Yuckkss....guess that what you people got to say reading the subject, right?. Hmm, on my way back to Singapore, at Brisbane Airport, I met an Indonesian lady. We chatted a bit until she asked how old am I. I asked her the same question after answering her. She said she is 50 years old which I cant believe as she doesn't look a bit like those in their 40's. I thought I was talking to someone around my age or younger. I asked if she do the botox as a lot of Indonesian ladies did that. Guess what?. She said NO. She share her secret saying that she make it a habit to drink a glass of her urine every morning to maintain her youthfullness. Gosh! I was nauseating listening to her explaination. How on earth can someone do that. I never heard of this myth...is it a myth?. (Shrugh my head in disbelieve!). Anyone ever heard of such thing..urine maintain youthfulness of oneself? Do share.

Hello noyida,
That is really disgusting! One thing for sure, I won't do that just to look younger. This is the first time I heard drinking your own urine can make you look a lot better and younger... Oh! if that is another option, I prefer to have botox then.. *laughs*

I've heard of it several times before. And it says that drinking your own urine cures sevaral health problems as well as improve our skin condition. However, I never thought of trying it because im afraid that I might experience a great health problem in the long run. Imagine, our urine is made up of toxins being flushed by our body and we will gonna drink it again? Just think of it...

that's really really gross! there's a reason why your body is expelling the urine, and it contains waste material so i really don't bellieve in ingesting it all over again. yeeeweee. maybe it works for her. but ultimately i believe that youthful looks are definitely genetic mostly, so i wouldn't even think of trying her 'formula'. :)

Maybe she comfortable doing that..but like you, I will never do that. Seriously, reading the response already make me nausea imagining the procedure. Genetically you said, its quite true. We, my siblings are lucky to get the youthful genes from my parents. Most of us, doesnt look our age. So I think I dont need to do what that Indonesia lady did..importantly, dont worry be happy always. Right?

hi to you, me too i was shock when heard that kind of habit as well. Actually it was very outrageous that there such a people who do that, actually it was good drinking of that urine when it is clean, it was clean when you ate a vegetable and fruit that was a good idea i think... in fact even you have a wound it was good healing for that..... i was base on what i have been seen in tv and it was real because i saw when he was drink for it, in the Philippines. So i think it wasn't a bad habit as well....

I think this is not good and also too nasty to hear. I prefer using natural food and drink a lot of plain water.
I have seen people (in TV) use their urine to wash their hair!! Its their habit and make their hair good and nice. I dunno if thats one of the young secret. :P But, please dont drink urine, its so like olden or stone age people lah! :)

It should be if according to Islamic rite. Allah created fruits and vegetable not only for eating but there are reason for all those. The Malay have a lots of traditional way of using fruits and vegetable to make themselve looks young. Plain water with salawat if drinking it every morning will help you to look beautiful. What more with wudhu every day. Dont you worry, I will never drink my own urine... I rathers seep on leaves or flowers to survive rather than drinking my own urine. Thanks.

That sounds like it would be very UNhealthy to me, noyida. I know that people from different cultures have many different customs, but I have never heard of this one.
