Ayurveda has already detailed it, including the pathogenesis, symptoms, kinds, palliative care, and surgical options. Minerals and salt combine to form kidney stones. It affects one in ten persons on the planet. In Ayurveda, kidney stones are similar to Ashmari. ‘Ashm’ has the connotation of a stone, while ‘Ari’ denotes opponent. Medication for pain, antispasmodics, antivomitics, and fluids are the treatments for kidney stones. Small renal calculi are easier to pass through the urine when properly hydrated. The surgical procedure known as lithotripsy is used on patients who have kidney stones that reoccur. Still, there is a potential of surgical complications.
