im not sure about the pee for wounds but i do know its really good for clearing acne and it can also be used to help prevent some “stuff” that is, IF YOU”RE HEALTHY. im talking about with ur own pee. this has proved true as my grandmother used it and her face was as clear as day. you have to be healthy thugh, and use your own pee. meaning, dont save ur pee, but use it when u have to pee. catch my drift? anywho, never store pee as it will start to stink of ammonia, UNLESS u store it in an airtight container in cold area so bacteria wont grow in it(kno this cuz my mom had to save about a quart of pee for her physical).
