ABSTRACT

Prameha is one of the leading and progressive diseases found in India. It is a very complex disease in which there are many dushyas i.e. vata, pitta, kapha, meda, mamsa (muscle), kleda (body fluid), shukra (semen), shonit (blood), vasa (fat), majja (bone marrow), lasika, rasa, ojas. Were Kapha is the dominant Dosha and Meda is common Dushya in all prameha samprapti. As it is disease related to metabolism it suggests that there is defect in the Agni (Agnimandya). Its disease featured as increased quantity (Prabhut) and turbidity (Aavil) of Urine. While describing the causative factors, used the term ‘Kaphakrut cha sarvam’ in it. Due to heavy fatty diet and sedentary lifestyle, there is quantitative increase in Dravatva of Kapha due to the elimination of excessive kleda with urine. Turbidity in urine is due to presence of dosha and dushyas in the urine- ‘Bahu drava shleshama dosha vishesha'. So in this article we study the role of Dosha – Dushya which are involved in the samprapti of Prameha.
