[edit] Verses of the Damar Tantra

Verses 1 - 4:

"Oh Parvati! (The God Shiva speaks to his wife Parvati.) Those who practice this method can enjoy the fruits of their meditation and this method. For this, certain actions have been recommended along with certain types of utensils. The Shivambu is to be drunk from pots made of gold, silver, copper, brass, iron, tin, glass, earth, bamboo, bones, leather, or a bowl made of plantain leaves. The urine should be collected in any one of the above mentioned utensils and should be drunk. However, earthen pots are the best for use."

Verse 5:

"The follower of the therapy should avoid pungent, salty ingredients in his meals. He should not over-exert himself. He should follow a balanced and light diet..."

Verse 48:

"Shivambu should be applied to the whole body. It is exceptionally nourishing, and can relieve all ailments."

Verse 87:

"Oh Parvati! If he massages his body thrice a day and night with Shivambu, his countenance will be shining and his heart will be strong. His body and muscles will be strong. He will float in pleasure."

[edit] Other yogic texts

Hatha Yoga Pradipika 3;96-97:

"In the doctrine of the Kapalikas, amaroli is the drinking of the midstream, leaving the first for it is too pungent (too much bile) and the last, which is useless. He who drinks amari, snuffs it daily, and practices vajroli, is said to be practicing amaroli."

Gyanarnava Tantra, Chapter 22:

"After realizing the exact knowledge of dharma and adharma,every aspect of the world becomes holy - stool, urine, ovum, nails, bones, are all holy things in the sight of that person who has explored mantra. O Parvati, different deities are living in that water from which urine is made, then why is urine said to be contaminated?"

Harit, Chapter 1:

"Human urine is basic, bitter and light. It destroys diseases of the eyes, makes the body strong, improves digestion and destroys coughs and colds."

Bhawa Prakasha, Verse 7:

"Human urine destroys poison, properly used it gives new life, purifies blood, clears skin troubles, is sharp in taste and contains many salts."

Yoga Ratnakar, Mutrashtakam Verse 11:

"Human urine controls bile in the blood, destroys worms, cleans intestines, controls cough and calms nerves. It is sharp in taste, destroys laziness and is an antidote to poisons."

one can age their own urine, boil off 75% of the water, and apply it topically to benefit the skin.
for daily internal use, one is recommended to drink two-thirds to three-quarters of the first morning urine. The practitioner is advised to catch the middle of the stream, because the first urine to exit the urethra may be contaminated with bacteria, and the last of the stream may contain sediment from the urinary bladder.
