How does Urine Therapy work to treat a rash?

In the West, the thought of urine therapy is simply outrageous and complete snake oil. In the East it is a different story all together. Millions and Millions of Chinese, Japanese, Indian (peoples of India), Russian and many others use urine therapy as a practical form of healing and natural medicine. Many here in Japan say it gives them energy, some say it helped them conceive when nothing else helped, others use it on there skin and have said it cleared their various kinds of rashes. Science knows that many vitamins, minerals, salts, hormones and other nutritional components are found in urine. For those that practice urine therapy, many believe that small indicators of illness are in the urine and when reintroduced into the body the immune system is able to read it like a computer that reads code allowing the immune system to send needed support to the most needed area's. Your question is about the skin. Some of the most expensive skin lotions on the market contain urea which is a natural component of urine. Along with the nutritional components make it very good for skin. You can apply it directly or put it in your bath water. If drinking, always use fresh urine with-in 10 minutes of urination. If for the skin (external use only), you can use fresh or 4 day old urine.
