Paresh Rawal is making the headlines for his recent interview that has taken the internet by storm. The actor has claimed to have healed himself with the help of urine therapy or urotherapy. It is the process of drinking one’ own urine for healing. These claims have sparked a controversy online around the medical consistency of the measure adopted by the ‘Hera Pheri’ actor. In a conversation with The Lallantop, Rawal shared about the time when he was admitted to Nanavati Max Superciality Hospital after getting injured. “Veeru Devgan had come to visit when I was in Nanavati (hospital). When he got to know I was there, he came up to me and asked what happened to me? I told him about my leg injury…. He told me to drink my own urine first thing in the morning. He shared that all fighters do this, saying that ‘You will never face any problem, just drink urine first thing in the morning’. He told me not to consume alcohol, which I had stopped, mutton or tobacco. He told me to eat regular food and urine in the morning,” the actor shared,

Online Controversy
Some medical experts have expressed concerns over the mater on the internet and also warned against potential health risks. Internet’s famous ‘Liver Dc,’ Dr Cyriac Abby Philips, took to social media and responded, “Please don’t drink your urine (or others) because a Bollywood actor says so. There is no scientific evidence to support the idea that drinking urine provides any health benefits.” Dr Philips explained that urine contains toxins and waste that are actually removed from the body. “Consuming urine can be harmful, potentially introducing bacteria, toxins, and other harmful substances into the bloodstream. Your kidneys work very hard to remove toxic stuff out of your body through urine. Don’t insult it by putting it back in,” he wrote.
Several other doctors have expressed concern over the urine therapy. While the practice has been part of history since ages, here is hardly any conclusive data that suggests about scietifically proves substantial benefits. According to the American Cancer Society, “available scientific evidence does not support claims that urine or urea given in any form is helpful for cancer patients.”
