According to researchers, Shilajit is produced by the decomposition of plant material from species such as ‘ Euphorbia royleana’ and ‘ trifolium repens’ . This decomposition seems to occur through centuries and on this basis, Shilajit is considered a millenary product of nature. Shilajit is composed mainly of humic substances, including fulvic acid, that account for 60 to 80% of the total nutraceutical compound and some oligoelements including selenium of antiaging properties.

Shilajit is known to have the properties like, Mootrala, Chedi, Bastishoola Hara, Srotorodha Hara , which are related to Mootravaha Srotas. Mootrala property: [7] Shilajit has got Mootrala property which is helpful in urinary conditions with obstructed urination. Obstruction to Mootra and affliction of Mootra Pravrutti are predominantly found in Mootraghatas . The types of Mootraghata which have been identified with Alpa Mootra Pravrutti or Utpatti are Vatakunadalika, Vata Basti, Mootrateeta, Mootra Jathara, Mootrotsanga, Mootrakshaya, Bastikundala . The underlined pathologies for the above conditions are varied but the clinical consequences are similar. The drugs which are Mootrala in action, help the formation of Mootra and elimination of Sanchita Mootra easily. Shilajit being Mootrala can help to get symptomatic relief in the above-mentioned urinary conditions. Chedi property: [8] Chedi means to cut or to dissociate. Chedi property helps in pathological states wherever there is an abnormal bonding of Doshas or Dhatus are found, especially in case of abnormal growths. Shilajit has chedi property which can be helpful in conditions like Ashtila (Stone like growth in Mootramarga ), Mootragranthi (A type of Mootraghata ), where abnormal growth like granthi is the consequence. Chedi property would help to loosen the abnormal bonding and to clear the Granthi . Basti Shoola Hara property: [9] Basti Shoola means the pricky pain in the Basti Pradesha . Basti Pradesha represents the lower abdomen near bladder region. Many types of Mootraghatas are associated with pain in the Basti Pradesha , like Mootragranthi, Vatakundalika, Ashtila, Vatabasti, Mootra Jathara and Mootrotsanga. In these conditions the pain will be mostly due to obstruction to the Mootra Vega due to

[Summary: This page elaborates on the significance of Shilajit in various urinary conditions based on modern medicine, including UTIs, BPH, obstructive uropathies, renal dysfunctions, and bladder dysfunction.

Unveiling the efficacy of Shilajit in Urinary Disorders ISSN: 2456-3110 REVIEW ARTICLE December 2024 Journal of Ayurveda and Integrated Medical Sciences | December 2024 | Vol. 9 | Issue 12 171 various pathological conditions. Shilajit facilitates obstructed Mootra . We may infer that, by clearing out the Sanchita Mootra , Shilajit acts as Basti Shoola Hara (Alleviates Pain in Bladder region). Ashmari (Urinary Calculus) also can cause pain in Basti Pradesha (Bladder region). Shilajit does Ashmari Bhedana (Clearance of Calculus) and reduces Basti shola (Pain in Bladder region). Srotorodha Hara property: [10] Srotorodha means obstruction in a Srotas or a Channel. Clearing the obstruction in the channels and regularizing the movement is considered as Srotorodha Harana . Shilajit is said to be Sroto Rodha Hara . Mootra Vaha Srotas is one of the Srotas and Shilajit helps to relieve the various kinds of obstruction pertaining to Mootra Vaha Srotas . So Shilajit can be helpful in Mootraghatas like Mootragranthi, Vatakundalika, Ashtila, Vatabasti, Mootrajathara and Mootrashmari . Significance of Shilajit in Urinary conditions When we investigate various urinary conditions as per modern medicine, the common urinary problems would be Urinary Tract Infections, Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, Obstructive Uropathies Urinary calculi, and Renal dysfunctions. Shilajit is known to have certain properties useful in treating urinary disorders based on various scientific studies. Shilajit in Urinary tract infections: [11] UTI is characterized by infection of urinary tract by the microbes. Shilajit is known to have anti-microbial action which might be useful in infections including urinary infections. Shilajit is having diuretic action which is also useful in management of UTI by flushing out microbes, reducing microbial concentration and relieve burning urination. Shilajit in BPH and other Obstructive uropathies: [12,13] Shilajit is known to reduce the size of the hypertrophied prostate gland, relieving pressure on urethra, and improving urine flow. The antiinflammatory property of Shilajit may help reduce inflammation in the prostate, improving urine flow and reducing symptoms like hesitancy and dribbling. Antioxidant property of Shilajit may help protect the prostate from oxidative stress reducing the rise of BPH progression. Action of Shilajit on renal functioning: [14] Shilajit may help increase urine production, reducing fluid retention and alleviating pressure on the kidneys. Shilajit may help protect the kidneys from damage caused by toxins, heavy metals, and other harmful substances. Shilajit may help improve blood flow to the kidneys, ensuring they receive the necessary oxygen and nutrients for optimal function, Shilajit can reduce the risk of kidney stone formation by increasing urine production and improving mineral balance. Shilajit can also help maintain electrolyte balance. Shilajit can also help maintain electrolyte balance, which is essential for proper kidney function. Active compounds in Shilajit , such as fulvic acid, humic acid, and dibenzo-alpha pyrones, contribute to its potential benefits in improving renal function. Shilajit in bladder dysfunction: [15] Shilajit can be effective in various bladder related problems such as incontinence, overactive bladder, interstitial cystitis, neurogenic bladder, and bladder weakness. In case of incontinence and bladder weakness, Shilajit can help to improve bladder tone and strength. Due to its neuroprotective effects, Shilajit can also be effective in neurogenic bladder. The anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial property, and anti-oxidant properties of Shilajit may help to alleviate interstitial cystitis and overactive bladder. These are the potential benefits of Shilajit based on its clinical actions, however more research is needed to confirm its efficacy and optimal dosage.

Pramehadhikara DISCUSSION There are enough classical references to explain and support the efficacy of Shilajit in various urinary disorders. The multifaceted actions of Shilajit makes it beneficial in multiple Mootra Vikaras . Its adaptogenic, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties make it an excellent solution for various ailments including urinary disorders. Shilajit is often referred to as Sarvaroga Hara’ meaning universal healer due to its broad-spectrum action against various illnesses. Its ability to balance the 3 Doshas earns it the title of Tridosha Hara , making it an invaluable resource for maintaining overall wellbeing. Despite its numerous benefits, Shilajit availability poses a significant challenge in today’s era. The increasing demand, combined with its limited natural occurrence, makes it difficult to source high quality Shilajit . CONCLUSION The extensive classical references, multi-faceted actions, and balancing effect of Shilajit on the three Doshas solidify its position as a valuable remedy for urinary disorders and overall health. Shilajit can be a preferrable choice of drug in various urinary conditions. However, addressing the challenge of its availability is crucial to harnessing its full potential. The significance of Shilajit in urinary disorders is rooted in its unique composition, traditional Ayurvedic applications and scientific evidences. Further research is warranted to fully elucidate its mechanisms of action and potential therapeutic applications. REFERENCES 1 Pandey G, Chunekar K. Bhavaprakasha Nighantu. 2015.
