This is How the Tradition of Drinking One’s Own Urine Began

Locals of the village claim that no doctor will ever agree to this fact, but since the time they have started drinking their own urine, they have been benefitted tremendously. Once, a very strong disease had gripped people of this village and it was spreading. The disease took away many lives too. The doctors could not treat them as well. This was when an old citizen of the village heard Morarji Desai preaching about drinking one’s own urine to cure every kind of illness.

When the old man told other villagers about this remedy, everybody refused to do so. But one man drank his urine and recovered completely. It is since then that no villager refuses to drink their own urine.

Medical Research

Many scientists have researched on this aspect and have prepared a report. The report suggests that one should not drink urine because human urine contains 95% water and 5% of such elements that can harm the body. Scientists have gone to an extent saying that even in worse condition when there is no water, people should not drink their urine.
