Efficacy Of Shigru, And Punarnava In Managing Mutrakrichra Roga (Urinary Disorders): A Clinical Study

Abstract

Shigru and Punarnava are two prominent Ayurvedic herbs traditionally recognized for their therapeutic potential in various ailments, particularly those affecting the urinary system. This study investigates their efficacy in managing Mutrakrichra Roga, a condition often characterized by dysuria and urinary discomfort, as described in classical Ayurvedic texts (Gadad & Gudaganatti, 2021). Specifically, this clinical study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of these herbal interventions in alleviating symptoms associated with urinary disorders, drawing parallels between traditional Ayurvedic understanding and modern clinical parameters. The research will assess the symptomatic relief and objective improvements in urinary parameters with the herbal treatment group. The study will focus on key indicators such as frequency of urination, pain severity, and urine analysis to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the herbal preparations' impact. This includes a detailed examination of changes in blood urea and serum creatinine levels, along with other relevant biochemical markers, to ascertain renal function improvement and overall therapeutic outcomes. The findings are anticipated to substantiate the traditional claims of Shigru and Punarnava in urinary tract health, potentially offering a validated natural alternative for the management of Mutrakrichra.
