Ayurveda Prospective

Mutrakricchra is a board term which covers the conditions described in modern medical science as Urinary tract infection (UTI). Dukhena Mutra Pravriti means discomfort during micturition especially excessive intake of madya, matsya and katu amla lavana rasa causes aggravation of pitta dosha. Intake of anupamamsa, adhyashana and ajirna bhojana aggravated kapha dosha which in turn leads to reduced state of agni so all tridoshas get vitiated. The vitiated tridoshas along with the states of agnimandya (reduced digestive capacity) invariably produce ama(toxins). Ama mixes with the doshas forming Sama doshas. These sama dosha produce symptoms such as peeta mutra (yellow urine) ,Sadaha mutra pravritti burning micturition and mutrendriya gurutwa (inflammation of bladder), Shweta, Snigdha and picchila mutra (turbid urine with the presence of leucocytes). In Ayurveda, a balanced state of vata, pitta and kapha doshas is responsible for good health. Urinary tract disorders are caused by the imbalance of these humours. Ayurvedic treatment for urinary tract disorders involves flushing out infection with detoxification, cleaning out blockages of the urinary tract and Ayurvedic herbs that tone the kidneys and normalise the functioning of the apana vayu (vata).
