Abstract

Since ancient times Ashmari is mentioned in Ayurvedic texts. Ashmari is a disease related to the urinary system (Mutravahasrotas). Mutrashmari is described under Asthamahagad (difficult to cure) in Ayurveda.[1] It possesse symptoms such as Iwara (Fever), Basti Pida (Discomfort and pain in the bladder), Aruchi (Anorexia), Mutrakriccha (Difficulty in micturition), Bastishira Vedana (Pain in Urethra), Mushka Vedana (Pain in testicles) and Shepha Vedana (Pain in the penis) have been described in Ayurvedic classical texts.[2] A 49-yearold male patient visited OPD, with complaints of pain in the left side of the back and abdomen, Nausea and Vomiting. The USG reported calculus measuring 4.8 mm in size seen in the left kidney with the normal functioning of vitals. The patient was treated with Shigrumula kwatha and Yavakshara twice daily in OPD basis. The patient was advised initially follow up after 7 days and later after every 15 days. Along with medication, the patient was also advised to follow diet and lifestyle restrictions. The patient got relief in signs and symptoms and the USG report showed no evidence of calculi in the left kidney on 45th day.
