Abstract

Introduction: Urolithiasis, the third most prevalent condition affecting the  Mutravaha srotas, has a significant recurrence rate and adversely affects the  quality of life. The current study aims to investigate the collective impact of  Ayurvedic medication, dietary modifications, and lifestyle adjustments on the  fragmentation and elimination of calculi.  Material & Methods: A 35-year-old male patient presenting with symptoms of  abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and painful urination was diagnosed with  ashmari based on clinical manifestations and investigative findings. An  abdominal ultrasound scan revealed an elongated calculus measuring  approximately 9.6 mm in the lower ureter of the right kidney, accompanied by  proximal hydroureteronephrosis. The patient was administered the two  Chandraprabha Vati along with Tranpanchmoola Kashayam (40 ml) twice daily  before meals. Additionally, after a meal, two Gokshuradi Guggulu tablet  crushed with Punarnavashtaka Kashayam were administered twice daily with  water for five weeks.  Results: The study aims to assess the impact of the prescribed Ayurvedic  treatment regimen on the fragmentation and elimination of the calculi.  Discussion: The study will contribute to understanding the efficacy of  Ayurvedic medication, dietary modifications, and lifestyle adjustments in  managing urolithiasis.  Conclusion: The collective impact of Ayurvedic medication, dietary  modifications, and lifestyle adjustments in the treatment of urolithiasis will be  evaluated in this study. The results will shed light on the effectiveness of this  integrative approach, potentially improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
