Why do European civilizations have a soft spot for urine?
This will start with their history. Early Europe was not as civilized as it is now. At that time, diseases often broke out. Every time a disease breaks out, it will take many lives. European governments have tried many ways to solve it, but the results are not very good.

So why do they cause these diseases? In fact, in the final analysis, it is because of health problems. They are used to dumping shit out of the window, or they will solve it anywhere and find something to cover it up.

The same clothes can be worn continuously for 1 month, and the same hat can be worn continuously until it is worn out.

So under such circumstances, it is conceivable how dirty the clothes worn by Europeans at that time were! Because there is no such thing as soap, no matter how you wash it, you can't clean it.

Later, I accidentally found that washing clothes with urine is actually very clean, which is better than washing with water! As a result, the way of washing clothes with urine spread immediately.

It may sound disgusting to us now, but it is. Moreover, some people even gargle with urine. Because they think that since clothes can be cleaned, teeth should also be cleaned.

These habits may sound strange now, but they were commonplace for Europeans at that time. At that time, women basically carried flowers with them, just to cover up the smell.

If you don't use flowers, you will also put some dried flowers or spices made of flowers on your body. At that time, if people wanted to pass through the crowd, they had to put spices under their noses to avoid smelling the peculiar smell.
