The logical course of action when you are sick is to take medication or see a doctor. However, tiger urine—an uncommon remedy—is generating waves in China!
Indeed, tiger urine is being advertised as a cure for many illnesses, and what's even more startling is how expensive it is. The price of one bottle of this purported therapeutic liquid is around 600 rupees. The South china Morning Post reported that a wildlife zoo in China's sichuan province has been offering bottles of Siberian tiger pee for sale, with the promise that it relieves sprains, arthritis, and muscular soreness. For 50 yuan, visitors to the Ya'an Bifengxia Wildlife Zoo can buy a 250-gram bottle.
Even how to use it has been explained by the zoo, which suggests combining it with ginger and white wine before applying it to the afflicted region. They also say that it is safe to drink, albeit it is not recommended for those who have allergies. Around the world, this unconventional approach has generated interest and debate.
The rules state that before administering tiger urine to the afflicted region, it should be combined with white wine and ginger pieces. This is meant to heal the sickness and lessen discomfort. Additionally, according to the zoo, humans can drink the pee, but those who are allergic should not.
According to a zoo employee, once a tiger uses the restroom, its pee is gathered in a basin. It's unclear, though, if the pee is cleansed before being sold. The employee said that only two bottles are sold every day, which is quite low. In 2014, the zoo even awarded famous candidates on a reality tv program with tiger urine as a prize.
In china, there has been much discussion about the marketing of tiger urine as medicine. It is severely disagreed upon by many physicians. There is no evidence that tiger urine offers any health advantages, according to a pharmacist from Hubei Provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. He said that employing untested therapies like this might be detrimental to tigers' protection efforts as well as the standing of traditional Chinese medicine. The zoo employees assert that they are legally permitted to sell tiger pee in spite of this.
