Abstract
Urolithiasis, known as Ashmari in Ayurveda, is a common urinary disorder characterized by stone formation due to metabolic and dietary factors. Ayurveda describes Ashmari as a result of Dosha imbalance, predominantly Kapha, and recommends the use of Ashmarighna, Mutrala, Lekhana, and Bhedana drugs for its management. India has a rich tradition of using medicinal plants for urinary stone disorders, many of which are widely available and traditionally validated. In recent years, experimental studies have provided scientific support for the lithotropic activity of these plants. This narrative and analytical review was conducted using classical Ayurvedic texts, the Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India, and peer-reviewed scientific literature to comparatively evaluate selected herbal drugs. Plants such as Bergenia ligulata, Aerva lanata, Rotula aquatica, Tribulus terrestris, and Crataevanurvala demonstrated significant anti-urolithiatic activity. Their Ayurvedic attributes showed strong correlation with modern pharmacological mechanisms, including inhibition of calcium oxalate crystallization, increased diuresis, nephroprotection, and anti-inflammatory effects. The study highlights convergence between Ayurvedic principles and modern scientific validation, supporting the potential of these herbs in evidence-based management of urolithiasis.
