*Dr. Shilpa Kantilal Ingle and Dr. Pradnya Deshpande

ABSTRACT

Ayurveda has its speciality through by all means such as strotas[channels],Ashray ashrayi bhav, shatkriyakal, Panchkarma therapy, etc. Here strotas are the channels having different color, size, shape, meant for the transportation of different body constituents. They are again differentiated depending upon their number, location and functions. among them mutravah strotas has unique identity as it is not merely concerned with excretory system but also has connection with cardiac system. Signs and symptoms of mutravah stroto Dushti are definitely linked with functioning of cardiac system and vice versa. As like any other strotas, mutravah strotas has its mulsthan i.e. basti, vankkshan, vrukka, medhra-as stated in Ayurvedic literature. This strotas carries and stores mutra upto its urge. Formation of mutra takes place at pakvashay/sthulantra with the help of Doshas specially pachak pitta which is concerned with digestion and saman vayu concerned with separation of saar kita during the post process of digestion. Vitiation in these Doshas leads to dysfunction of mutravah strotas and mutrotpatti is hampered giving rise to many troublesome disorders like mutrakshay, mutraghat, mutrasang, etc. Mutrakshay is concerned with less formation of urine which give rise to burning sensation and pain at basti region.As less formation of urine is there basti is devoid of adequate amount of urine, vitiated pitta and vaat dosha give rise to above mentioned signs and symtoms. It can be treated with pacification of Doshas with shaman and shodhan chikitsa which is again speciality of Ayurveda.
