Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Ayurveda science is more observed than investigated and it is based on clinical findings. Ayurveda KriyaSharir is mainly based on Dosh, dhatu and Mala. Functions of the body performed by Doshas. Dhatus sustain the body. Malas are waste products formed by digestion(Purisa, Mutra) & Metabolism of Dhatus (Dhatumala). Formation of Malas occurs in their Strotas. Mutra(Urine) is very important entity in maintaining homeostasis of the body. Urine formation occurs in Mutravaha strotas. Main organs of Mutravaha strotas are Urinary bladder & Urethra according to Susruta. Ayurveda advocated that urine is formed from large intestines & not from kidneys. The first stage of urine formation begins in the large intestines where fluids are absorbed into the urinary system. In urinary system urine is formed by filtration & reabsorption. This article tries to review the formation of urine according to Ayurveda.
