Peeing in Your Eyes? Expert Slams Viral Video Promoting Urine Eye Wash

New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu): A video has been going viral on instagram for not so good reasons. A woman can be seen washing her eyes with her own urine in the video and it has sparked widespread concern and backlash online. The clip was posted by a self proclaimed health coach in which she demonstrates the practice as a remedy for dryness, redness and irritation. The medical experts have condemned the method citing serious health risks. 

Dr. Cyriac Abby Philips, a renowned hepatologist, expressed his alarm over the video, stating, "Please don’t put your urine inside your eyes. Urine is not sterile." He added, "Boomer aunties trying to be cool on Instagram is depressing… and terrifying."

The video's removal from the platform did little to quell the backlash, with many users warning about the potential consequences of such practices. One user commented, "How do people justify putting the body’s waste back into the body?" Another added, "Putting urine into your eyes isn’t just misguided—it’s downright dangerous."

The controversy highlights the ongoing debate around responsible social media use and the promotion of unverified health remedies online. Experts emphasize the importance of consulting credible sources and medical professionals before adopting any health practices
