Abstract

CONCEPT OF SHATKRIYAKAL W.S.R. MOOTRAGRANTHI (BPH): A LITERARY REVIEW

*Dr. Priyanka Bansod, Dr. Prerana Khedkar and Dr. Nirmala Sawarkar

ABSTRACT

The Ayurvedic perspective on health is truly holistic,treating body,mind,spirit and senses as inextricably interconnected. Many siddhantas are explained in Ayurveda, shatkriyakala is one of them. Sushruta has given the concept of shatkriyakala (six stages of disease evolution for treatment interventions). These are nothing but the six distinct formative patterns or stages of manifestation of diseases. Mootragranthi is a disease of Mootravahasrotasa, one among the 12 types of Mootraghata disorders,[1] elaborated by Sushruta in his seminal work, the Sushruta Samhita. Mootragranthi closely resembles benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) of modern medicine in its signs and symptoms.Shatkriyakala (six stages of progress of a disease), on the other hand, provides a framework to assess the mootragranthi and its pathogenesis in different stages. Each stage has its own characteristic symptoms to enable a treating physician to recognize the disturbance at the early formative stage of the disease.The present review describes the six stages of Shatkriyakala in detail in the disease of mootragranthi, with an emphasis on research areas to validate the concept of Shatkriyakala with special reference to mootragranthi.
