Mutrashmari is one of the most common disorders affecting the Mutravaha Srotas. The symptoms of Mutrashmari are pain in various parts of the urinary system like the basti, mehana and sevani during micturition, obstruction in urine flow, haematuria and urine resembling gomedaka, resemble with the clinical presentation of urolithiasis. Acharya Sushruta has described a comprehensive approach to its management, including both Shastra karma (Surgical interventions) and Bheshaja prayoga (Medicinal therapies), such as the use of ghrita, taila and Kshara Prayoga. In this clinical study, Apamarga Paneeya Kshara and Shwadamstravarunadi Kwatha have been selected to evaluate and compare their efficacy in managing Mutrashmari.
