Abstract

Ayurveda has emerged as a new hope for the world in terms of its usefulness in treating various diseases with minimal adverse effects. The holistic approach towards health and disease is the major strength of this science. It has gained a lot of acceptance and appreciation around the globe. To meet the expectations of the scientific community at every level, it is important that the system is explained to the modern world in the language and the terminology they understand. At the same time, if anatomy and physiology of excretory system is clear, it will be helpful for the Ayurvedic physicians to understand the pathological conditions of this system of the body and their effective treatment. Ayurveda has presented a very brief description about the structure and function of the excretory system. It has only mentioned the existence of the structures which may be responsible for functions of excretion. This article is an effort to explain the anatomy of excretory system explained in Ayurvedic texts in view of modern day knowledge.
