        abstract = {This case report describes a 31-year-old male patient diagnosed with renal calculi. Kidney stones are solid deposits formed from minerals and salts in concentrated urine. The patient presented with severe, intermittent pain in the left loin region radiating downward. Treatment was planned based on symptom similarity and the principles of Ayurveda. Ayurvedic formulations, including Kulatha Kwatha, were administered, resulting in notable improvement in pain, urinary symptoms, and stone expulsion. Background:  Mutrashmari is a disease classified as Asthamahagada, which means "difficult to cure." It is Kapha Pradhana Tridoshaja Vyadhi. Due to the resemblance in clinical manifestations, Mutrashmari is compared to urolithiasis. Urolithiasis, a pathological condition of the urinary system where aggregation of urinary crystalloids takes place anywhere in the urinary tract, i.e., from the kidney to the urinary bladder, showing male predominance (male: female = 3:1) and currently becoming a medico surgical and economic challenge for entire health care systems. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Viddhakarma and Shamana Chikitsa in Mutrashmari (Urolithiasis).  Materials and Methods: It is a single case study. A 31-year-old male patient who was clinically diagnosed case of Urolithiasis 3 years ago visited to OPD with complaints of Vrikka Parshava Shoola (Pain in the bilateral kidney and b/l flanks region), which was radiating from the loin to the groin region in late night, usually, Mutrakriccha (difficulty in maturation), and Mutradaha (Burning micturition) for the last 2 months. The patient was treated with a total of 4 sittings of Viddhakarma given at the lateral border of the thumb of the bilateral legs on the same day of every week, along with Shamana Chikitsa. Results: The patient showed highly significant results before and after the completion of treatment. All signs and symptoms of the patient resolved, and there was no trace of calculi in both kidneys, according to the USG report after 1 month. Conclusion: Highly significant relief in symptoms was seen in the patient after 1 month of Ayurvedic treatment.},
