In Ayurveda, kidney infections are linked to an imbalance in the Pitta Dosha, which causes inflammation and infection in the kidneys and urinary tract. Toxins (Ama) and poor kidney function further contribute to the condition. Ayurvedic treatments aim to detoxify the urinary system, reduce inflammation, and restore doshic balance for sustainable relief.
