Treatment with camel urine is the use of camel urine in the belief that it treats organic diseases in the human body, and some Sunni and Shiite Muslims believe in this treatment. There is a debate about the effectiveness of camel urine in treatment, and there is a scientific study published on the NCBI website that says that camel urine contains anti-cancer substances. The World Health Organization advises avoiding camel urine, as it has been linked to Middle East Respiratory Syndrome. Camels are believed to be involved in the transmission of the disease to humans, but it is uncertain how this occurs.
Camel is an important livestock species that plays a major role in the pastoral lifestyle by fulfilling the basic requirements of living. Traditionally, camel urine has been used in the treatment of human diseases. As for the health benefits of drinking camel urine, this has been proven through modern scientific research. Camel urine has an unusual and unique biochemical composition that contributes medicinal values. The chemical composition of camel urine showed the presence of purine, hypoxanthine, sodium, potassium, creatinine, urea, uric acid and phosphate bases. Nanoparticles found in camel urine could be used to fight cancer. Camel urine has antimicrobial activity against pathogenic bacteria. Its chemical and organic components also contain inhibitory properties against the growth of fungi, human platelets, and parasitic diseases mainly Fasciosis in calves. The healthy condition of the liver can be restored through the intake of diet and minerals in camel urine. Camel urine is used by camel owners and Bedouins as medicine in different ways. Bedouins in the Arabian desert used to mix camel urine with milk. Recently; The World Health Organization has warned against drinking camel urine due to the recent attempt to curb the outbreak of respiratory syndrome (MRS) in the Middle East. There is no scientific dosage for camel urine to be used as a medicine for various diseases, and the methods of forming camel urine and using it to care for patients differ from one country to another. Therefore, the purposes of this review describe the biochemical composition of camel urine to be scientifically extracted and formulated as a remedy rather than drinking raw urine and its effect on human health.

Al-Bukhari narrated in his Sahih on the authority of Anas bin Malik, he said: “The people came to Medina, and the Prophet, peace be upon him, ordered them to catch up with his shepherd – meaning the camels – and drink from their milk and urine. So he sent for them, and he came to them, cutting off their hands and feet, and gouging out their eyes. Qatadah said: So Muhammad bin Sirin told me that this was before the borders came down. The people of the language said: Airway is a disease that affects the stomach. And in the narration of Thabit on the authority of Anas: “The people were sick, they said: O Messenger of God, come to us and feed us.” And in the narration of Ghaylan, “they had severe emaciation.” And in the narration of Abi Saad, “their colors were yellow.” These narrations explain the concept of diseases that they had, such as yellowing of the color, severe emaciation, and bellies (dropsy).

And they may have given two ounces of camel urine from Skanjabin to half a mithqal or more, and likewise with goats’ urine.” Also, “It may be mixed with camel urine, and it may be limited to food and drink, and other people’s food may be added to it.”

A female researcher in Saudi Arabia developed a treatment for some skin diseases and some wounds using camel urine, where she produced an ointment prepared from camel urine and obtained a patent from King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia. For this idea, she received a silver medal and a certificate of appreciation from the International Invention Exhibition, which It was held in the Swiss capital, Geneva, in its thirty-third session in 2005, and she won the gold medal for the woman inventor from the World Intellectual Property Organization for treatment with camel urine.
