Hi all,
Nice to read all posts, so far enough was mentioned about positive results of amaroli, has any one experienced any negative results. It will be interesting to know. Then, one will have both pros and cons to decide whether to practise or not.
Dhanraj
Hello Dhanraj,
the only negative effects I personally observed have been transitional, as I got used to the practice. This was headaches in the early days and a slight feverish feeling. You easily deal with these by going down to a smaller dose, and working up gradually. These effects have completely vanished.
Amaroli seemed to have less of an energetic feel the day after my vasectomy. might be just temprorary or might mean something. too soon to tell.
David, I look forward to your further experiments. I pick the practice up again for a few days. But still hard to tell the effects. I have a brain fog (which I used to have, but is rare now), in the afternoon for two consecutive days, but there are other factors like sex, foods.
Hi
I have been practicing amaroli for the last 2 years. I drink only the morning mid-stream. I have been at the peak of my health during this time and have never had a need to take any medicine.Before this I was a person who took ill quite easily and cold/cough troubled me a lot during change of season.
One observation which might be of interest is that I do fall sick but only for a day. To explain further lets say my wife and other members of the famliy have flu, I get it for a day in a very mild but noticeable form. But it is gone by that evening or at best next day morning without taking any medicines. I am attributing it to amaroli coz before this I never had a cold or flu which lasted less than a week.
Due to my profession I travel across the world frequently which used to make me sick often, due to drastic changes in climate (tropical India to a Canadian winter for eg.)But now I never have faced this problem.I know this is no “objective analysis” but am hoping may motivate those willing to try.

hi Heera, I am interested to know more. How much do you take? And how much did you start with? Any (initial) side effects?
I started for around 1 month, but on and off. I started with a few drops, or at most 5ml. Because there is no effects at all in the first week or so, I increased the dosage to 20ml or so after stopping for 2 weeks. But I suspect that my brain fog is really due to that–the brain fog disappear today, the day I stop amaroli once again to experiment. Still too soon to tell, though. And may be I take too much…
Alvin
Alvin, I doubt very much that your brain fog is due to 20ml of Amaroli. I take 250 ml every morning with no brain fog
Alvin;
I take only the early morning stream i.e as soon as I wake up. My ritual is as under:
1.I get up from bed and wash my mouth with water thoroughly
2.I catch the urine mid stream (leave the intial flow of 3 secs and the last flow of about 3 secs)
3.Drink the entire volume I have collected
This is followed by drinking 2 glasses of water and other activities of the day. In case my food in take the previous day has been bad (eg. very spicy or oily food) then I my bowel movement is 2-3 times in the morning with free motion. I have observed that this makes me feel good like some kind of purging has happened.
I have also used urine for acne and moderate eye infections in the family. In fact my observation of one day sickness was true with eye infection too. My wife had eye infection for about a week. As it was contagious I caught it after about 3 days, but for me it lasted only for a day in a very moderate form.
During this time I was treating my wife’s eye with my urine and she observed that the pain in the eyes had instant relief once the urine drops were put in her eye. This was of great use as we were camping in a remote area at that time.
I have not missed a single day of drinking for the last 24 months.

Hi Heera:
Make me one promise please> If we ever go camping together and I wake up with an eye infection, please don’t pee in my eye. You must have a very loving wife.

Here’s a celebrity endorsement for amaroli (not that it requires one). Former Indian Prime Minister Morarji Desai practiced and openly advocated amaroli all his life. He lived till 100. Also amaroli is still actively practiced in India in regions like gujarat. The practice finds mention in yogic texts like Hathayogapradipadika and extensive explanation in damar tantra.
My point is that the practice is not new and has a long proven track record of spiritual and medical applications in India.
Enjoy

>> You must have a very loving wife.
Midstream urine is a very clean, sterile substance. Our strong aversion to it is irrational. The door-knobs you touch every day without wincing are far more germ-laden. His wife may just be rational (though I have no doubt she loves him too).
Hi David:
I was just funnin about about peeing in my eye. I’m sure his wife loves him very much. I must say ,I really enjoy your post and your perpectives.

I knew you were being funny. My wife actively practices amaroli coz she is convinced of its benefits. All yogic processes are aimed at getting rid of the conditioning so that we get closer to divinity. And practices like Amaroli not only have health benefits but also help us to break social conditioning we have imposed on ourselves for ages(eg. peeing in the eye or drinking pee).
Yes, as david mentioned mid stream urine is sterile as it is a derivative of blood. I saw an eye drop for dry eyes called “Murine” (any ideas on whats the raw material )
Amaroli seems to be giving feedback to the body on its current state so that body can heal itself. Am sure atleast for now we cant nail down an exact cause and effect relationship between amaroli and its benefits. But its an observed and documented fact that it is beneficial for health and has curative properties. In India if you happen to be in the country side you might find people drinking cow urine right from the source . Indian traditional medicine has documented treatments for various diseases using cow urine.

Thanks. I knew that you were. Not knowing how they are taking it, I sometimes just make an effort to ‘protect’ the feelings of new posters from jokers and challengers like you and … me.
I worked in a liquor store yesterday and saw a liqueur called
“Amarula Cream”. I didn’t think I would like it for some reason.
Hello everyone.
I tried Amaroli some months ago with negative results, slight fever, general flue type of symptoms, and it just didnt feel like the right time . Two weeks ago I seemed to get a message from my body to try again so I started with 15ml, no negative results, over the past two weeks I have increased the dose to a full cup, thats a mug actually about 8 oz there are still no negative results at all. My brain is completely free of that foggy feeling I sometimes used to experience and my body has never felt more alive.
RICHARD
Is 8 oz 250 ml/cc?
I take about 100 ml every morning with the double amount of orange/carrot juice. In a cocktail like that I can sip it and enjoy the hormonal taste. If I am out of juice, I drink it as quickly as I can holding my breath and then take the double amount of water as a chaser.
I have taken the same amount all the time since I started a month ago.
Yea I think thats about the amount I’m not actually measuring it now.
Its almost at the top of a mug and thats probably about a third of a pint.
RICHARD
A question for anyone who’s practicing amaroli: I’ve been doing it for about 2 months now, and I haven’t experienced any of the effects described here. I’ve gradually worked my way up to about 1/3 cup (3 ounces, more or less), and am wondering if this is one of those practices where more is better? Will I not get any results unless I take more? And what about Lavazza’s method of mixing it with something else? That would probably be the only way I could double my intake at this point. Currently I mix it with about 8 oz. water.
Hello Meg,
no, I don’t think you need more of it. If you feel nothing, you have to make a judgement call: it could be helping you but you can’t feel it for all I know; or maybe it isn’t helping you much. My guess is that it is helping you but you can’t feel it, but it’s only a guess.
You also haven’t been doing it for that long. Remember, according tot the ancient texts, it takes several months for it free the practicioner from leprosy and tubercolosis!!
If you mix it, mix it with something you drink, not food; something which allows your stomach to open quickly and get it quickly into the bloodstream (which takes about 20 minutes). But avoid drinking it with something with fat in it either, because that will keep your stomach closed for a while.
If you take food with it, or too soon after, your stomach will stay closed for longer and your absorption will be slower. This could possibly reduce the effectiveness of the amaroli; I have a theory that the suddenness of the increase of ‘toxin’ levels is important for the effect.
