Urophagia

Urophagia is the act of drinking or otherwise consuming urine, whether as a cultural practice, a proposed remedy, or a survival response.

Urine therapy: The practice of using one's own or another person's urine as a purported health treatment. It is the best-known modern medical claim associated with drinking urine.
Urine: A liquid waste produced by the kidneys and excreted through the urinary tract. Its contents and variability determine the effects of consuming it.
Evidence-based medicine: Clinical decision-making that integrates research evidence, professional expertise, and patient circumstances. It distinguishes tested treatments from claims made for urine therapy.
Cow urine: Urine from cattle, used in some South Asian religious and traditional medicinal practices. Its ritual and medicinal roles show that urophagia can involve animal rather than human urine.
Survival cannibalism: The consumption of human remains to survive extreme scarcity. Both practices are discussed as emergency responses, though urine is not a source of meaningful nutrition.
Urea: A nitrogen-containing compound formed when the body breaks down proteins and excreted in urine. The kidneys must remove urea, and reingesting it adds to the body's waste burden.
Placebo effect: A beneficial change associated with treatment expectations rather than the treatment's specific biological action. It can help explain perceived benefit without showing that urine itself treats disease.
Panchagavya: A Hindu ritual mixture made from five products of the cow, including urine and dung. It places cow urine consumption within a specific ritual mixture.
Urine therapy in Ayurveda: A traditional Ayurvedic text that describes therapeutic uses of urine. It is a specific historical source for prescribed urine consumption.
Osmoregulation: The regulation of water and dissolved-solute concentrations in an organism. It explains why urine's concentration affects whether consuming it helps or worsens dehydration.
