Kidney stones of 3 cm are considered very large and cannot be dissolved completely with medicines alone. Smaller stones can be easily dissolved… Surgical intervention is usually required for stone. This size post surgery for prevention you can start Ayurvedic Kharb. Encourage her to drink. Plenty of warm water. Avoid excessive oxalate rich follow-up regularly with a urologist

Hello Diya ji,

I completely understand your worries about your daughter’s kidney stone, but there’s no need to stress—we’re here to help you every step of the way! 😊

✅ AYURVEDIC TREATMENT PLAN

✅ INTERNAL MEDICATION

1. Varunadi kashaya 15ml-0-15ml + 45ml water after meals—this helps break down stones and clear any urinary blockages.

2. Chandraprabha vati 1-0-1 after meals—this balances all doshas and alleviates urinary issues.

3. Stonex 1-0-1 after meals.

✅ DIETARY ADVICE

✅ Make sure to drink plenty of warm water (aim for 3–4 liters daily, sipping throughout the day). ✅ Enjoy coconut water daily—it’s a fantastic natural remedy for stones. ✅ Barley water is great as a diuretic and helps flush out stones. ✅ Horse gram soup (kulthi dal) is excellent for breaking down stones naturally. ✅ Include fruits like watermelon, pomegranate, and sweet lime for their alkaline effects.

❌ Try to avoid excess salt, sour foods, red meat, fried or oily foods, tomato seeds, brinjal, and too much spinach.

✅ LIFESTYLE MODIFICATIONS

Make it a habit to walk daily to boost circulation and urine flow. Avoid holding in urine for extended periods. Cut back on excessive tea and coffee.

✅ SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES

👉 Start your day with lemon + warm water—citrate helps prevent new stone formation.

👉 A mix of jeera, dhania, and saunf water (boiled and reduced, taken warm) can relieve burning sensations and improve urine flow.

👉 A small amount of Ayurvedic Varandi ghrita (1 tsp daily) can protect your urinary tract from damage caused by stones.

With Ayurveda, we can support the shrinking of stones, alleviate pain, and help prevent future occurrences through remedies like Varunadi kashaya and Chandraprabha vati, along with some dietary and lifestyle adjustments.

Wishing you good health! 😊

Warm regards,
Dr. Snehal Vidhate

HELLO DIYA,

In Ayurveda, kidney stones are known as “Ashmari”- this word means “formed like a stone” in the urinary system.

WHY STONES FORM -agnidushti (poor digestion and metabolism) -Ama(toxins) accumulation -Kapha vata imbalance -excess of minerals like calcium, uric acid or oxalates in urine -Drinking less water -suppressing urine urges -excess consumption of salty, sour, spicy, fried foods

These imbalances cause the crystallisation of minerals and block the urine channels(Mutravaha srotas), leading to stone formation

TREATMENT GOALS -break down and dissolve the stones(litholytic action) -flush out small stones through urine -prevent formation of new stones (anti-recurrence) -correct digestion and metabolism (balance agni) -detoxify urinary channels(srotosodhana)

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) VARUNDAI KASHAYA= 20 ml + equal water twice daily before meals =breaks down stones, clears urinary obstruction

2) PASHANBHEDADI VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =strong stone dissolving pain reducing medication

3) GOKSHURADI GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =diuretic, anti-inflammatory, supports kidney

4) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =strengthen urinary tract, prevents infections

5) PUNARNAVA MANDUR= 1 tab twice daily after meals =improves kidney function, removes swelling

6) CYSTONE TAB(himalaya )= 1 tab twice daily after meals =helps in prevention and flushing out stones

DURATION= usually 2-3 months continuously

DIETARY AND LIFESTYLE ADVICES Diet plays a crucial role in preventing new stones and supporting kidney health

WHAT TO EAT -warm, light foods= khichdi, moong dal, barley, daliya -Plenty of fluids= aim for 2.5-3 L /day -Coconut water=naturally diuretic -Lemon water without sugar= prevents stone formation -Barley water -clears urinary tract -Vegetables= bootle gourd, ash gourd, cucumber, ridge gourd -Fruits= watermelon, papaya, amla -Spices= cumin, coriander, fennel, turmeric

WHAT TO AVOID -Tomato with seeds, spinach, beetroot= high in oxalates -Milk and milk heavy products= avoid excess panner, cheese -Oily, fried, spicy foods= increases toxins -soft drinks, coffee, tea, alcohol -non veg food- especially red meat -holding urine- avoid delaying urination

Regular yoga improves kidney circulation and helps detoxification

RECOMMENDED YOGA ASANAS -Vajrasana= after meals -Pawanmuktasana= relieves abdominal pressure -Bhujangasana -Dhanurasana -Ardha Matsyendrasana-gentle twist for kidneys

PRANAYAM -Anulom Vilom= balance vata and pitta -Sheetali= cools body, prevent stone formation -Bhramari= calming and anti inflammatory

AVOID EXCESSIVE PHYSICAL STRAIN OR HOLDING URINE

EFFECTIVE HOME REMEDIES

1) Jeera coriander fennel tea -boil 1 tsp each in 2 cups of water, reduce to 1 cup. sip warm, twice daily =helps digestion and acts as mild diuretic

2) BARLEY WATER -soak 2 tbsp barley in water overnight, boil, next day and drink throughout the day =helps flush urinary tract

3) LEMON JUICE WITH WARM WATER -fresh lemon juice in warm water every morning helps prevent stone formation - high in citrate content

4) BANANA STEM JUICE -100 ml daily-excellent natural lithotropic

5)COCONUT WATER -natural alkaliser and diuretic- prevents crystal formation

REPEAT ULTRASOUND= every 3 months

-your current stone size 3cm is quite big and is very difficult to pass naturally, especially with alone ayurvedic management -Ayurveda is highly effective In stone dissolution, recurrence prevention, and improving kidney strength, when followed properly and consistently

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Dissolving large kidney stones of 3 cm through Ayurveda can be quite a task, and I’d suggest considering a blend of medical interventions and natural remedies. If the stones are causing serious pain or affecting kidney function, it’s crucial to seek immediate medical assessment as large stones can obstruct the urinary tract or cause infections. These situations often require more swift medical interventions like lithotripsy or ureteroscopy.

For an Ayurvedic approach, the first step is understanding the type of stones she has. Once medically confirmed, specific formulations can be employed. If the stones are confirmed to be due to Vata imbalance, remedies like Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa) can help in reducing inflammation and aid in dissolving the stones. Administering Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris) is known to support the urinary tract and might prevent further crystallization. Ideally, these herbs should be taken under a physician’s guidance, with the dosage adjusted based on her Prakriti (body constitution).

Diet plays a crucial role here too. Encourage her to stay hydrated—approximately 10-12 glasses of water can flush out small particles. It’s good to avoid oxalate-rich foods such as spinach, beets, and potatoes, which can exacerbate stone formation. Include barley water or coriander seed decoctions at least once a day, which helps in clearing the Urinary system. House-hold spices like turmeric and cumin can be beneficial due to their anti-inflammatory properties.

In terms of lifestyle, regular physical activity can be vital. Opt for yoga postures like “Pavana Muktasana” which may promote detoxification. But remember: With stones this large, it’s important to align any traditional remedies with guidance from healthcare professionals to prevent emergencies.

Considering the size and duration of the kidney stones your daughter is experiencing, it is crucial to first evaluate the urgency of the situation. Stones that are as large as 3cm can be potentially serious and may require immediate medical intervention. In cases like this, it’s highly recommended to consult a healthcare provider to assess whether surgical procedures are necessary, as Ayurvedic remedies might not be able to dissolve stones of this size effectively or timely.

However, for supporting the regular functioning of the kidneys and as a complementary approach, certain Siddha-Ayurvedic practices can be integrated into her regimen. First, addressing any imbalances in the doshas, particularly Vata and Pitta, may prove beneficial as these can influence kidney function. Encourage her to maintain a warm, well-balanced diet, avoiding overly spicy, salty, or sour foods which aggravate Pitta.

It might be beneficial to introduce Ayurvedic formulations like Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa), which supports renal health and aids in stone management. Also, Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris) is often used traditionally to maintain urinary tract health. For administration, a practitioner should be consulted to ensure appropriate dosages and to monitor any interactions with ongoing treatments.

Ensure she stays well-hydrated, drinking fluids such as warm water with a splash of lemon, which is though to help maintain urine flow and can aid in flushing out smaller particles. Stress the importance of routine kidney function assessments to track the stones’ sizes.

Please do prioritize seeking urgent medical consultation to prevent complications from these sizeable stones as they may require a surgical or other immediate intervention. Addressing this promptly is critical for her health.
