Abstract

Vrikka Ashmari (kidney stones) is a common urinary disorder, characterized by severe pain, dysuria, and hematuria. This case study evaluates the efficacy of Panchakarma therapy in a 35-year-old male patient with bilateral renal calculi and hydronephrosis. The treatment included Purvakarma (oleation and fomentation), Pradhanakarma (Yoga Basti with Sahacharadi Taila and Varunadi Kashaya), and Paschatkarma (dietary rehabilitation). Post-treatment assessments showed significant relief in pain, dysuria, hematuria, and tenderness, with complete resolution of symptoms. Follow-up medications included Punarnava Mandoor, Chandraprabha Vati, and Gokshuradi Guggulu. The study demonstrates Ayurveda’s potential in managing urolithiasis effectively.
