Abstract

Mutra is a Sanskrit technical term translating to “Urine”. Mutra is the liquid form of Ahara-Mala. Function of Mutra is to carry away Kleda (watery waste) from the body. Mutra is important waste product of the body and its examination gives important information for the diagnosis and prognosis of the diseases and also health. It is a science of life with a holistic approach to health and personalized medicine. It is known to be a complete medical system that comprised physical, psychological, philosophical, ethical and spiritual health. In Ayurveda there are different types of Parikshavidhi (methods of examination) for the diagnosis of diseases. In Ashtavidh Pariksha, Mutra Pariksha is an important tool for diagnosis. It is not only a diagnostic tool & also prognosis criteria of urine examination developed by the Ayurvedic scholars like Tail Bindu Pariksha. Urine examination in Ayurveda is used in a systematic and scientific way for understanding the diagnosis and prognosis of the disease from Samhita Kala. This article aims at using this ancient wisdom to diagnose the medical conditions and to predict about their prognosis, and to study about how it can be applied along with Modern medical practice as a cost-effective diagnostic tool.
