Abstract

Ashmari is one of the most common diseases of Mutravaha Srotas (Urinary system) which occur due to improper functioning of the filtration in the kidney. Acharya Sushruta considered Ashmari as a grave disease and fatal as death itself (Astamahagada). It has become a global problem but are particularly common in some geographic locations such as India, South Africa, and South -East Asia. Men are affected more than women and the peak age at onset is between 20 and 45 years. It is estimated that approximately 2 -3% of the populations experiences renal stone disease at some time in their life. It is characterised clinically by colicky pain (Renal colic) as they pass down along the ureter and manifest by haematuria, nausea or vomiting. In ancient times, Ashmari was diagnosed only on the basis of the Lakshanas but in present era it's tough to make a diagnosis based just on clinical findings. So, it is confirmed by imaging techniques likes X - ray, CT scan.

Keywords: Ashmari, Urolithiasis, some important drugs in Ayurveda for Ashmari.
