Pittaja Mootrakruccha occurs due to vitiation of Pitta Dosha, mostly seen in patients receiving Pitta Prakopaka Ahara and Vihara. Common symptoms are Sadaha (burning), Sashula (painful) and Muhurmuhu (frequency) Mootrapravritti (micturation). Aim: To do comparative study of clinical evaluation of Bhumiamalaki Ghanavati and Tab. Norfloxacin in the management of Pittaja Mootrakruccha w.s.r. to UTI.

Norfloxacin (400mg - BD) to Group B for 10 days, respectively. The primary outcomes were measured by chi-square test and run test for interpretation of subjective and objective criteria. Observation and Results: Findings of 30 patients in each group revealed that in group A, relief of 63.63%, 65% and 56.86% was observed in Sadaha, Sashula and Muhurmuhu Mootrapravritti complaint, respectively.
