The Golden Fountain - Complete Guide to Urine Therapy (Paperback)

Urine therapy - the drinking of one's own urine as a healing agent - is an ancient Eastern tradition. Now, Western devotees who swear by its health-enhancing properties are helping to spread its popularity in the West. It is, they say, the oldest of natural remedies. The venerable former prime minister of India, Morarji Desai, who was 99 and in excellent health when the author met him 1994, cheerfully admitted that he drank a glassful of his own urine every day. It was while he was in India in 1990 that Coen van der Kroon was given the opportunity to experience the therapy first-hand, following an accident. Afterwards, he embarked on a long journey around the world to research its history, uses and efficacy. This is a complete book on urine therapy. It provides an overview of its history, together with detailed case histories and a user-friendly guide to its application in relation to specific ailments.
