Abstract

The life of living creatures before Vedic period might have been a disease free one, probably due to purity, piousness and balanced attitudes. But after that due to dawn of sins, greed and unhygienic life style, the humanity started suffering from various diseases with agony. Ayurveda is based on the main aim of eradication of the diseases and maintenance of health of healthy individuals. The disesase mutrakrichchra[1] is one among many pain dominated diseases leading to agony. Mutrakrichchra, based on symptomatology, clinically resembles with urinary tract infections.[2] In Mutrakrichchra obstructive features are less, pain and burning sensation are more prominent. Infections at these various sites may occur together or independently and may either be asymptomatic or present as one of the clinical symptoms. An attempt has therefore been made to review the beneficial effects of various Ayurvedic plants on human system and review the effect of Sariva[3] and Gokshura[4] in Mutrakrichchra.

Keywords: Mutrakrichchra, Sariva, Gokshura, Mutravahanadi.
