ABSTRACT

Ashmari is one among the eight most difficult to cure diseases (Ashtamahagada) described in Ayurveda classical
texts. The symptomatology of Ashmari resembles the clinical features of Urolithiasis mentioned in the
contemporary medical science. Urolithiasis is third most common disease of the urinary tract. Conventional
management of Urolithiasis does not have any effect on the pathogenesis of this disease and therefore, recurrence
of disease occurs very commonly. Ashmari is the third most common and distressing affliction of the urinary tract.
It possesses symptoms such as Jwara (Fever), Basti Pida (Discomfort and pain in the bladder), Aruchi (Anorexia),
Mutrakriccha (Difficulty in micturition), Bastishira Vedana (Pain in Urethra), Mushka Vedana (Pain in testicles)
and Shepha Vedana (Pain in the penis) have been described in Ayurvedic classical texts. A 27-year-old Male

of pain in the right side of the Abdomen, Burning Micturition, Nausea and Vomiting. The USG reported Two
