Review of a selective Ayurvedic formula in the management of Ashmari (Urinary stones)

Abstract

One of the most prevalent illnesses in Mutravaha Srōtasa (The bodily channel responsible for urine) is Mutrāshmari. Mutrāshmari is difficult to treat and requires extra care. Āchārya Sushruta listed it as one of the Ashta Mahāgada (eight dreadful disorders). It is related to urolithiasis, or urinary calculi in modern medical science. The prevalence of Mutrāshmari is rising in the modern day for a number of reasons, including altered eating habits, altered lifestyles, stress as well as strain, and environmental pollution. Cucumis melo and Leea indica are the chosen herbs in a traditional formula, and this review's goal is to investigate how well those selected herbs manage to treat Ashmari. Information about Ashmari was acquired from Ayurvedic scriptures, contemporary texts, and earlier research studies (from primary and secondary sources). It was thought that two herbs could help with Ashmari and afterwards a survey of the literature was done on those two herbs. Also these selected herbs were examined for their Pancha Padārtha (5 elements of the herb) and pharmacological qualities. Selected paste shows anti-urolithiatic and anti-hypercalciuric action. According to a literature review and Pancha Padārtha analysis, those selected herbs are useful in the treatment of Ashmari..
