Ayurveda, the ancient science of life, primarily aims to maintain health in individual through illness prevention and treatment. Classical Ayurvedic scholars thoroughly described various body systems in relation to Sharira kriya (physiology), Sharira Rachana (anatomy), Vikriti Vigyan (pathology), and beyond. Among these, the Mutravaha srotas—the urinary system—plays a pivotal role in mutra Utpatti (urine formation) and elimination, as detailed across foundational texts. Remarkably, these scholars elucidated the urine formation process without microscopic tools, yielding descriptions strikingly akin to modern physiology. This article reviews classical Ayurvedic perspectives on mutra with special reference (w.s.r.) to Mutra Utpatti, synthesizing key insights from Samhitas and related Granthas. It contrasts these with contemporary understanding of urine formation, highlighting synergies and potential avenues for integrated research.
