Kidney Stone
Kidney stones, medically known as renal calculi and referred to in Ayurveda as Ashmari, are hard mineral deposits that form inside the kidneys due to an imbalance in bodily fluids and metabolism. These stones develop when substances like calcium, oxalate, uric acid, or phosphate become highly concentrated in urine and crystallize over time.
Ayurvedic Understanding
In Ayurveda, kidney stones are not seen as a sudden condition but as the result of long-term doshic imbalance, improper digestion (Mandagni), toxin accumulation (Ama), and disturbed urinary channels (Mutravaha Srotas).
Types of Kidney Stones
Kidney stones can vary in composition and size. Each type requires a different approach to treatment, which Ayurveda addresses through personalized herbal formulations and dietary guidance.
Calcium Stones
Most common, often formed due to excess calcium or oxalates in the urine
Uric Acid Stones
Linked to high protein intake and metabolic disorders affecting uric acid levels
Struvite Stones
Associated with urinary tract infections and bacterial growth
Cystine Stones
Rare and genetic in nature, caused by hereditary disorders
Common Causes of Kidney Stones
Kidney stones may develop due to one or multiple factors. Ayurveda focuses on correcting the root cause, rather than just breaking the stone.
- Low water intake and chronic dehydration
- Excessive consumption of salty, spicy, or protein-rich foods
- Poor digestion and toxin buildup
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Recurrent urinary tract infections
- Genetic predisposition
- Long-term use of certain medications
Signs & Symptoms
Symptoms can range from mild discomfort to severe pain, depending on the size and location of the stone. Some stones remain silent until they start moving, making early prevention crucial.
Fever and chills (in case of infection)
Burning sensation during urination
Frequent urge to urinate
Blood in urine (pink, red, or brown color)
Cloudy or foul-smelling urine
Nausea or vomiting
Sharp or cramping pain in the lower back, abdomen, or groin
Ayurvedic Perspective on Kidney Stones (Ashmari)
According to Ayurveda, kidney stones are caused by an imbalance of Vata and Kapha doshas, leading to thickened urine and crystal formation. The classical texts describe Ashmari as a condition that requires comprehensive treatment. Ayurvedic treatment works gently yet effectively, without damaging kidney tissues.
