AN OBSERVATIONAL STUDY ON MUTRA PARIKSHAN -A KRIYA SHARIR PRACTICAL PARIKSHAN

Abstract

Background: Mutra Parikshan (urine examination) is a traditional diagnostic method in Ayurveda that provides insights into an individual's health based on the properties and characteristics of urine. This study aims to observe and document the diagnostic relevance of Mutra Parikshan in contemporary clinical settings, emphasizing its role in understanding disease progression and guiding treatment. Objective: To analyze and validate the diagnostic significance of Mutra Parikshan in identifying prakriti (constitution), dosha imbalances, and pathological conditions in patients across diverse clinical presentations. Methods: This observational study was conducted in a clinical setting, enrolling [insert number] patients with varying health conditions. Urine samples were collected and analyzed based on parameters outlined in classical Ayurvedic texts, including varna (color), gandha (odor), sparsha (consistency), dravata (fluidity), phenodbhava (froth), and pravaha (flow). Observations were correlated with patient-reported symptoms, clinical history, and modern diagnostic findings to identify patterns and relevance. Results: The study revealed significant correlations between specific Mutra Parikshan parameters and clinical conditions such as [insert examples, e.g., diabetes, urinary tract infections, or dosha imbalances]. Variations in urine characteristics consistently aligned with doshic imbalances, supporting its utility as a diagnostic tool. Conclusion: This study underscores the potential of Mutra Parikshan as a non-invasive diagnostic modality in clinical practice. Integrating its principles with modern diagnostic tools could enhance diagnostic accuracy and support personalized treatment approaches. Future research is warranted to further validate these findings and explore standardization of Mutra Parikshan techniques.
