Abstract

Urine incontinence, a prevalent and distressing condition, significantly impacts the quality of life of affected individuals. Ayurveda, the ancient holistic healing system, offers a unique perspective and comprehensive approach to managing urinary disorders, including mutratita (Urine incontinence). This abstract explores the Ayurvedic understanding of mutratita, emphasizing the intricate balance of doshas (Bioenergetic forces), dhatus (Body tissues), and malas (Waste products),[1] which govern the urinary system. Ayurvedic texts provide detailed descriptions of the etiology, clinical features, and classifications of mutratita, highlighting the importance of individualized treatment approaches based on the patient's constitution (Prakriti) and imbalances (Vikriti). Various herbal formulations, dietary recommendations, lifestyle modifications, and therapeutic procedures, such as Panchakarma (Detoxification therapies), are discussed in the context of managing mutratita. Additionally, the abstract delves into the significance of mind-body interventions, including yoga, meditation, and pranayama, in addressing the psychosomatic aspects of urinary incontinence. The integration of Ayurvedic principles with modern medicine offers a promising avenue for a comprehensive and personalized approach to effectively manage mutratita, enhancing the overall well-being and restoring confidence in affected individuals.
