AyurVAID Approach

Ayurveda, the ancient science of medicine, has a unique taste for understanding and interpreting diseases. Ayurveda solely believes in the fact that diseases are manifested when there is an imbalance between the tridoshas. The tridoshas namely vata, pitta, and kapha when vitiated cause a plethora of diseases. Therefore it is essential to maintain the homeostasis of doshas to maintain a healthy body.

The frequency of diseases occurring in present times has increased and people have doubted the efficacy of Ayurveda to treat these modern-originated disorders. The scholars of Ayurveda studied every disease with such precision along with mentioning the probable methods to cure it.

Coming back to our topic, Neurogenic bladder, in Ayurvedic disorders of the urinary system, comes under mutra vaha srotas dushti (disorder in the channels of the urinary system).

The main dosha affected is the vata dosha (specifically apana vayu) which causes disease of the urinary system.

Neurogenic bladder treatment can be correlated to mutraghata. Mutraghata is a collection of diseases that occur due to obstruction in the bladder. There are 12 types of mutraghata. Out of the 12 types, it can be predominantly related to vata kundalika.

Vata kundalika is a condition that occurs due to the vitiation of vata and the patient does not urinate completely but in drops. Along with this, there is a pain in the bladder.

The only Ayurveda hospital to have achieved the National Quality Award, AyurVaid has never looked back ever since. Not just to excel in the field of Ayurveda but also to provide the best treatments for their patients is what drives their motive.
