IDK. are there any old medical texts which recommend taking a piss to relieve the symptoms of or cure a disease? I tried to find out but all I google came back with were articles on urinary tract infection.

I suspect since everyone pisses the idea that doing so was some how curative never gained traction.

There are semi-modern ones that promote using it as a topical treatment for skin irritation, particularly chronic dry skin.
