Role Of Ayurvedic Treatment In The Management Of Ashmari W.S.R. To Ureteric Stone – A Case Study

Abstract

Introduction: Acharya Sushruta has mentioned the Asthmahagada Roga, one of among which is Ashmari (Nephrolithiasis). In this era, it has become a global problem with a prevalence rate of 15% in the northern India and a notable recurrence rate, influenced by dietary and lifestyle changes. Ashmari (renal stone) is one of the most common disease of Mutravaha Strotas (urinary system) which occurs due to improper filtration of the Kidney.

Materials and methods: In this case, a 35-year-old patient attended the OPD on 24/01/2023 with a complaint of acute flank pain which was radiating in nature and associated with indigestion, vomiting and dysuria. Before coming to the hospital, she had already a diagnosed case of renal calculi. In this case, an attempt is made to study the effect of Aushadh like Trivikram Ras, Varunadi Kwatha, Syrup Cystone along Sheeta Prabha Vati.

Result: There is a reduction in left renal calculi and the dilation of the left ureter is over resulting in normal size of the left ureter noticed after the USG done on 24/02/2023.

Discussion: Here, filtration is affected due to the nucleation of crystals. Ayurvedic treatment including Shamana (pacification therapy) is adopted to reduce the size of renal calculi.
