Ayurvedic management of renal calculus: A review article

Abstract

Renal calculus is one of the most prevalent clinical diseases seen in clinical practice. Renal calculus is becoming more common in both industrialised and developing nations. This entity is considered complex, involving genetic, biochemical, and epidemiological aspects. The epidemiology of renal calculus may fluctuate in different parts of the world as a result of changes in key parameters, such as dietary habits and socioeconomic position. Aacharya Sushruta has provided a detailed account of the urinary system and disorders associated with it. It is obvious from the research of ancient texts that urological issues remain a very significant component of medical science. Currently, different forms of therapies are accessible but they are very costly and only available in higher centres, and it is not possible to avoid recurring stone formation even after surgical intervention. It is therefore essential to find out an economical, efficient, readily accessible and acceptable treatment of Ashmari.
