Introduction: Aṣmari is described in Suśruta Saṃhitā as a disorder of the Mūtravāha srotas and is classified under Aṣṭamahāgāda. Urinary stone disease affects 3–5% of the global population, with rising prevalence due to metabolic disturbances and environmental factors. According to Chakradatta, oral Ayurvedic drugs with properties such as Chedana, Lekhana, Bhedana, and Mūtrala, like Elādi Kwātha, may aid in urinary stone management and should be considered before surgical interventions.
Case Presentation: A 25-year-old female presented to the Outpatient Department of Shri Khudadad Dungaji Government Āyurved Hospital, Raipur (C.G.), on 10 January 2025, with burning micturition, right flank pain radiating to the groin, and orange-colored urine for two days. Urolithiasis was diagnosed, and surgery was advised.
Intervention: The patient was treated with Elādi Kwātha and Eranda Taila for 90 days in three regimens. Clinical assessments were performed every 15 days, evaluating symptom relief and stone size.
Outcome: After 90 days, significant reduction in pain, burning micturition, and stone size was observed, resulting in improved quality of life. Follow-up assessments indicated sustained symptom relief and no recurrence.
Conclusion: The combination of Elādi Kwātha and Eranda Taila demonstrated potential as an effective conservative management for Mūtrāśmari corresponding to urolithiasis.
