Urine (mutra vaha srotas)

The urine channel (mutra vaha srotas) has its roots in the urinary bladder and ureters. It is responsible for the formation, transportation, and excretion of urine. It plays a vital role in maintaining fluid balance and eliminating waste.

Governed by the vata dosha, it ensures proper downward movement of urine. Imbalances can lead to symptoms like urinary retention, excessive urination, or infections. Factors such as dehydration, improper diet, or stress can disrupt its function.

Ayurvedic treatments focus on balancing doshas, using herbs like gokshura (Tribulus terrestris), coriander (Coriandrum sativum) and punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa), along with lifestyle adjustments to restore its optimal functioning.
