Our beauty routines are significant to us because they not only help us get ready for the day (or night) but also help us express ourselves and become our most confident selves. That being said that there are hundreds of weird and wonderful beauty hacks people swear by.
While most of these kooky experiments were done by us during our childhood, some are from trendy apps. From Facebook to now TikTok, those same beauty exhibitionists introduced us to some of the weirdest trends. We often hear people talking about different beauty tricks that they tried out, and sometimes they sound really bizarre and stupid.
However, one woman might have trumped them all after she admitted to rubbing her own urine on her skin and drinking it, claiming it has improved her health.
Grace Jones, a 32-year-old woman from San Diego, California, has been making headlines for her unconventional approach to health and wellness. She claims that drinking and using her urine has transformed her life, curing her anxiety, eczema, and high blood pressure, and helping her lose weight.
Every morning, Jones starts her day by drinking a glass of her urine. She also snorts it, pours it into her eyes, and rubs it all over her body. According to Jones, the more aged her urine is, the more potent its nutrients are, so she saves her urine in a jar throughout the day.
Despite the skepticism of her friends and family, Jones has reported amazing results from her urine therapy. She claims that she no longer suffers from depression, anxiety, or brain fog, and has even shed 30 pounds since starting the practice.
“I’m completely off my blood pressure medication,” Jones said. “It has helped my skin problems, my hair looks healthier, and I’ve lost 30 pounds. I no longer have depression, anxiety, or brain fog.”
Jones’s commitment to urine therapy has also led her to adopt a plant-based diet and stop drinking alcohol, which she credits with further improving her overall health.
While the medical community does not support the claims surrounding urine therapy, Jones remains committed to her unconventional approach to wellness. She admits that she was skeptical at first and had to overcome the stigma associated with drinking urine, but she believes that it has been well worth it.
“I was searching for alternative methods, so when I saw someone on Instagram teaching urine therapy, I just fell into it,” Jones said.
Despite her enthusiasm for urine therapy, Jones acknowledges that not everyone is on board with her approach. She has only told a few friends and family members about her practice and has even kept it hidden from her boyfriend.
“I haven’t told my boyfriend yet because I don’t think his reaction would be positive. I’m just waiting for the right time. I have my own bathroom, so I can keep it hidden,” Jones said.
While the idea of drinking and using urine for medicinal purposes may seem strange to some, Jones is not alone in her beliefs. Urine therapy has been practiced for centuries in many parts of the world and is still widely used in some cultures today.
However, it’s important to note that the medical community does not support the use of urine therapy as a cure-all for various ailments. While using urine topically may have some benefits for the skin, there is no scientific evidence to support the idea that drinking urine can cure illnesses or provide any significant health benefits.
Dermatologist Whitney Bowe, MD, suggests that using urine topically for skin issues should only be done on a very regular schedule. She cautions against using urine that has been sitting for too long, as it may contain harmful bacteria.
While the medical community does not support the use of urine therapy as a cure-all for various ailments, Jones remains committed to her practice and believes that it has transformed her life.
