In cohesion with Ayurveda, interstitial cystitis is due to the imbalancing of vata and pitta dosha. Aggravated Vata and pitta dosha produce the toxic substances in kidney, urethra and pelvic area. Accumulation of toxic substances causes the frequent and painful urination. Vata dosha symbolizes dryness in body. Apana vata in found in lower pelvic region and helps in the good filtration by urine, stool and menstruation processes. Pitta dosha symbolizes heat in body. Burning sensation or painful sensation in the urine is an indicator of aggravated pitta dosha.
