Abstract
Urinary tract infection is a common disorder accounting for 1-3% of consultation in general medical practice. Urinary tract infection is a term used to describe Acute urethritis and Cystitis caused by microorganism. In Ayurveda, the disease Mutrakruchra is mentioned in almost all classical texts with different signs, symptoms and treatment modalities, reflecting its prevalence in ancient period, which can be correlated to urinary tract infection. Acharya Sushrutha has explained the treatment of Mutrakruchra in detail by mentioning various internal medications, Anuvasana and Uttara Basti. Numerous studies are done in the management of Mutrakruchra with the internal medication. Here a preliminary attempt to study the effect of bladder wash with Gokshura Kashaya in the management of the same was taken for the study.
