India
A religious Sanskrit text called the Damar Tantra contains 107 stanzas on the benefits of "pure water, or one's one urine".[3] In this text, urine therapy is referred to as Sivambu Kalpa,[3] taken from the title of the ancient text, Shivambu Kalpa Vidhi.[citation needed] Here, shivambu can be translated as "the waters of Shiva", and the phrase refers to urine.[citation needed] This ancient Indian text suggests, among other uses and prescriptions, massaging one's skin with aged, concentrated urine. In the Indian ayurvedic tradition, urine therapy may be called amaroli.
