amaroli. from hathayogapradipika

[Guest guest]

people believe urine to be dirty because they

think of it as a waste product of the same quality as

he stool. we should review this concept thoroughly.

both anatomically and physiologically, it is not

correct to class urine and stool together, because the

two are produced in completely different ways and

leave the body by distinct and separate

portals. urine is an ultra-filtrate of the blood. it contains

water, hormones, enzymes, electrolytes, minerals and

by-products of protein and fat breakdown, which exceed the

body´s capacity to recycle them at that time. therefore,

these may be termed as wastes only in the same sense

that grains harvested by a farmer are surplus because

they exceed the capacity of the granary to store them

for later use. it is not that they are wastes n the

sense of being unclean, but only that their potential

value has had to be sacrificed. vital biomolecules such

as hormones, amino acids and enzymes are synthesised

at great metabolic cost to the body and their loss

from the body must be considered a waste indeed.

<br> furthermore, the human bloodstream is an absolutely clean

living substance, from which the urine is filtered and

collected in absolutely sterile conditions by the kidneys.

nor is there any question of bacterial contamination

in the ureters, bladder, or urethra, provided of

course, no infection is present. therefore, which part of

this process can be termed ¨´dirty´´? medical

scientists will have to consider this carefully if they wish

to understand the rejuvenating power of amaroli.

<br> the solid wastes are formed in an entirely different

way. the digestive tract is unsterile from the mouth

to the anus, and at no time has this solid matter

actually entered inside the body, or into the general

circulation. it has remained only within the hollow digestive

pipe, yielding up its nutrients without being itself

assimilated into the body.<br> then what is offensive about

urine? urine which contains a high concentration of

urea, uric acid and bile salts, has a definite pungent

taste and objectionable quality. however, these

constituents are the byproducts of protein and fat metabolism

and are contained in only very small amounts in the

urine of a yogi who consumes a diet low in protein and

devoid of animal products. that is the first requirement

for amoroli. the diet should be completely fresh and

natural, without excess salt, spices, and condiments.

highly refined and processed foods should also be

avoided. under these circumstances, the quality of the

urine is transformed. it is not that the practice

becomes ineffective or prohibited by a heavy, rich diet.

however, objectionable qualities of the urine are avoided

if the lighter diet is adopted....more coming
