BACKGROUND

1. Technical Field

The embodiments herein generally relate to camel hump oil-based herbal compositions for treating of plurality of diseases. The embodiments herein more particularly relate camel hump oil-based herbal compositions for skin treatment, hair treatment, musculoskeletal pain treatment and a method of making the compositions.

2. Description of the Related Art

A camel is an important domestic animal in arid and semi-arid areas. It is used as a source of meat, hair, hides, milk and for transport (Ali et al, 1996). Physiologically, the camels are incredible animals, which are well adapted to the harsh conditions of their desert habitat with several adaptation mechanisms (Yagil, 1985; Souilem and Barhoumi, 2009). One of the camel's adaptation mechanisms is the hump, which is a giant mound of fat on the camel's back. There are great variations in the weight of the humps ranging from 8.5 kg to 44 kg, which accounts for 5% to 13% of body weight (Cardellino et al, 2005). The hump fats are mobilizable forms of energy to ensure the needs of the camels for maintenance, production and adaptation to the harsh desert environment (Bengoumi et al, 2005). It is believed by the inventor, without being bound to theory, that the camel hump fats may also serve as anti-inflammatory and healing agents to help the animal to cope with the work load and the harsh desert conditions.

The hump fat is an edible fat that contains a wide variety of lipids. The composition of hump fat may vary depending on the distinctive characteristics of a particular animal, environmental conditions, diet, and numerous other factors. It is, nevertheless, believed that the most typical hump fat will have approximately the composition described below.

The camel hump fat contains saturated and unsaturated fatty acids that are bound to other compounds to form fatty acid containing lipids, e.g., triglycerides and phosphoglycerides. The hump fat contains considerable amounts of essential fatty acids (EFAs), referred to herein as EFAs. The EFAs present in the hump fat include omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) isomers (El-Magoli et al, 2006; Kadim et al, 2002; Mirgani, 1977; Rawdah et al, 1994; Shibani et al, 2011; Tarik et al, 1994).

The weight percentages of the major fatty acids in the hump fat are oleic acid (C18:1) from 24% to 42%, palmitic acid (C16:0) from 24% to 35%, stearic acid (C18:0) from 10% to 20% and myristic acid (C14:0) from 10% to 12% (Kadim et al, 2002, Mirgani 1977, Shibani et al, 2011, Tarik et al, 1994). The hump fat further contains other fatty acids such as caprylic acid (C8:0), capric acid (C10:0), lauric acid (12:0), myristoleic acid (C14:1), palmitoleic acid (C16:1), arachidic acid (C20:0), gondoic acid (C20:1), erucic acid (C22:1), lignoceric acid (C24:0), nervonic acid (C24:1), CLA isomers (c9, t11-C18:2 and t10, c12-C18:2), and omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid (C18:2n−6), a-linolenic acid (C18:3n−3), γ-linolenic acid (C18:3n−6), eicosadienoic acid (C20:2n−6), eicosatrienoic acid (20:3n−3), dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (C20:3n−6), arachidonic acid (C20:4n−6), eicosapentaenoic acid (C20:5n−3) and cervonic acid (C22:6n−3). The hump fat further contains fatty acids with an odd number of carbon atoms such as undecylic acid (C11:0), uridecylic acid (C13:0), pentadecylic acid (C15:0), pentadecenoic acid (C15:1), margaric acid (C17:0), margaroleic (C17:1) and nonadecylic acid (C19:0).

The hump fat also contains other naturally occurring compounds including small amounts of cholesterol and considerable amounts of retinol (vitamin A), vitamin E isomers (α- γ- and δ-tocopherol), and β-carotene, the most potent precursor of retinoids (Al-Senaidy, 1989; Abu-Tarboush and Dawood, 1993; Al-Senaidy 1996).

The camel hump fat is an edible fat that has less cholesterol than the other animal fats and has a great nutritional value in meeting the need for fat in the human diet (Cardellino et al, 2005). In the ancient Persian medicine, al-Rāzī has used the camel hump fat in suppository preparations to ease a hemorrhoid pain (AL-Humadi and Al-Samarrai, 2009). The Camel Australia Export (http://www.camelsaust.com.au/) makes the statement on its website that the camel fat is suitable for manufacture of soaps, cosmetics and baby dermatology creams.

The terms skin conditions and skin diseases are used, almost interchangeably at times. They vary enormously from the mild conditions, which may affect only the appearance of the skin to severe diseases, which are totally incapacitating. The degree of treatment required, or even sought, varies accordingly. The skin complaints account for approximately 5% of internal medicine visits. Rash and pruritus are particularly common complaints and frequently occur together. The presence or absence of pruritus with a primary skin lesion can dramatically change the differential diagnosis. The generalized pruritus can present as the only dermatological complaint signifying an underlying systemic disorder.

The dermatology is a branch of medicine dealing with the skin and its diseases. The skin is one of the most vulnerable organs of the body. Though seldom life threatening, the skin disorders can be uncomfortable and may cause chronic disabilities. In addition to the above, the skin disorders can lead to a psychological stress because the skin is so visible.

The skin is the largest organ of the body, which helps in defining a look and appearance of a person. Any unsightly skin appearance, such as scarring, can affect both the mental and the physical well being of the person. Further it is more susceptible to growths, discolorations and disease because the skin is on the outer side of the body.

The musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) can affect the body's muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments and nerves. Most work-related MSDs develop over time and are caused either by the work itself or by the employees' working environment. MSDs can also occur in the patient's life outside work either through sport—tennis (elbow); music—guitar playing or a hobby—on-line tracing of a family tree. These external work events can be exacerbated by their daily profession. They can also result from the fractures sustained in an accident. Typically, MSDs affect the back, neck, shoulders and upper limbs; less often they affect the lower limbs.

The hair related disorders include loss of hair and reduced hair growth.

There have been many compositions developed for treating dermatological conditions but none of them treats all kinds of skin diseases and conditions. The prior used and currently available herbal compositions never used a camel hump oil for the purposes of treatment of skin conditions, any musculoskeletal conditions and for treating any hair related disorder such as hair loss and reduced hair growth. Hence there is a need to develop a camel hump oil-based herbal composition that can be used for treatment of a plurality of diseases.

The above-mentioned shortcomings, disadvantages and problems are addressed herein and which will be understood by reading and studying the following specification.

Skin Ailments

The embodiments herein provide anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-itching, antimicrobial agents, and other beneficial compounds with healing activities capable of moisturizing, normalizing and stabilizing the skin and can be used to aid in treating skin ailments. The typical skin ailments or conditions, which may be treated with the camel hump oil-based composition, include: dry skin, cracked heels, eczema, psoriasis, psoriasis arthritis and hyperkeratosis.

The dry skin is characterized by redness, lackluster surface, flakes, cracks, reduced frictional resistance, and even fissures. The affected person may experience a feeling of dry, rough, and itchy skin, as well as stings or tingles. Dryness is frequently linked to an impaired barrier function (Loden, 2003) observed, for example, in cracked heels, eczema, psoriasis and hyperkeratosis.

The dry skin is one of the most common cause of cracked heels. Cracked heels, scientifically termed as heel fissures, cause a lot of discomfort and may even be accompanied with bleeding.

The eczema is inflammation of the epidermis, the outer layer of the skin (Purwar et al, 2008) and is characterized by redness, skin edema or swelling, itching and dryness, crusting, flaking, blistering, cracking, or bleeding (Ring et al, 2006).

The hyperkeratosis is a thickening of the outer layer of the skin due to overproduction and accumulation of keratin, producing a tough and often dry area, and that keratin accumulation can be accompanied by hyperpigmentation in the stratum corneum of the epidermis (Vinay et al, 2004). The keratin is a fibrous structural protein, the key material making up the outer layer of skin and the key structural component of hair and nails. The hyperkeratosis cannot be cured but its symptoms can be alleviated by rejuvenation and hydration, combined with minimizing hyperkeratotic condition (Loden, 2003).

The psoriasis is a relatively common chronic inflammatory and proliferative skin disease, males and females equally, may be complicated by arthritis, termed psoriatic arthritis (Christophers, 2001; Costello and FitzGerald 2001; Lowes et al, 2007). The psoriasis is a condition characterized by skin dryness and hyperplasia (escalated cell growth rate) of the epidermal keratinocytes causing flaky scales. Other possible symptoms of psoriasis include skin pain, itching and cracking. There are several types of psoriasis but the most common form of the disease is Plaque Psoriasis. A plaque is the well-defined patches of inflamed, red and raised skin, with flaky, silvery white buildup on top of the plaques called scale which is composed of dead cells. Psoriasis is considered to be an autoimmune disease but has a genetic component that makes certain people more likely to develop it (Mehlis and Gordon, 2003). However, often external or environmental factors such as emotional stress, injury to the skin, some types of infection and reaction to certain drugs can trigger psoriasis. Patients may have periods of remission alternating with recurrences of the symptoms lasting for several weeks or months. While there is no permanent cure for psoriasis, its symptoms can be reduced by several treatments including, steroid medications, UV radiation, oral or systemic drugs and topical agents such as vitamin D3 derivatives, retinoids, coal tar or anthralin (Spuls et al, 1997; Ashcroft, et al 2000). However, these treatments can cause adverse effects including skin irritation, skin thinning, dermatitis and atrophy, and may even lead to carcinogenesis (Aschoff, et al, 2000; Van de Kerkhof, 2005).

The hump oil-based skin treatment ointment described herein has anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-itching qualities, do not irritate the skin, and that can be used as many times as required without adverse side effects. It performs a number of functions when applied to the skin. For example, it can replenish natural skin oils, maintain skin hydration, reduce inflammation, soothe redness, and control itching, flaking and scaling associated with many stubborn skin conditions including dry skin, cracked heels, eczema, psoriasis and hyperkeratosis.

Musculoskeletal Conditions

The joint disorders and inflammation are widespread and can cause joint stiffness, lameness, and considerable discomfort and pain. The arthritis is a condition associated with inflammation and pain in the joints of body. The arthritis first appears asymptomatically in the second or third decades of life and becomes almost universal by age 70. Osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis, is a degenerative joint disease and one of the biggest causes of disability around the world. Osteoarthritis involves degradation of joints including cartilage and bone, especially at the hips and knees. In the absence of cartilage cover, bones are exposed to damage which results in joint pain, stiffness and softness of joints. Osteoarthritis is often accompanied by osteoporosis, a condition where the bone calcium resorption occurs due to hormonal imbalance, making the bone more brittle, which may lead to frequent fractures. Genetics and metabolic malfunctioning are the root cause of the disease.

The non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs that are often used as treatments to manage joint diseases only function to temporary relieve the pain. The present invention provides a hump oil based-pain treatment ointment for reducing inflammation of the joints and providing relief from the joint pain while being non-irritating to the skin, and that it has long-lasting healing properties without adverse effects. The ointment penetrates the skin rapidly and adequately and acts to provide effective transport across the dermis or mucous membranes of said area of pain or discomfort to provide effective relief from swelling, stiffness, and the pain and discomfort caused by a variety of inflammatory medical conditions or physical injuries. For example, the ointment assists in the relief of the effects of arthritic pain by promoting an anti-inflammatory effect to restore flexibility to stiff and painful joints.
