Camel Medicine is known for their conservation because they can withstand 20 to 25 percent weight loss due to sweating where other mammals can other withstand 3 to 4 percent dehydration before they experience cardiac failure. Human have round RBCs (red blood cells) and Camel Medicine has oval shape RBCs. This makes Camel Medicine RBCs more stable and thereby able to handle osmotic variation because they will drink 20 to 25 gallons of water in one setting and then conserve it. They can also handle changes in body temperature that would kill other animals.
Camel Medicine is telling you to recognize your limits and conserve where physiologically necessary and reminding you of your own stamina, endurance and energy.
