→Management of disorders related to waste products
==Management of disorders related to waste products==
==Management of disorders related to waste products==
The disorders related to waste products can be broadly divided into 3 categories:
The disorders related to waste products can be broadly divided into 3 categories:
1. Excessive elimination leading to the decrease of waste products in body
1. Excessive elimination leading to the decrease of waste products in body.
2. Excessive accumulation leading to the increase of waste products in body.
2. Excessive accumulation leading to the increase of waste products in body.
3. Abnormal presentations like altered characteristic features, associated symptoms during elimination etc. indicative of some other underlying pathologies.
3. Abnormal presentations like altered characteristic features, associated symptoms during elimination etc. indicative of some other underlying pathologies.
So, the management strategy for these disorders is based upon this.

===Treatment principles in decreased state===
===Treatment principles in decreased state===
*Stop the excessive elimination and promote the consumption of substances with similar properties. [Su. Sa. Sutra Sthana 15/11]
For example, in case decrease in stool formation, black gram (masha) is advised in diet which can increase the bulk of stools.
===Treatment principles in increased state===
*Promote the elimination of waste products by correcting the respective pathology [Su. Sa. Sutra Sthana 15/17].
Drugs acting on [[vata]] by promoting its natural down ward movement (anulomana) are recommended in case of constipation.
===Treatment principles in abnormal state===
===Treatment principles in abnormal state===
*Correction of digestive fire (jatharagni) as well as tissue metabolism (dhatwagni) is more important in all these conditions.
*Underlying pathology should be diagnosed in terms of [[dosha]] and managed accordingly which can automatically correct the abnormal characters of waste products.

Human waste or excreta refers to the waste products of digestion and metabolism. In Ayurveda, both urine and feces are considered as waste products formed after digestion of food (ahara mala). A recent experimental study conducted on rats with impaired renal function (induced by intragastric administration of adenine), has proven that intestinal tract had excretory function compensative for renal function. The relation of intestinal tract and kidneys can be explored more to find better management solutions for kidney diseases. Research studies show effect of therapeutic enema (basti) in microalbuminuria and chronic renal failure.

Excretion is the process of elimination of the metabolic waste products from the body through the lungs, kidney and the skin. The urinary system consisting of a pair of kidneys and ureters, urinary bladder and urethra helps in the elimination of water soluble waste products of metabolism especially nitrogenous wastes like urea, uric acid, and creatinine in the form of urine. Gaseous wastes diffused from the blood stream such as carbon dioxide is eliminated by lungs as part of normal respiration. Sweat glands in skin are play the role in excretion and electrolyte balance. Various biochemical and laboratory investigations are developed to assess body fluids and metabolic products. Judicious implication of these tests and application of knowledge of concept of ‘mala’ can help in finding better healthcare and disease diagnosis solutions.
