one urine remedy [involved] jellyfish stings. it's a fairly well-known one, thanks especially to being featured on US t show Friends - where it worked, which apparently it doesn't in reality!
according to my mother, who's been stung, a jellyfish sting is so painful that you'd try anything to cure it. i should note that she didn't know about the piss treatment at the time, and so didn't test it!
as an aside, i notice that someone quoted in the article mentions the urea content of urine as being a reason for scepticism about its medicinal value, but i notice that many cosmetics contain urea.
