Mootrakricchra is a Tridoshaj Vyadhi and its symptoms are compared with Urinary tract infections (UTI) in modern texts. Main symptoms of Mootrakrichhra are pain and difficulty in micturition. Various formulations have been mentioned in ayurvedic texts for the treatment of Mootrakricchra . One of those formulations is Chandraprabha vati . Chandraprabha vati is a herbo-mineral preparation having 37 drugs. Though the efficacy of Chandraprabha vati in the above-mentioned condition is observed practically, its mode of action is not clear. In this article we have attempted to throw a light on a probable mode of action of Chandraprabha vati in Mootrakrichhra . Ingredients of Chandraprabha vati possess properties such as mutrala, deepana-pachana, tridoshaghna, sheeta virya and rasayana. Samprapti (pathophysiology) of Mootrakrichhra can be broken down by these properties. Experimental studies have proven the antioxidant & antimicrobial action of Chandraprabha vati. Thus, it stands as a formulation of choice in treatment of Mootrakricchra Keywords :- Chandraprabha vati , Herbo-mineral , Micturition , Mootrakricchra

IRJAY IS THE OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF BALA G PUBLICATION 329 VOLUME- 3 | ISSUE- 9 SEPTEMBER 2020 VOLUME- 3 | ISSUE- 8 AUGUST 2020 VOLUME- 3 | ISSUE- 8 AUGUST 2020 INTRODUCTION: Ayurveda , the Indian system of medicine, includes treatment using herbal or metallic or herbo-metallic formulations. Chandraprabha vati is a herbo-mineral formulation containing 37 ingredients of both herbal and mineral origin. It is being used in practice by Ayurveda physicians since centuries. Mootrakrichhra is one of the many indications of Chandraprabha vati . Mootrakrichhra 1 means disease in which there is difficulty in urination is called Mootrakrichhra . It is a disease of Mootravaha Srotasa . In Ayurveda texts, Mootrachhrichra is described by various Acharyas . In Trimarmiya Adhyaya 2 , Acharya Charaka described Mootrakrichhra . Acharya Kashyapa 3 had also described the sign and symptoms of Mootrakricchra in Vedna Adhyaya . In Modern medicine, Mootrakrichhra symptoms are similar to that of urinary tract infection (UTI). Women are at greater risk of developing a UTI as compared to men due to shorter length of urethra, absence of prostatic secretions and pregnancy. Nowadays UTIs are the most common infections. About 40% of women and 12% of men experience symptomatic UTI at least once during their lifetime, and as many as 40% of affected women show recurrent UTI 4,5,6,7 . Urinary tract infection is potentially a serious condition and may lead to complications like chronic pyelonephritis and chronic renal failure. There are effective antibiotics for UTI but they have their own limitations.

IRJAY IS THE OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF BALA G PUBLICATION 338 VOLUME- 3 | ISSUE- 9 SEPTEMBER 2020 VOLUME- 3 | ISSUE- 8 AUGUST 2020 VOLUME- 3 | ISSUE- 8 AUGUST 2020 In previous studies on CPV, it is clearly mentioned that CPV is a potential source of antioxidants and antimicrobial agent that can be effectively used to remove the invading and persisting bacterial population in the bladder and kidney 62 . The external supplementation of zinc, as in CPV, not only restores the depleted zinc pools in the body fluids, but also acts as a cytotoxic agent to the bacteria 63 . A case report of 25 years old female patient showed reduction in signs and symptoms as well as bacterial growth, nitrites, leucocyte esterase, cast in urine. CPV was administered 100 mg 2 BD along with Brihatyadi ksheerkashayam (50 ml BD) and Shweta parpati (500 mg with 1 litre of water in ten divided doses) 64 . So, this review study and previous studies clearly shows CPV as an effective drug for Mootrakrichhra. CONCLUSION Chandraprabha vati is a commonly used drug in Mootrakrichhra and it helps in reducing the symptoms as well as maintain the proper functioning of kidneys. This drug is very effective in Mootrakrichhra due to various properties such as antimicrobial agent and acting directly as a diuretic. Sita It is sheeta, snigdha and madhura in property.
