In the ever-growing library of things that make you question humanity, one Pune woman has carved out a special shelf. Nupur Pittie, who calls herself a medicine-free life coach<\/em>, recently shared a video on Instagram demonstrating what she believes is the ultimate natural eye care routine: washing her eyes with her own urine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, you read that correctly. Urine. Straight from the source. Fresh midstream morning sample, to be precise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Pittie, this liquid miracle promises relief from redness, dryness, and irritation. In her now-deleted post titled Urine Eye Wash \u2014 Nature\u2019s Own Medicine<\/em>, she calmly tilted her head back, squeezed the liquid into her eyes, and announced it would help her live a healthier life without modern medication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The internet responded with a collective what the hell is going on here?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Doctors were not amused. Dr. Cyriac Abby Philips, known online as The Liver Doc<\/em>, minced no words. \u201cPlease do not put your urine into your eyes. Urine is not sterile,\u201d he warned. He called the demonstration \u201cdepressing and horrifying\u201d and added on Instagram, \u201cYou need help, woman. This is not normal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other health professionals agreed that the practice is not only unsanitary but also potentially dangerous. Ophthalmologist Dr. Leon Vaughan explained that urine can contain bacteria capable of causing severe infections. Infections like conjunctivitis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia can all be transmitted through contaminated urine. \u201cIf you have certain diseases, it can even blind you,\u201d Vaughan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While doctors warned people to please, for the love of eyesight, just use clean water or see a professional, the online peanut gallery lit up with disbelief and memes. One commenter summed up the general mood: \u201cWhy, why, why? How do people justify putting the body\u2019s waste back into the body?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yet a few voices defended Pittie\u2019s right to do as she pleases. \u201cIt\u2019s her body, her choice,\u201d some argued. Others claimed that urine therapy has been around for generations. A man from Jamaica even declared, \u201cUrine a the best one!\u201d recounting how he\u2019d used it to cure his pink eye, despite the initial burning sensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Apparently, the logic goes: If it stings, it must be working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Historically, some cultures have believed in the healing properties of urine, but doctors today agree this belongs in the same category as drinking bleach to cure a cough. Just because something is \u201cnatural\u201d doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s safe\u2014or smart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Experts say that if your eyes are red, dry, or irritated, you should avoid any homemade eye potions. Instead, see an ophthalmologist and get proper treatment. As Dr. Vaughan put it, \u201cThe body takes care of itself to an extent, but this is not the answer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n In an age where almost anyone can go viral for anything, Pittie has shown there\u2019s apparently no limit to what people will do for clicks and \u201clikes.\u201d Whether this was a sincere attempt to promote natural health or just a bid for internet fame, the result was the same: an entire population collectively gagging and shaking their heads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re tempted to try a urine eye wash because you saw it online, please consider this your friendly reminder that not all trending remedies are good ideas. In fact, some are just plain gross\u2014and dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So maybe, just this once, trust the experts and keep the pee where it belongs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Viral Video Nobody Asked For In the ever-growing library of things that make you question humanity, one Pune woman has carved out a special shelf.
