3. Comfort and relaxation
For many, the shower is a place of relaxation. The warm water creates a calming environment and makes showering easier. This can lead to a more pleasant experience, especially for those who suffer from bath anxiety.
Potential health benefits
1. Natural antiseptic
Urine contains urea, which has antiseptic properties. Some people believe that urinating on minor cuts or scrapes in the shower can help them heal, although this is more anecdotal than scientifically proven.
2. Benefits for the skin
Some proponents argue that urine may be beneficial for the skin. The urea found in urine is found in many skin care products, and some advocate its use to treat conditions such as athlete’s foot. Although more research is needed, there is some speculation that natural compounds found in urine could help with certain skin conditions.
