Difficulty in Micturition (Difficulty Passing Urine)

If the prostate is not the cause of difficulty passing the urine, then Avipattikar Churna can help. Avipattikar Churna has diuretic action. It acts on APANA VATA, which induces urination and helps in excretion, as per ayurvedic concept. It corrects the action of APANA VATA, which helps in a proper flow of the urine.
