Abstract

Ashmari- Urolithiasis is one of the most common diseases found globally. It is found that this condition is having recurrence in-spite of removal of stone by surgical methods in large number of cases. Even after surgical intervention the pathogenesis behind recurrent stone formation cannot be avoided. In Ayurveda, Urinary stone diseases have been described in details under the heading of Ashmari. Ashmari is considered as one among the Ashta-Mahagadas (Eight Fatal diseases). Sushrutacharya, „The Father of Surgery‟, has described its Etiopathogenesis, Symptomatology, Medical and Surgical treatment and Prognosis in detail. In present study an effort was made to evaluate the role of Parnabeeja (Bryophyllum pinnatum) swaras and Shigrumool kwath in the management of Mootrashmari.

Keywords: Mootrashmari, Parnabeeja swaras, Shigrumool kwath.
