How kidney stones form
Stones form when minerals such as calcium oxalate or uric acid crystallise in concentrated urine. Low water intake, hot weather, a high-salt diet, excess packaged food and family history all raise the risk. Many stones smaller than about 5–6 mm can pass on their own; larger ones may need a urologist.
Symptoms
- Sudden, severe pain in the back or side, spreading to the lower abdomen or groin
- Burning or frequent urination
- Pink, red or brown urine
- Nausea or vomiting with the pain
The Ayurvedic approach
Ayurveda describes stones as Ashmari. Treatment aims to reduce pain and spasm, help small stones move and pass, and correct the diet and fluid habits that allow stones to form. Time-tested herbal formulations for Ashmari are prescribed after reviewing your ultrasound or CT report.
Our plan
Review of your scan
Stone size and position decide what is safe. Bring your latest sonography or CT report.
Medicines and fluids
Ayurvedic medicines along with a daily fluid plan, including practical options like coconut water and barley water where suitable.
Diet for prevention
Less salt and packaged food, balanced protein, and guidance on high-oxalate foods based on your stone type.
Follow-up scan
A repeat scan confirms whether the stone has passed.
When to see a doctor urgently
Go to a hospital immediately if you have fever or chills with stone pain, pain that painkillers do not control, repeated vomiting, or very little or no urine. These can mean infection or blockage and need urgent care.

Frequently asked questions
Can Ayurveda dissolve kidney stones?
Ayurvedic medicines, fluids and diet can help small stones pass and reduce the chance of new stones forming. Large stones or stones causing blockage need a urologist. Your scan decides what is safe.
How much water should I drink?
Most people with stones are advised to drink enough to pass pale, clear urine through the day, often around 2.5–3 litres, unless your doctor has restricted fluids. You get a personal plan at your visit.
What should I avoid to prevent stones?
Excess salt, packaged and fried food, cold drinks and very high-protein diets. Guidance on foods such as spinach, tomato seeds and nuts depends on your stone type.
