Mode of action of Uttarabasti in Mutraghata (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia)
Abstract
Ayurveda based on Vedas but with the main aim of eradication of the diseases and maintenance of health of healthy individuals, describes in detail about the diseases of urinary tract. Acharya Vagbhata has classically divided the Rogas of Mutra in to two categories viz. Mutra Atipravrittija and Mutra Apravrittija Rogas. The disease Prameha comes under the first group where as Asmari, Mutrakriccha and Mutraghata fall under the second. Mutraghata is a condition in consequence with some kind of Obstructive Uropathy either mechanical or functional; related either to upper or lower urinary tract resulting in to either partial or complete retention of urine as well as Oliguria or Anuria. It can be corelated with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia. (B.P.H) it is a frequent finding in older men. According to Sushruta and Charaka, it is clear that, the use of Uttara Basti is advocated in all the varieties of Mutraghata. This is because of ‘the Basti is the Sthana for Samshraya of the Doshas and Uttara Basti is having direct access to the site and hence is more powerful in alleviating the Doshas and it has been advocated that the Uttara Basti is to be administered repeatedly.
