Abstract

Mootrashmari (Urinary Stone or urolithiasis) is most common disease of urinary system. Urolithiasis causes pain, loss of working time, medical expenses, need for hospitalization and an infrequent cause of renal failure. In modern science the best possible treatment for urinary calculus is use of various drugs to correct involved pathologies and use of diuretics as well as surgical intervention including open surgery, percutaneous techniques (PCNL), Extra Corporal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) etc. Even after surgery there are high chances of recurrence because urinary stones have peculiar tendency of recurrence. Similarly in Ayurveda also, various researches are going on to find out a suitable treatment option to manage Mootrashmari. Aacharya Sushruta has described various medicines as well as surgery in Mootrashmari. In this review article, in most of the studies Ghrita, Kwaatha, Choorna, Kshaara Dravyas, were given in the one group of patients and showed the encouraging results. This review article is attributed to the researches on Mootrashmari carried out at I.P.G.T. & R.A., Gujarat Ayurved University, Jamnagar, and Gujarat.
