According to the research, there are many illnesses for which therapeutic mineral hot springs are employed as an alternative. Its physicochemical characteristics have a substantial body of evidence. The in vivo antioxidant effect of Mosul's hot springs in Iraq has been investigated in the current investigation. An experimental design for toxicity, a control group, and a study group were created. In addition, in vivo antioxidant effect of the hot springs of Mosul, Iraq, has been studied by the lipid antiperoxidation method with (p < 0.05), in vitro by the free radical scavenging method (DPPH) for its complexing capacity of hot springs. In acute oral toxicity in vivo at fixed doses, looking for signs and symptoms of toxicity, there are no signs of intoxication or significant changes in the biochemical analysis (blood count). And, it was discovered that the variances are substantial. The animal was necropsied, and hematological and biochemical parameters were determined, as well as the organs' histological processing at the study's conclusion. It was found that the thermal waters from Mosul, Iraq, are medicinal mineral waters, chlorinated, sodium, and sulfated, nontoxic and have an antioxidant effect. With the help of the research's findings, it is hoped to provide scientific support for knowledge that, when made public, encourages the development of Mosul's hot springs as a safe and environmentally friendly tourist destination. With the results of this research, the parameters were presented with their mean and standard deviation statistics, promoting the ecological and sanitary tourism development of the Mosul hot springs, which will generate more significant income for the population, therefore growth in the region.
