about urine therapy with Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield on This Morning several years back.
She said, “This is not new, people have been drinking urine for its proposed medicinal purposes for centuries.
“But of all the evidence out there, all the studies that have been done – it’s never been shown to be beneficial, and in some cases it’s actually been found to be harmful.
“We tend to think of urine as being sterile, and it is sterile when it’s in the kidney, but on the way out of its body, it does get contaminated with bacteria, so I wouldn’t recommend it.”
But there are plenty of people in the world who swear by the stuff.
Jan Schünemann, a sports coach from Germany, opened up about his experience with urine therapy in 2020.
He claimed it helped him beat depression and ward off other illnesses.
He said: “It is the perfect medicine for all diseases and viruses. It is the body’s own vaccination.”
Jan drinks between three and seven pints of his own urine every day.
ANCIENT METHOD
He also puts it in his ears with a syringe, and uses a glass to pour into his eyes, as well as rubbing the liquid over his skin.
He first heard of urine therapy, or Shivambu Kalpa, in 2017 and said he was very open-minded about it.
“I was kind of depressed and disconnected from myself and it really helped me to go in and dive deeper into my own consciousness.
“It helped me to explore all of the angles of my mind, the deeper layers of reality, and ideas surrounding hermetic laws, yogic traditions, the self-sustaining body, and the self-healing human vessel.
“Shivambu Kalpa appealed to me because I was always looking for a health remedy that anybody could use.
“It’s very natural and accessible for every human being.”
