URINARY TRACT

A urinary tract infection is an infection that is culpable for the harm of differentiated parts of the urinary tract. According to Ayurveda, the human body is the constitution of three energies Vata, Pitta, and Dosha, and urinary tract infections are the result of vitiation in the Pitta dosh.Mutravahasrotas are the urine carrying channels that begin with kidneys and ends with ureters (the passageways). The pathogenic reason behind this infection is Escherichia coli, fungi, Klebsiella, and Proteus spp. These bacteria enter the human bladder through the urethra, where they make it through the bowel. However, the carrier of this infection can be blood or lymph as well.

The anatomy of women’s bodies always puts them at a higher risk of the infection in comparison to that of men. Once the bacteria (E. coli) is successful in attaining its way to the bladder, they get affixed to the walls of the bladder and shape a biofilm (syntrophic union of microorganisms) that conveniently resist the reaction of the bodily immune. Hence, the medicines of Ayurveda and Pitta pacifying diet alter the vitiation in the Pitta dosh.
