Abstract

Vrikkashmari is disease having its own identity equally in both sciences, Ayurveda as well as Modern and afflicting about 2% of people. It is more common in male than female. Although there is great advancement has been made in the field of modern science yet there is a still need for a specific line of treatment which is non-invasive and affordable. Nowadays everybody is in a state of rush. This in turns ends with abnormal food habit, less intake of water, lots of wetness which increases chance of getting stone. The consumption of food materials like milk (High in calcium), Leafy vegetables, tomatoes (High in oxalate), meat and non-veg food (High in protein content) increases the rate of renal calculus. To avoid the incidence of recurrence after surgical removal of stone and in search of an effective conservative treatment Gokshur Punarnavadi yoga has been taken.
