URINE: INEXPENSIVE TREATMENT FOR SUNBURN

BOSTON (Wireless Flash) -- Here's a sunburn treatment that's hard to stomach: applying a little of your own urine on the burn. According to Susanne Althoff of "Natural Health" magazine, urine has been proven to reduce redness and prevent peeling when applied to sunburns. She says the typical treatment consists of rubbing a mixture urine and olive oil on the burnt areas of your skin, then leaving it on overnight. Amazingly, there is no odor. The urine sunburn treatment is especially popular in Germany, India and Japan, but Althoff says the technique is so effective and inexpensive that college students sunning their bods during Spring Break may want to give it a try.
