STONE CRUSHER PACK

Description

Abstract

Kidneys are vital organs that filter blood, remove toxins, balance fluids, regulate electrolytes, and maintain overall metabolic harmony. Healthy kidneys are essential for proper blood pressure, waste elimination, and overall well-being. Modern lifestyles, poor diet, dehydration, excessive medication, diabetes, and hypertension can compromise kidney function, leading to disorders such as kidney stones, infections, or chronic kidney disease. In today’s article our main focus will be on Kidney Stones, their Ayurvedic view and what Planet Ayurveda offers for managing them.

Introduction

Kidney stones, or Renal Calculi, are solid crystalline formations that develop within the kidneys due to the crystallization of minerals and salts in the urinary system. These stones can vary in size, shape, and composition, commonly including calcium oxalate, uric acid, phosphate, or cystine. In Ayurveda, this condition is referred to as Ashmari, classified under disorders of the Mutravaha Srotas, involving the vitiation of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha doshas. Proper Ayurvedic management focuses on restoring balance, supporting urinary health, and facilitating the natural expulsion of these stones to maintain overall kidney function and well-being.

• Gout
• Hyperparathyroidism
• Dehydration (low fluid intake)
• Obesity and metabolic syndrome
• Genetic predisposition or family history
• Excessive consumption of animal protein
• Structural abnormalities of the urinary tract
• High dietary intake of salt, sugar, and oxalate-rich foods
• Cystinuria (genetic disorder causing excess cystine in urine)
• Urinary tract infections (especially urease-producing bacteria)

Types Of Kidney Stones

Kidney stones are classified based on their chemical composition. The main types include:

1. Calcium Stones (Most common type): Made of calcium oxalate or calcium phosphate
2. Uric Acid Stones: Formed due to high uric acid levels, Often associated with acidic urine or high-purine diets.
3. Struvite Stones: Composed of magnesium ammonium phosphate, Usually develop due to urinary tract infections.
4. Cystine Stones (Rare type): Caused by cystinuria, a genetic disorder leading to excess cystine in urine.
5. Other Rare Types: Mixed stones or stones containing other minerals.

Symptoms Of Kidney Stones

Kidney stones may present with a variety of symptoms, which can vary depending on the size and location of the stone. Common symptoms include:

• Nausea and vomiting
• Blood in the urine (hematuria)
• Cloudy or foul-smelling urine
• Burning sensation during urination
• Urinary tract infections in some cases
• Pain radiating to the groin or genital area
• Frequent urination or urgent need to urinate
• Severe pain in the back, side, or lower abdomen (renal colic)

Diagnosis Of Kidney Stones

The diagnosis of kidney stones involves a combination of medical history, physical examination, and imaging or laboratory tests to confirm the presence, size, and location of stones. Common diagnostic methods include:

1. Medical History & Physical Examination: Assessing symptoms, pain location, and risk factors.
2. Urine Tests: Detect blood, crystals, or signs of infection.
3. Blood Tests: Evaluate kidney function and levels of calcium, uric acid, and electrolytes.
4. Imaging Techniques:
   • X-ray (KUB) – identifies certain stones
   • Ultrasound – safe and non-invasive
   • CT Scan – most accurate for stone detection and size measurement
5. Stone Analysis: If passed or removed, stones may be analyzed to determine composition for targeted treatment.

Ayurvedic View Of Kidney Stones

In Ayurveda, Kidney Stones are described under the term “Ashmari”, which literally means “a stone-like formation in the urinary system.” It is considered one of the Ashta Mahagada (eight grave disorders) mentioned by Acharya Sushruta, indicating its severity and complexity.

1. Pathogenesis Of Kidney Stones As Per Ayurveda

“तत्रासंशोधनशीलस्यापथ्यकारिणः प्रकुपितः श्लेष्मा मूत्रसम्पृक्तोऽनुप्रविश्य बस्तिमश्मरीं जनयति |”

(Su/Ni/Ch. No. 3 Verse No. 4)

In individuals who neglect regular purification and indulge in unhealthy foods and lifestyle habits, aggravated Kapha mixes with urine, travels to the urinary bladder, and remains there, leading to the formation of Asmari (urinary calculi or stones).

2. Types Of Kidney Stones As Per Ayurveda

(Su/Ni/Ch. No. 3 Verse No. 3)

There are four types of Asmari (urinary stones) and all of them are formed due to aggravated Kapha dosha, but they are classified based on which factor is mainly involved — Kapha, Vata, Pitta, or Shukra (semen).
