Take Your Pee Outside Urine TherapyTake Your Pee Outside is take on ‘take it outside’ meaning ‘take your drama outside’ only this time, it is an action someone can do for your better health and in situations where permitted/possible or on the side of a road when nature calls.  Talking a pee is okay with me and very much a natural healthy every day function but more and more I see the positive side of taking a pee outside whether in a forest, a meadow, Fall or Summer.

What is Pee?  Most know it as ‘number 1’ or ‘urine’ or ‘piss’ or ‘a piddle’ or even new to me ‘micturition’.

One definition AI generates:

Urine is the liquid waste product excreted by the kidneys in vertebrates, primarily composed of water, urea, uric acid, creatinine, inorganic salts, and pigments like urochrome, which gives it a yellowish color.  It forms when the kidneys filter waste products and excess fluids from the blood, reabsorbing useful substances while concentrating metabolic by-products for elimination.  In humans, urine is typically a clear, slightly acidic, pale yellow fluid stored in the urinary bladder and expelled through the urethra during urination. It serves as a key indicator of metabolic and renal health, with abnormalities in its composition often signaling underlying medical conditions

While the simple straight-forward definition by Cambridge Academic Content Dictionary:

the yellowish liquid waste that is released from the body when you urinate

liquid waste excreted by people and animals
Urine luck! This article is hydrating!

Why Take Your Pee Outside

Take your pee outside considers what it is made of (hint: mostly water), and how it is used commercially (hint: fertilizer).  For the fun of it, let’s explore more about urine, more than a drop in a bucket.
Urine consists of 91-96% water, and the rest is:
  • nitrogen (urea protein metabolism, creatinine, and uric acid
  • inorganic minerals/elements, sodium, potassium, chloride, magnesium, calcium
  • inorganic ions, ammonium, phosphates, sulfates
  • other in trace amounts, hormones, enzymes, carbohydrates, fatty acids, pigments

Adding Back to Nature

Water is good? So that is one reason to take your pee outside. It is mostly water only this time we are spreading it around – no concentrating it in one spot like a septic bed or an outhouse or for that matter, into the water treatment plants.  Let’s mention urea is used in skincare as it helps to keep moisture in, a natural exfoliant, and in low levels it is hydrating.  I remember my mother telling me about this cream with urea her pharmacist gave her to shed the hardened skin around the heel.  Everyone can relate to this especially if you go barefoot.  I got some of that urea cream (decades ago) and it worked!!  You put it on at night before bed then put socks on.  The heels are soft in the morning.  It truly works.  Some day you just remember reading this article and accept that you don’t have to pay for it, you produce it every day.

Other Purposes for Urine

For more appreciation of pee, here are some other purposes:

People I know did or still do urine therapy.  They are still around to tell the story and did not feel any worse for doing it.  Some noticed differences.  These people do not often mention it in conversation “hey, did I tell you that I am drinking my own pee every day?” as the judgment stand just around the corner.  People are not use to speaking about it let alone doing it.  I have never done urine therapy but that doesn’t mean I would not do it if I thought it would help with something.  For hydration and if I was stranded in a cave, it may save my life.

My Grandparents Had An OuthouseOuthouse

Have you been some place where there was an outhouse?  Maybe a portable potty?  Perhaps your cottage has an outhouse?  Growing up, my grandparents’ home had an outhouse just behind the house until I was about six years old then a bathroom showed up inside. My cousins and I would line-up before bed and that is why in the ole days there were chamber pots in the bedrooms for a night time pee.

Seriously, men take a pee outside a lot more than some may know…even in Toronto.  Just so easy for them and saves them time.  Yup, it does save me time when I am working in the garden which is 100 feet from the house or on a hike in the back woods with more time to explore.  As kids, a roadside stop happened more than I can count on two hands and two feet.

Acceptance of Take Your Pee Outside

Why waste the urine when it gives back to the land?  After all, all the animals urinate outdoors (wild ones for sure) from the cow to the horse.  After all it is mostly water and it fertilizes.

Before the age of 20, it never dawned on me that what I chose to put in my mouth would have such a dramatic effect on my well being.
On my path of discovery, I learned that our eating choices directly affected how much energy we have first thing in the morning or that it would build our immune system strength during flu season. Part of it was coming to understand how gentle nutritional cleansing directly helped overcome my health challenges. People keep telling me how beautiful my skin is or how I look younger.
As my studies continued, it became obvious that there is an intrinsic connection between the mind, body, and spirit which directly affects our health and happiness. Omegas are another critical piece of the wellness puzzle. The Auum omegas alone turned on some switches in my brain in just one day.
I have developed a deep appreciation for the wonderful miracle workers our bodies are in the recovery process.  Our bodies have natural intelligence.  I am passionate to share the connection between nutrition and wellness in my practice and my presentations.
