6. BRIEF RESUME OF THE INTENDED WORK:

6.1 NEED FOR THE STUDY :

Ayurveda is the ancient medical wisdom of India. Among the various concepts that Ayurveda put forward, a very important concept is Srotas which are the structural and functional unit of the shareera. These Srotas plays an important role in maintaining the health and in producing the disease when they are in normal and abnormal condition respectively.

The Mutravaha Srotas is one among the abhyantara Srotas. The group of organs concerned with Utpatti and

Visarjana of Mutra is called Mutravaha Srotas. Basti and Vankshana are said to be the mula of this Srotas. It plays very important role in the excretion of waste products of the shareera and thus maintains the health. When

Mutravaha Srotas get vitiated it produces many Mutravaha Srotogata vikaras.

Mutrashmari is one of the major disease which is having significant world wide health problem due to the debilitating and progressive condition of the nature. In this Jet era every person is in hurry and on account this busy life style person is suppressing the natural urges and less fluid intake.

They were prevalent during ancient times and continues to be seen even today also. It is estimated that approximately 2% of the population have Mutrashmari in their life with male female ratio being 2:1

To get rid of this terrible problem people surrender to the modern treatment which is quiet expensive and out of reach of common people along with that having their own demerits. So the safe remedy is the need of the day.

In Ayurveda, Acharyas have mentioned different types of treatments in the management of Vataja

Mutrashmari. Among them Tilanalaka Kshara Prayoga is mentioned as the best in the management of Vataja

Mutrashmari. Since the Kshara is having the properties of Chedana, Bhedana, Lekhana, due to these properties the

Kshara may disintegrate the stone into small pieces. Because of its Tridoshaghnata properties it corrects the derranged vata, thus vatanulomana occurs, which may help to pass the disintegrated Ashmari through the urethra.

Hence, the present study will be undertaken to study the concept of Mutravaha Srotas and to assess the effect of Tilanalaka Kshara in the management of Vataja Mutrashmari. 6.2 REVIEW OF LITERATURE :
