We have known Bear Grylls for a long time, and despite all of his achievements, his popularity gained a little boost when he decided to drink his pee on his popular TV Show, ‘Man vs. Wild’. However, it was a survival show, and the man did what he needed to do, to survive in places without water. But here, let’s meet this woman who’s made a conscious choice of drinking her own urine.
Ruby Karyo is a 30 year-old mom and writer from Maryland, US who has an interesting claim about her ‘urine therapy’. She has been practicing it for the last 11 years and has been drinking her urine and spraying it on her face since she was 19.
As per the reports, Ruby said that she first realized the benefits of rubbing pee on her face when her dad told her about it. Ruby informed that he used to say, “if you want to be a beauty queen use it on your face and your body”.
She also shared her regime of ‘urine therapy’. She elaborated-
“When I wake up I rub my morning pee onto my face and use it like a moisturizer, you can leave it on for a couple of hours, or leave it on all day. Every night when you go to sleep you can put it on your face.”
“For the first few days your face might look a bit raw, because all the impurities will come out, but then it will become clear.”
She isn’t the only one who believes in the power of urine therapy. Her boyfriend Brian Offenburger, 56, also claims to see the result after being consistent with the therapy. According to her, his hair started to grow back in just two months of drinking his own pee, when he was balding when they initially started dating earlier this year.
“He started seeing the difference about a month ago, after being consistent.”
Ruby says that many people laugh when she tells them about her unusual routine. She reportedly added, “People do think it’s strange at first but when I explain how great I feel they become more interested. I would not tell lies to people, I would not tell them to try something that is bad for them, this actually works.”
“I also drink about five ounces of morning pee about twice a week. It can lower blood sugar and cholesterol and help diabetes. My skin glows when I use it, I took a break from it a while back and my skin began to look dull. I feel younger and I look younger when I use it,” Ruby asserted. She also claims that having a vegetarian diet along with drinking urine works favorably. She also suggests one must avoid smoking.
I’m not sure about my ‘beauty’, but the image of using pee as a moisturizer has definitely scarred me for life!
