Kidney Stones

What Are Kidney Stones According to Ayurveda?

In Ayurveda, kidney stones are referred to as Ashmari. Ashmari develops due to an imbalance of Kapha, Vata, and Pitta doshas, improper digestion (Mandagni), dehydration, and accumulation of metabolic waste in the urinary system.

Ayurveda believes that instead of only removing the stone, treatment should:

• Break down and dissolve the stone naturally

• Improve urine flow

• Reduce inflammation and pain

• Correct digestion and metabolism

• Prevent stone recurrence

Common Causes of Kidney Stones

From an Ayurvedic perspective, kidney stones may occur due to:

• Inadequate water intake

• Excessive intake of salty, spicy, or junk food

• Suppression of natural urges (especially urination)

• Sedentary lifestyle

• Recurrent urinary tract infections

• Imbalance of Kapha and Vata dosha

Types of Kidney Stones (Ashmari Bheda)

Ayurveda classifies kidney stones into four main types:

1. Vataja Ashmari – Severe pain, dryness, difficulty in urination

2. Pittaja Ashmari – Burning sensation, yellow or reddish urine

3. Kaphaja Ashmari – Larger stones, heaviness, dull pain

4. Shukraja Ashmari – Rare, related to reproductive factors

Identifying the stone type helps in customizing treatment for faster and safer recovery.
