Some of the Hindus even eat bits of cow dung with dinner.


In the Talmud, they do use animal feces and urine as medicine. "Nishdor" or ammonia water is probably stale urine--which can break down in to ammonia.

"A few examples can be found in Gittin 69a-Gittin 69b, where the ingredients of some of the “remedies” includes “the feces of a white dog” and “feces of pigeons”:

For a bronchial infection [levarsam], let him bring a nut-sized amount of ammonia [nishdor] water and a nut-sized amount of sweet galbanum, and a large spoonful of white honey, a vessel from Meḥoza, i.e., one that holds a quarter-log of liquid, full of clear [nekida] wine, and let him boil them together. And once the ammonia is cooked everything will have cooked. And if he is not able to do this let him bring a quarter-log of milk from a white goat, and let him drip it on three stalks of cabbage and stir it with a sprig from a marjoram bush. And when the sprig of marjoram is boiled all of it will be boiled. And if he is not able to do that, let him take the feces of a white dog and let him mix it with balm. And as much as possible let him not eat the feces because it causes the separation of the limbs.

As a remedy for hemorrhoids, let him bring acacia [akika], and aloe [ilava], and mercury, and silver dross, and a bundle [ḥumreta] of fragrant herbs [defilon], and feces of pigeons [ḥamimta]."
