Kidney Health and Ayurveda

Vrikka is the word that Ayurveda uses for the kidneys which are formed by rakta (blood) and medha dhatu (fat tissue) combined. Vrikka is said to be the source or root for medovaha srotas (fat tissue channel). Apana vayu (downward moving vata) is responsible for regulating kidney function and helping to eliminate urine and stool in the downward direction.
