Ingredients

Urinary tract infections are caused by microbes such as bacteria overcoming the body's defenses in the urinary tract. They can affect the kidneys, bladder, and the tubes that run between them. Women are at greater risk of developing a UTI than are men.
The symptoms of a UTI can depend on age, gender, the presence of a catheter, and what part of the urinary tract has been infected. Common symptoms of a UTI include:

• Strong and frequent urge to urinate
• Cloudy, bloody, or strong-smelling urine
• Pain or a burning sensation when urinating
• Nausea and vomiting
• Muscle aches and abdominal pains

Causes of urinary infection

The vast majority of urinary tract infections (UTIs) are caused by the bacterium Escherichia coli (E. coli), usually found in the digestive system. There are many factors that can put you at an increased risk of a getting a UTI, including:

Diabetes

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder that occurs when your blood sugar (glucose), is too high (hyperglycemia). Glucose is what the body uses for energy, and the pancreas produces a hormone called insulin that helps convert the glucose from the food you eat into energy. When the body either does not produce enough insulin, does not produce any at all, or your body becomes resistant to the insulin, the glucose does not reach your cells to be used for energy. This results in the health condition termed diabetes.

The symptoms include:

Causes of Diabetes

Different causes are associated with each type of diabetes:

• Type 1 diabetes: here, the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas.
• Type 2 diabetes: stems from a combination of genetics and lifestyle factors.
• Gestational diabetes: is the result of hormonal changes during pregnancy.

Liver Cirrhosis

Cirrhosis is a late stage of scarring (fibrosis) of the liver caused by many forms of liver diseases and conditions. When the liver is injured — whether by disease, excessive alcohol consumption or another cause — it tries to repair itself. In the process, scar tissue forms. As cirrhosis progresses, more and more scar tissue forms, making it difficult for the liver to function.

Symptoms of Liver Cirrhosis

Cirrhosis often has no signs or symptoms until liver damage is extensive. When signs and symptoms do occur,

they may include:

Causes of Liver Cirrhosis

The most common things that raise the risk for cirrhosis are:

• Heavy drinking due to alcohol addiction
• Obesity, which raises the chance of conditions that lead to cirrhosis
• A long-term hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection

Splenomegaly

Splenomegaly is defined as enlargement of the spleen, measured by size or weight. Enlarged spleen can be prevented by preventing the underlying illness as best as possible. An enlarged spleen is at risk for damage when it grows beyond the protection given to it by the lower ribs.

The symptomsof an enlarged spleen include:

Causes of Splenomegaly

The enlargement of the spleen may be temporary, depending on treatment.

Contributing factors include:

Urinary infection, Diabetes, Liver Cirrhosis, and Splenomegaly - An Ayurvedic Approach

Urinary infection: According to Ayurveda, Urinary Tract Infection or Pittaj Mutrakrichhra is caused by the aggravation of Pitta Dosha. Pitta is an Ayurvedic humor that symbolizes heat or fire. A diet and lifestyle that increases Pitta can lead to UTI because aggravated Pitta produces heating toxins in the body which accumulate in the mutravahi strotas (urinary channels) and create an imbalance in the infection-fighting properties of the urinary system. Ayurveda's wisdom offers guidelines to balance pitta dosha and strengthen the urinary tract to provide long-term relief and to avoid recurring infections.

Diabetes

Diabetes or “Prameha” in Ayurveda is divided into 20 types, based on the predominant Doshas in the body. This sums up to 4 types caused due to Vata, 6 types caused due to Pitta and 10 types caused due to Kapha. Prameha when not treated leads to “Madumeha” which is the Diabetes Mellitus.
According to Ayurveda, one suffers from burning of palms and soles, dryness of mouth and a sweet taste in the mouth.

The three main divisions of Diabetes according to Ayurveda are:

Kapha: This causes indigestion, lack of hunger, flu, running nose, lethargy and vomiting.

Pitta: This causes pain in the bladder leading to urinary tract infection, fever, acidity, diarrhea and sleep apneas.

Vata: This causes severe cold and cough, breathing problems, constipation, fatigue, sudden tremors or chills and insomnia.

Liver Cirrhosis

The liver is called Yakrit in Ayurveda. Pitta is the predominant humor of the liver and most liver disorders are aggravated conditions of Pitta. Excessive bile production or a blockage in the flow of bile usually indicates high pitta, which in turn affects the agni or enzyme activities responsible for absorption, digestion and metabolism.

Splenomegaly

According to Ayurvedic theory, liver cirrhosis reflects extreme aggravation of pitta dosha. Since liver is a seat of pitta, aggravated pitta affects the liver function and later vitiates other doshas as well. Rasa and rakta dhatus are particularly intoxicated while other dhatus too become weak. Almost all functions of pitta such as digestion of food, complexion of skin, feeling of hunger, and production of blood get considerably hampered. In Ayurveda enlargement of spleen is known as “pleehodar”. Pleehodar is also caused by combination of impure blood with “kapha”.
