LOL FACT: Urophagia is the consumption of urine.
There are various reasons that
humans may consume urine. Urine was used in several ancient cultures for various health, healing, and
cosmetic purposes, practices which are still used by some people of these cultures today. In
Western culture, these practices are known as
urine therapy, a form of
alternative medicine. Other reasons for urophagia include attempting
survival, if no other potable fluid is available, though numerous sources advise against it. Also, some people consume urine as a
sexual activity, and members of at least one culture consume urine for
ceremonial purposes.
