A student did a presentation on urine therapy in a seminar I did on
critical thinking. Three people (out of 20) reported having been
instructed at some point in their life about the advantages of urine
therapy. One was a schoolteacher who advised her students to wash their
face with fresh-morning urine to prevent pimples.

I guess urine luck, Michael Sylvester. There's more.
Martin Gardner has an essay titled "Urine Therapy" in "Did Adam and Eve
Have Navels: Debunking Pseudoscience" (2000). There's an abbreviated
version of it published as a 1999 column in Skeptical Inquirer at

Together both the skeptic piece and Gardner's provide way more than
anyone might want to know about such a tasty topic. But while it's
claimed to be good for almost any ailment, apparently no one has tried it
for psychotherapy. You could be the first.
