Don’t worry Zubair, Please share your test reports for better advice and treatment… And which medicines are you taking currently???
For Cystitis with frequent urination, Ayurveda suggests approaching the condition by addressing the underlying imbalances. In your situation, it’s crucial to manage conditions like high blood sugar and high blood pressure alongside. Here are some recommendations that might help, though they should be used in conjunction with your current medical treatments, not in replacement of them.
Firstly, consider Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris), a well-known Ayurvedic herb for urinary tract health. It may help reduce inflammation and promote urinary wellness. Take it in powdered form, around 3-5 grams mixed with water, twice a day, or as directed by a knowledgeable practitioner. Make sure to discuss with a healthcare professional familiar with your existence conditions before starting.
Another helpful herb could be Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa). It’s known for its diuretic properties and potential to support kidney function. A 500 mg capsule twice daily might be effective, helping ease the symptoms of Cystitis. Again, consulta with an ayurvedic doctor to tailor the dosage to your needs.
Drinking warm water with a pinch of turmeric could also assist due to its natural anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Consuming this mixture twice a day can be beneficial for soothing the urinary tract.
Dietary adjustments can make a difference. Avoid spicy and acidic foods, as they could irritate the bladder. Emphasize a diet with more freshly cooked vegetables and grains, like barley, which helps pacify the increased Pitta dosha indicated in such conditions.
Ushas’ cold (lukewarm) infusion involves soaking coriander seeds overnight in water and drinking on an empty stomach. It is praised for its cooling effect and helps manage frequent urination, supporting the urinary tract.
Maintaining strong Agni, the digestive fire, is essential. Avoid cold and heavy meals, sipping warm herbal teas like Cumin-Coriander-Fennel tea might help improve digestion alongside your meal.
Lastly, don’t forget the need for regular exercise and stress management practices, as they help in overall health and balance the body’s doshas. Always communicate with your healthcare provider regarding any new supplements or herbs, to avoid interactions with your current medication regime.
Avoid spicy, oily and processed food. Regular exercise. Drink sufficient quantity of water. Tab.Bangshil 2-0-2 Tab.Chandraprabhavati 2-0-2

hello zubair, What’s happening is your urinary bladder is inflamed that’s what cystitis means. Because of high sugar and acidity, your urine stays hot and irritating. That’s why you feel like urinating more often, even if there’s less urine. Also, when digestion and constipation are not cleared daily, it puts pressure on the urinary system too.
We’ll cool down the bladder, reduce burning, improve urine flow, and support your digestion gently all without disturbing your BP or sugar medicines.
1. Internal Medicines
1.Chandanasava – 15 ml with equal water after lunch and dinner 2.Gokshuradi Guggulu – 2 tabs twice daily after food 3.Vanga Bhasma – 125 mg with honey once in the morning 4.Avipattikar Churna – 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water (for acidity and constipation) 5.Trikatu Churna – ½ tsp after lunch with honey (for digestion)
2. Diet & Lifestyle
Avoid spicy, sour, fried food No curd, no tea/coffee at night Drink barley water or coriander water through the day Include coconut water, lauki, bottle gourd juice in the morning Take warm water at night, avoid cold drinks Empty bowels daily — don’t skip or delay
3. Suggested Tests (if not recently done)
Urine routine + culture HbA1c KFT (Creatinine, urea) Ultrasound lower abdomen (repeat after 6 weeks if symptoms persist)
This combination will calm the bladder, reduce infection tendency, support sugar and BP, and clear your digestion without side effects.
If you have any doubts, you can contact me. Take care, regards, dr.Karthika
Please try to bring HBP and sugar levels to normal levels, as these abnormal levels will give frequent urination. Take chandraprabha vati 1-0-1 after food with water will help in cystitis Gokshuradi guggul 2 -2 -0 after food with water helps kidney to eliminate the toxins from the body Take fresh lime water with pinch of black salt. Barley water is also very good. Follow up after 15 days
