Urolithiasis is formation of calculi anywhere along the course of urinary tract. Urolithiasis can cause post- renal acute kidney injury via obstruction of urinary outflow often set off end stage renal disease (ESRD). Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is the treatment of choice which is not conducive because of side effects (internal bleeding, kidney damage) and high rate of recurrence (about 60% within ten years). There is a scope to find out a medicine which is effective with less side effect. Ashmari is one among the ashta mahagada.So the early diagnosis and proper treatment in proper time is very important in it.In the present study an effort is made to evaluate the Effect of Combination of kshara (Ash) of bark of varuna (Crataeva nurvala Buch – Ham) and yava (Hordeum vulgare Linn) along with guda (Jaggery) and ghrita(Cow’s Ghee) in Urolithiasis. The study drug varunadi kshara yoga is mentioned in Vangasena Samhita Asmari rogaadhikara. Kshara chikitsa is mentioned in treatment of ashmari. Study drug is easy to administer and if proven by clinical trial, drug can be used in the better management of urolithiasis.The trial drugs were subjected to preliminary phytochemical analysis.This study assess the the Effect of Combination of kshara (Ash) of bark of varuna (Crataeva nurvala Buch – Ham) and yava (Hordeum vulgare Linn) along with guda (Jaggery) and ghrita(Cow’s Ghee) in Urolithiasis in patients with size of stone between 2mm to 10 mm determined by Ultra Sonography of abdomen.Participants of age group of 20 to 65 years were selected as per inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria. Primary outcome variables size of stone and secondary outcome variable like routine urine analysis (R.B.C, pus cells) and assessment criteria score were analysed before and after treatment. The pre and post data test data will be analysed statistically using paired t test and Wilcoxon ranked t test. Study concludes that the trial drug combination of kshara of bark of varuna (300mg) and yava (150mg) with ghrita(75mg), guda (75mg) administered once daily for 30 days is effective in reducing stone size and symptomatic relief of participants.
