Urine is a product of  animal origin (jangama dravya) used in therapeutics. [Cha. Sa. [[Sutra Sthana]] 1/68-69]  Eight types of urines are described for medicinal uses such as: urine of ewe, she-goat, cow, she-buffalo, elephant, she-camel, mare and she-donkey. [Cha.Sa.[[ Sutra Sthana]] 1/93] These are used in the preparation of evacuation enema(basti), purgatives(virechana), poultice (upanaha), affusion (parisheka) and in antidote (agada) preparations. It is indicated in afflictions such as retention of faeces, urine and flatulence (anaha), generalized enlargement of abdomen (udara roga), abdominal lumps (gulma), piles, dermatosis (kushtha) and leukoderma. [Cha. Sa. [[Sutra Sthana]] 1/95-96]  Urines possess activity as digestive stimulants, antidotes to poison and vermicides. These are excellent in the treatment of anemia(pandu). [Cha. Sa. [[Sutra Sthana]] 1/97] Oral administration of urine pacifies [[kapha]], regulates peristaltic movement of [[vata ]] and evacuates morbid [[ pitta ]] through lower channels. [Cha. Sa.[[ Sutra Sthana ]] 1/98-99]
