Renal calculi, or kidney stones, are becoming increasingly common across the globe, affecting populations in both developed and developing countries. This condition is complex in nature, involving genetic predisposition, biochemical imbalances, and epidemiological factors. Its occurrence varies widely due to differences in dietary habits and socioeconomic conditions in different regions. Ancient scholars like Acharya Sushruta have also emphasized the importance of urinary disorders, showing that this problem has existed since early medical history. Although multiple treatment options are available today, they are often costly and mostly accessible in advanced healthcare settings. Additionally, recurrence of stones even after surgical removal continues to be a major concern. Therefore, there is a strong need to develop a treatment for Ashmari (kidney stones) that is affordable, effective, and easily accessible to the general population.
