Abstract

Urinary tract infection is one of the most common bacterial infections, with about 150 million people diagnosed yearly. E. coli is the primary causative organism, followed by Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Klebsiella, Proteus mirabilis & Enterococci. Dysuria, burning micturition, increased frequency, urgency and urinary incontinence are significant symptoms of UTI with the treatment centers around Antibiotics. The symptoms of UTI closely resemble the symptoms of Mutrakricchhra, so these can be correlated. With Antimicrobial resistance on the rise nowadays, the need for safer alternatives is the need of the hour. In Rasa Tarangini, a formulation of Rasa Sindura with equal parts of Shilajit, Elaichi, and Sitopala has been mentioned, called Rasa Sindura Yoga. Since it is a Herbo-mineral preparation, it is required in lesser doses, can work at the cellular level, and exhibits higher efficacy. The drugs in this formulation are proven to have antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and Antianalgesic properties, which can help alleviate the symptoms of UTI. The present study aims to critically review the individual drugs' formulation and probable mode of action in UTI.
