ABSTRACT

Renal calculus, commonly known as kidney stones, is increasingly prevalent worldwide, affecting both industrialized and developing regions. This condition is multifaceted, involving genetic, biochemical, and epidemiological factors. Variations in its epidemiology are influenced by changes in diet and socioeconomic status across different regions. Historical texts, such as those by Aacharya Sushruta, highlight the longstanding significance of urological disorders in medical science. Despite the availability of various treatments today, they are often expensive and limited to advanced medical centers. Moreover, the recurrence of stones remains a challenge even after surgical procedures. Thus, there is a pressing need for a cost-effective, efficient, and accessible treatment for Ashmari (kidney stones).
