        abstract = {Cholelithiasis (gallstone formation) is a common gastrointestinal disorder. While Ayurvedic classics do not explicitly describe cholelithiasis, the term Ashmari is mentioned in the context of urinary calculi. Surgery is the most common treatment for gallstones; however, the need to remove the entire gallbladder has led to a growing interest in non-surgical alternatives. Currently, allopathic medical management of gallstones remains limited in efficacy.This study explores the potential of Ayurvedic treatment as a safe and effective non-surgical approach to cholelithiasis. A 79-year-old male patient presented to the OPD in National Institute of Ayurveda, Jaipur with complaints of severe abdominal pain, anorexia, abdominal distension, and vomiting. The diagnosis of cholelithiasis was confirmed through physical examination and diagnostic investigations. The patient was administered Arogyavardhini Vati, Varunadi Kashaya, Yavakshara, gokshuradi guggulu, rohitakarishtha and Katuki Churna for three months. Follow-up after three months showed significant improvement in clinical symptoms and ultrasonography (USG) findings.These findings suggest that Ayurvedic management may offer a promising non-surgical treatment for cholelithiasis. Further studies with larger sample sizes are recommended to validate these results.},
