Natural Cure: The Yoga View of Urine Therapy

The use of one’s own urine, or auto-urine in yoga is called AMAROLI, which gives complete immunity to a ‘sadhak’, or the seeker from his physical weaknesses, so necessary to practise yoga and accomplish VAJROLI, a stage in yoga.

How a master-yogi describes its importance and utility in yoga, may be of interest to the reader.

His Holiness, Swami Satyananda Saraswati, the head of the Bihar School of Yoga, has come out with some revelation in his prelude published to the printed report on the proceedings of the International Seminar, held by this school, at its ashram at Monghyr in Bihar, in 1977.

Swamiji has expressed his firm belief in the use of ‘Amaroli’, as an instrument of therapy.

His Holiness writes under his own signatures, in no ambiguous terms that:

“Since 1943, right upto 1978, I have never seen bad results from the use of ‘amaroli’, either in therapy, or for ‘vajroli’. Just recently a very ill gentleman approached me and asked my opinion on ‘amaroli’.

I suggested that he “try it for himself and see what happens. Now, two months later, he has recovered completely”.

Further, giving a rebuff to those who shun the use of urine even as a medicine because of its social stigma, Swamiji tells them in plain words: “If from the healing point of view, if ‘amaroli’ proves to be less dangerous than the therapeutic use of drugs, synthetic hormones and various other assorted chemical substances, if it proves less corrosive and nutritiously harmful than Coca-Cola and 7-UP, if it is less dependence-producing and intoxicating than alcohol, less toxin-producing than a meat diet, and if it is less distasteful than eating gelatin, manufactured from the hooves and tendons of animals, then I am sure it will be a boon to humanity.

I personally feel that we must state the facts on amaroli in as straight-forward, clear and direct a manner as possible. Then mankind may just possibly find that there are many other benefits hidden in the science of amaroli than originally believed.”
