Kidney stones are one of the most common and painful urinary disorders seen today. Known as Mutrashmari in Ayurveda, this condition occurs when mineral deposits accumulate and form hard stone-like masses in the kidneys or urinary tract.
Poor diet, dehydration, stressful lifestyle, and improper metabolism have made kidney stones increasingly common even in younger individuals.

Ayurveda provides a holistic, natural, and effective approach to dissolve stones, relieve pain, prevent recurrence, and improve overall urinary health.

Understanding Kidney Stones in Ayurveda (Mutrashmari)

Ayurvedic texts describe Mutrashmari as a Tridoshaja Vyadhi, mainly dominated by Vaata and Kapha dosha imbalance. When Kapha increases, it causes thickening and accumulation of minerals, while aggravated Vaata leads to obstruction and pain.

There are different types of kidney stones in Ayurveda based on dosha dominance, but the general treatment focuses on:

• Removing obstruction

• Regulating urine flow

• Breaking down the stone

• Preventing recurrence through detox and diet

Causes of Kidney Stones

1. Lifestyle & Dietary Causes

• Drinking insufficient water

• Excess intake of salty, sour, spicy, and oily foods

• High consumption of tea, coffee, alcohol, and aerated drinks

• Eating food containing high oxalates (spinach, nuts, chocolate)

• Skipping meals or eating incompatible foods

2. Metabolic Causes

• High calcium or uric acid levels

• Poor digestion (weak Agni)

• Excessive sweating

3. Other Causes

• Holding urine for long periods

• Sedentary lifestyle

• Genetic predisposition

Ayurveda emphasizes that weak digestion and impaired metabolic fire play a major role in stone formation.

🔍 Symptoms of Kidney Stones (Mutrashmari)

• Sharp, severe pain in the lower back, abdomen, or sides

• Radiating pain toward the groin

• Burning sensation or pain during urination

• Blood in urine (Hematuria)

• Frequent urge to urinate

• Nausea, vomiting

• Reduced urine output

• Cloudy or foul-smelling urine

Pain can be intermittent or constant depending on the size and movement of the stone.

🌿 Ayurvedic Treatment of Kidney Stones
