Ashmari In Ayurveda - #7409

Anonymously

My uncle has been suffering from kidney stones for years, and the pain during episodes is excruciating for him. Recently, someone suggested looking into Ashmari in Ayurveda, as they believe it offers effective remedies for kidney stones without invasive procedures. I’ve been trying to learn more about it, but I’m still unsure how it works or how reliable it is. From what I’ve read, Ashmari in Ayurveda refers to conditions like kidney or urinary stones and focuses on dissolving them naturally through herbal remedies, dietary changes, and therapies like basti. Are there specific herbs like varunadi kwath, punarnava, or gokshura that work best for dissolving stones? How are these typically used, and do they offer immediate relief from pain or take longer to show results? Another concern is whether Ayurvedic treatments can help prevent kidney stones from forming again. My uncle’s doctors have told him to avoid high-oxalate foods like spinach and tomatoes, but is there an Ayurvedic perspective on dietary restrictions? Do therapies like panchakarma or virechana help in flushing out toxins that might contribute to stone formation? If anyone here has successfully treated kidney stones with Ashmari in Ayurveda, I’d love to hear about your experience. Did it work for dissolving stones completely, or did it mainly help in reducing pain and inflammation? How long does it usually take to see results, and are there any risks involved?

Ashmari, in Ayurveda, refers to the condition of kidney or urinary stones, and Ayurvedic treatments aim to dissolve these stones naturally, reducing pain and inflammation without invasive procedures. Herbs like Varunadi Kwath, Punarnava, and Gokshura are commonly used to address kidney stones. These herbs have diuretic, anti-inflammatory, and stone-dissolving properties, helping to flush out toxins and prevent the formation of stones. They are often taken in the form of decoctions, powders, or capsules, and the results can vary based on the severity of the stones. Typically, Ayurvedic remedies might take longer to show results compared to modern treatments, but they can be effective over time with consistent use. As for pain relief, Ayurvedic treatments might not provide immediate relief from the acute pain of passing stones, but they can help reduce inflammation and ease discomfort in the long run. Ayurvedic therapies like basti (medicated enemas) and Panchakarma (detoxification treatments) can aid in clearing out toxins that might contribute to stone formation and help balance the doshas. These treatments can also improve overall kidney health. In terms of prevention, Ayurveda places emphasis on dietary management and lifestyle modifications. For example, avoiding foods that aggravate the Pitta dosha, like spicy and sour foods, and incorporating diuretic herbs and foods that promote kidney health, such as cucumber, pomegranate, and barley, is recommended. While avoiding high-oxalate foods like spinach and tomatoes aligns with Ayurvedic dietary recommendations, it also stresses the importance of balancing the doshas and maintaining a holistic, well-rounded diet to prevent future stone formation. If anyone has used Ashmari treatments successfully, the time to see results can vary, but consistent use of Ayurvedic herbs along with a proper diet and lifestyle plan could help reduce the recurrence of kidney stones. However, it is essential to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner to tailor a treatment plan to your uncle’s condition, and also consider medical supervision when managing kidney stones to avoid complications.

In Ayurveda, Ashmari refers to kidney or urinary stones, and treatments aim to dissolve or expel stones naturally using herbs, dietary changes, and therapies like basti (enemas). Varunadi Kwath, Punarnava, and Gokshura are commonly used to support kidney health and help dissolve stones. These herbs typically take time to show results and may not provide immediate relief from pain, though they help reduce inflammation and support the urinary system. For prevention, Ayurveda suggests avoiding foods that aggravate pitta and kapha doshas, such as high-oxalate foods, and recommends a cooling, balanced diet. Therapies like Panchakarma and Virechana can help detoxify the body, potentially reducing the risk of future stone formation. Many people have found Ayurvedic remedies effective for reducing pain and inflammation, but results can vary. Long-term use and a holistic approach to diet, herbs, and lifestyle changes are key. It's best to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized treatment.
