Abstract
Background: Ashmari is described in Ayurveda as a grave disorder of the Mutravaha Srotas characterized by the formation of urinary calculi. Acharya Sushruta classifies it under Ashta Mahagada, highlighting its chronicity, severity, and difficulty in management. In modern medicine, it correlates with urolithiasis (renal calculi), a common urological condition associated with high recurrence and complications. The prevalence has increased due to lifestyle factors such as low fluid intake, high salt consumption, sedentary habits, metabolic abnormalities, and genetic predisposition. It commonly affects individuals between 20 and 40 years of age and may lead to renal impairment if untreated. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of Shamana Chikitsa in Mutrashmari (Urolithiasis). Materials and Methods: It is a single case study. A 26-year-old female patient visited the Kayachikitsa OPD with complaints of Painful micturition, burning micturition, and Pain in the flanks on and off for 15 days. The patient was treated with Shamana Chikitsa for 3 months. Results: The patient showed significant results after the 3 months of Shamana chikitsa. All symptoms of the patient resolved, and there was some decrease in the size of calculi in both kidneys, and no trace of bladder calculi according to the USG report after 3 months. Conclusion: Significant relief in symptoms was seen in the patient after 3 months of Ayurvedic Shaman chikitsa.
