Urine was the traditional treatment amongst the Eskimoes for someone
falling through the ice on hunting trips. When someone fell in,  the
victim  was hauled out of the water, a cup was passed around into which
everyone would pee, while a couple of other hunters would stip the poor
wet victim of all clothing, and someone else would build a fire.  The
victim drank the content of the cup, which caused an immediate hot flush
in the body, and all the time the others were rubbing the victims skin
to dry them off, increase the circulation, and get dry clothes on them.
I guess it works. Those folks been doing that for 10,000 years.

Not my cup of pee,  --er, uh, tea!! however.
