Therapeutic Potential and Concerns Regarding the Safety and Toxicity of Raw Camel Urine

Abstract

Numerous active ingredients and vital inorganic components found in camel urine are responsible for its therapeutic potential against several disorders. In recent times, however, there has been a growing concern about their safety. This has led to a state of ambivalence in conversations about its application. In this issue, Dogondaji et al. (2024) demonstrate that using camel urine is safe and non-toxic by studying the impact of raw camel urine on key parameters of kidney integrity in rats. It is anticipated that toxicity research pertaining to the medical application of raw camel urine would mirror its historic use in order to provide logical arguments about its safety regarding its therapeutic application. Even if there are persistent studies to prove that raw camel urine is safe for humans, it must be used carefully and sensibly.
