Zoroastrian Cleaning
[edit]Probably need a newer source than this for such an important topic, but apparently among Zoroastrians cow's urine went from being a preventative/cure against leprosy to being a common daily ablution to avoid disease and evil spirits until the early 20th century. In lieu of cow's urine, apparently goat or human urine was used as a less effective substitute. — LlywelynII 08:59, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

Likely error with no citation - urine use in urowave
[edit]Under the Uses section it says that urine is an ingredient required to produce certain prescription drugs and lists some examples with no citation. One of these "drugs" was called Urowave which when googled seems to provide no results that mention anything other than a medical device used for erectile dysfunction. Seems a little fishy 92.40.218.54 (talk) 20:26, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
- Those have been unsourced for 12 years, so they have boldly been removed. The lead sentence can stay as other drugs are mentions later in section.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 22:23, 18 August 2025 (UTC)
