Ayurvedic management of Urinary disorders-

In Ayurveda, the conditions affecting the kidneys and urinary tract are termed Mutravahasrota Roga and the ones affecting the urethra and bladder are known as Mutraghata. They are known to be caused by aggravated Vata Dosha and can be treated with the help of Mutravirechana(diuretics), which balance the downward flow of the Vata dosha to stimulate the flow of urine. Out of all the treatments available in Ayurveda, Panchakarma has a special place since it is the remedy for so many disorders. 

As per Ayurveda, Urinary tract disorders are caused by the imbalance of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha doshas. Ayurvedic treatment for urinary tract disorders involves cleaning out blockages of the urinary tract, flushing out infection with detoxification, and administering herbs that tone the kidneys and normalise the functioning of the Apana Vayu (Vata).

Depending on the severity of the issue, Herbal treatment in Dubai offers Ayurvedic herbs for urinary problems such as Guduchi (Tinospora Cordifolia), Shilajit (Mineral Pitch, Asphaltum), Varuna (Crataeva Nurvula), Gokshura (Tribulus Terrestris), Punarnava (Boerrhavia Diffusa),:Chandan (Santalum Album), etc.

To figure out if dosha imbalances are causing your urinary issues, consider these: Vata imbalance might show as dry and frequent urination, Pitta as burning sensation or inflammation, and Kapha as heaviness and white mucus in urine. Noticing these patterns can help. If unsure, consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner could give more clarity and guidance.

For better urinary health, Ayurveda suggests focusing on a diet that balances your doshas. You'd want to include foods that aren't too spicy, salty, or acidic to avoid aggravating Pitta. Hydrating foods and plenty of water help keep Vata in check and maintain flow. Light, easily digestible foods can help keep Kapha balance. Think lots of fruits, like watermelon and berries, and cooling veggies! Also, consider cutting back on caffeine and alcohol as they might stress the system. It’s all about keeping things flowing smoothly and in balance.
