There are no direct references in Ayurvedic classics regarding the role of kidneys in the process of formation of urine. The word pakwashaya (colon) is mentioned as the site of formation of urine. It should not be considered in anatomical or physiological aspects of conventional medicine. Ayurvedic texts emphasize more on therapeutic relevance of the organs. The description may not always match with modern views. This concept has a very good therapeutic utility. The drugs and therapies having action on colon (pakwashaya) are successfully used for promoting proper formation of urine from its original site (kidney).

Word vrikka is found in Rigveda but not as an organ but as a medicinal plant. According to Bhashya the word vrikka means ‘averter of diseases’. Thus, in similar manner we may understand the vrikka as organ also. [Rigveda 1/187/10]

Similarly, the word “vrukka” used for denoting kidneys indicate that it has the capacity of healing itself. This self-healing power of vrukka (kidney) shall be explored and promoted by Ayurvedic treatment.

A clinical study of 100 patients of chronic renal failure (other than diabetic nephropathy) to study effect of [[ayurveda]] therapy was conducted. Decoction enema (niruha basti) with punarnavadi kwatha daily and oral administration of gokshuradi guggulu, rasayana churna and varunadi kwatha as per the protocol were prescribed for a period of one month. In this study, statistically significant results were obtained in levels of serum creatinine, blood urea and albumin in urine along with considerable relief in signs and symptoms.<ref>Patel MV, Gupta SN, Patel NG.
