→Concepts of kidney and formation of urine
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.
