Rajpoot Ranjana*

ABSTRACT

The incidence and prevalence rate of Kidney stones and stuck ureteral stones are growing by leaps and bounds. Generally ureteral stone, causing extremely severe pain, become more worrisome and need emergent attention. As they obstruct the flow of urine and developed back pressure to kidney which may cause hydronephrosis in kidney and hydroureter. Individual whose diet is rich in animal proteins and low in fibers & fluids, working under high stress, bed ridden, suffering from high blood pressure, are generally at higher risk for developing the kidney stones. Today most admired treatment of ureteral stone is extra shock corporeal lithotripsy and uretroscopy which although have good success rate, limited morbidity but complex and costly. This paper shows an attempt to use the herbo-mineral drug combination of ashmarihar capsule and ashmarihar kasaya in the treatment of ureteral stone by disintegrating it into smaller size to expel with urine in effective and very shorter period considering size of stone. This treatment may also prevent their further formation.
