Cucumbers and urine therapy
The "cold surface" idea is not even the most unexpected bit of Russian health advice. Other Russian doctors have attracted national notoriety for their unique takes on home treatment. Naturopathic healer Pyotr Popov created a YouTube sensation with a video suggesting that one should treat hemorrhoids by inserting a freshly-bitten cucumber up the anus. Folk healer Gennady Malakhov has written extensively on the benefits of urine therapy, advocating urine massages and urine enemas for bowel cleansing. For years, Malakhov even had a popular morning talk show on Russia's Channel One about healing practices. With advice like this, it can be easy for Westerners to dismiss Russian ideas about wellness entirely. Having Gennady Onishchenko as the country's chief health inspector doesn't help. Onishchenko, the nation's lead spokesman on matters of public health, is known for his creative and often hilarious medical advice. Whether it's blaming drunk driving on kefir or expounding on the dangers of foreign cuisine - advising Russians to stick to a "patriotic" diet of meat, cabbage and potatoes - Onishchenko's colorful public statements are often the subject of light-hearted jokes even by Russians.
