ABSTRACT

Ayurveda is a traditional medical science.Many diseases find their place in the Vedic literature. Mutrakrichhra is one of them. It has been documented in Veda, Purana and in a great detail in Samhita. The Apana Vayu is responsible for the regulation of urinary system. When Apana Vayu gets vitiated it results in various Mutravaha Vikara .On the basis of similarity in clinical symptomatology, it can be correlated with Urinary Tract Infections in modern medical science. With the introduction of antibiotics in modern medicine it has become easier to treat the urinary tract infections but still chances of reinfection and relapse are major problems. Simultaneously, the development of resistance is also a major issue. Taking these facts into consideration it has been often suggested to explore the usefulness of different plant products and other natural resources. Ayurveda possesses its own unique principle to explain the mode of action of drugs Aim and Objective: To review the Nidanpanchaka and Ayurvedic management of Mutrakrichhra. To review the Pathyapathya mentioned in Mutrakrichhra. Methodology: Text will be collected from Ayurvedic Samhitas, different websites and journals will be referred. Result: Shodhana and Shamana Chikitsa are effective in the management of Mutrakrichhra. Discussion: In Ayurveda Nidana Parivarjana,Shamana, Shodhana are the way to treat any disease hence in Mutrakrichhra we should really examine causative factors and then give Shamana and Shodhana Chikitsa.
