“…The religious aspect of using camel urine stems from the fact that there has been convincing evidence that the Prophet Mohamed advised its use in the treatment of a wide range of diseases (Alhaidar et al, 2011). Anecdotal records of the management of many diseases, ranging from liver cirrhosis to skin and hair ailments, with the use of camel urine have been discovered (Christy, 1994).…”

“…Both camel plasma and urine show repression reactions on human platelets; in particular, lactating camel urine exhibits a strong repression reaction on human platelet aggregation (Alyahya et al, 2016). It has been observed that the strong platelet blocking characteristics of camel urine are quite like the reactions of commonly used antiplatelet drugs, such as clopidogrel and aspirin (Alhaidar et al, 2011).…”

“…John Armstrong was a British naturopath of the 20 th century who successfully developed a urine-therapy regimen, using it on many patients and curing them (Armstrong, 2005). The use of urine in the treatment of disease is more common than one would think, and electronic databases have numerous of literature on the different uses of urine (Alhaidar et al, 2011). Human urine is the most widely used, and interestingly enough, it is used in the treatment of different human diseases (Al-Harbi et al, 1996).…”

“…Urotherapy is classified under the category of alternative medicine, is a common practice in many countries, and is particularly significant in countries like India and China where alternative medicine is widely practiced (Alhaidar et al, 2011, Al-Abdalall, 2010. However, it is not restricted to these countries, with practitioners being found in the United States, United Kingdom and other European countries .…”

Background: The therapeutic use of camel urine has been known for centuries, with evidence of its use for medicinal purposes found in early folklore. It has been used to cure different diseases; however, the significant therapeutic benefits of urine have yet to undergo rigorous scientific evaluation. In this review, a summary of the scientific evidence that supports these therapeutic actions has been presented. Materials and methods: A literature search of different electronic databases including PubMed, Medline, SCOPUS, Web of Knowledge, and Google Scholar were conducted to identify published studies exploring the therapeutic effects of camel urine. 'Camel' and 'Urine', 'Medicinal properties', 'Natural products' were entered into the databases as key words. Reference lists of published reviews retrieved by the search were also searched to identify relevant papers. Result: There have been several laboratory and limited clinical studies providing evidence of the therapeutic effects of camel urine in the treatment of cancer, viral hepatitis and other viral, bacterial and parasitic infections. Therapeutic uses in the cardiovascular system have also been discovered, with regard to platelet and fibrinolytic actions. Conclusion:The exploration of the use of camel urine is of great interest to determine the efficacy of this practice, as well as the safety of the patients being treated. This review presented the benefits of camel urine, which were commonly drawn from small laboratory studies. Therefore, many more preclinical and clinical studies are needed to examine the efficacy and safety of the use of camel urine in in the treatment of disease.

“…Al-Abdalall [3] , proved that camel urine at low concentrations had no significant inhibitory effect on fungal growth, while inhibition can be obviously recorded after using high concentrations. Moreover, camel urine has been proved to have a potent antiplatelet activity against adenosine diphosphateinduced and arachidonic acid induced platelet aggregation; neither human nor bovine urine exhibited such properties [4] .…”

Khedr: Major Bioactive Acids in Camel Urine Using GC/MSThe major acidic and phenolic biogenic materials in adult-camel urine were characterized using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The adult-camel urine sample was treated with glucuronidase/ arylsulfatase enzyme followed by extraction on Sep-Pak ® C8 column. The water soluble compounds, including urea and creatinine, were washed out using water containing 0.4% trifluoroacetic acid. Ethyl acetate:diethylether, 1:1 v/v, was used as extraction solvent. The extraction residue was reprivatized with N-methyl-N-(trimethylsilyl) trifluoroacetamide followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis. The average concentrations of, phenol, p-cresol, salicylic acid, cinnamic acid, azelaic acid and benzoic acid were 4.0, 107.2, 42.7, 3.2, 68.6 and 490.6 mg/100 ml, respectively. The calibration range of each of these compounds was spanning the range of 1.0 to 50 ng/μl. The extraction recovery of all studied compounds was 100±0.8%. A standard solution mixture containing the major acidic and phenolic compounds was prepared to contain the same corresponding concentration in adult-camel urine. Both, adult-camel urine and prepared standard mixture were active against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Aspergillus flavus (fungus) and Candida albicans (fungus) after 72 h of incubation.
