Urine therapy - the drinking and external application of one's own urine as a healing agent - is an ancient Eastern tradition, claimed by devotees to be the oldest of natural remedies. The former prime minister of India, Morarji Desai, drank a glassful of his own urine every day - and lived to reach his century! Coen van der Kroon was as sceptical as any westerner when he was first persuaded to try it for himself while staying in an Indian ashram. He had cut his foot badly but applying conventional antiseptics had no effect. When, in desperation, he followed local advice and wrapped his foot in a cloth soaked with his own urine, the wound began to heal completely within days. This experience prompted him to embark on a long journey around the world to research urine's history, uses and efficacy. The Golden Fountain, the most complete book to date on urine therapy, is the result of those investigations.
