Kidney Stone Ayurvedic Treatment in Pune – Natural Relief from Ashmari
At Dr. Phalle's Ayusanjivani Ayurveda Centre, we offer a non-surgical, root-cause approach to kidney stones (Ashmari) — combining classical herbs, Panchakarma therapies, and personalised diet correction to dissolve, expel, and prevent recurrence of renal calculi.
Understanding Kidney Stones
What is a Kidney Stone?
Kidney stones, medically known as renal calculi, are small, hard mineral deposits that form inside the kidneys when urine becomes concentrated and allows minerals and salts to crystallize. They can range in size from a tiny grain of sand to a stone as large as a golf ball, and are typically confirmed through medical history, physical examination, and imaging tests such as X-rays, CT scans, or ultrasounds — with stone-composition analysis helping determine the exact type.
While kidney stones often go unnoticed while lodged inside the kidney, they can cause excruciating pain in the back, side, abdomen, or groin once they begin moving into the narrow ureter. In Ayurveda, this condition is classically known as Ashmari (also called Mutrashmari or Vrikkashmari) — a disease that, according to Acharya Sushruta, begins with disturbed digestion in the colon before the vitiated doshas travel to the kidneys and crystallize into stones.
At Dr. Phalle's Ayusanjivani Ayurveda Centre — a trusted Ayurvedic clinic in Wagholi and Kharadi, Pune — our doctors identify the stone type, its dosha origin, and its size before recommending a personalised, non-surgical Ayurvedic treatment plan aimed at dissolving and expelling the stone naturally while correcting the root imbalance that caused it.

Types of Kidney Stones
Understanding Every Type of Kidney Stone
Kidney stones are not all the same — each type forms from a different mineral imbalance and needs a different Ayurvedic approach. Our doctors identify your exact stone type before recommending therapy.
Calcium Oxalate Stones
The most common type of kidney stone, formed when excess calcium combines with oxalate in the urine. High-oxalate foods like spinach, beets, and nuts, along with low fluid intake, are major contributing factors. In Ayurveda this correlates with Kapha-Vata dominant Ashmari, treated with diuretic, lithotriptic herbs and dietary correction.
Calcium Phosphate Stones
Formed from calcium combined with phosphate, these stones are often linked to certain metabolic conditions and alkaline urine. They frequently occur alongside calcium oxalate stones and are addressed with the same core Ayurvedic principles of dosha correction and Ashmari-bhedana herbs.
Uric Acid Stones
These form when there is excess uric acid in the urine, often linked to a history of gout or high-purine diets. Ayurveda classifies these under Pittaja Ashmari, causing burning pain and inflammation, and treats them with Pitta-pacifying herbs and dietary changes.

Struvite Stones
Struvite stones are usually associated with urinary tract infections and can grow rapidly, sometimes becoming quite large. Managing the underlying infection is essential alongside Ayurvedic stone-dissolving therapy. See our related page on Urinary Tract Infection Treatment →
Cystine Stones
A rare type caused by a genetic disorder called cystinuria, which results in excessive excretion of the amino acid cystine in the urine. These stones tend to recur and require long-term dietary management combined with Rasayana (rejuvenative) Ayurvedic support.
Xanthine Stones
Xanthine stones are extremely rare and are associated with a hereditary condition called xanthinuria, which leads to high levels of xanthine in the urine. As with cystine stones, management focuses on long-term dietary and metabolic support alongside Ayurvedic care.
The Ayurvedic Perspective
How Ayurveda Understands Ashmari (Kidney Stones)
Tridosha Imbalance & Ashmari Formation
Classical Ayurvedic texts describe Ashmari as originating from disturbed Agni (digestive fire) in the colon, after which the vitiated doshas travel to the kidneys and urinary tract, where they combine with Kapha-dominant mucus and gradually crystallize into a stone — much like sugar syrup hardens into rock candy. Depending on which dosha dominates, three distinct patterns of Ashmari are described.
Vataja Ashmari produces small, rough stones with severe, colicky pain, straining, and bluish urine. Pittaja Ashmari causes burning micturition, inflammation, and reddish or bloody urine due to excess heat. Kaphaja Ashmari forms large, smooth, heavy stones with a dull, persistent ache and mucus in the urine.
Our treatment at Dr. Phalle's Ayusanjivani Ayurveda Centre is designed around this classification — pacifying the dominant dosha, using Ashmari-bhedana (stone-breaking) herbs to soften and disintegrate the stone, and supporting elimination through hydration therapy and targeted Panchakarma such as Basti and Uttar Basti.
Causes
What Causes Kidney Stones?
Understanding the underlying cause helps our doctors design a treatment plan that addresses your specific stone type and prevents recurrence.
High-oxalate foods like spinach, beets, and nuts, along with excess animal protein and sodium, increase stone-forming risk.
Inadequate fluid intake concentrates the urine, making it far easier for minerals and salts to crystallize into stones.
A family history of kidney stones — and inherited conditions like cystinuria — significantly increases individual susceptibility.
Conditions such as hyperparathyroidism, gout, and recurring urinary tract infections can directly lead to stone formation.
Excess body weight alters urinary composition and metabolic patterns, raising the risk of kidney stone development.
In Ayurveda, poor digestion allows toxins (Ama) to accumulate and travel to the kidneys, seeding stone formation over time.
Symptoms
Common Symptoms of Kidney Stones
Recognising these symptoms early allows for timely Ayurvedic intervention, before the stone grows or causes complications.
Intense pain in the back, side, abdomen, or groin as a stone moves through the urinary tract.
Pink, red, or brown-tinged urine caused by irritation of the urinary tract lining.
A burning or painful sensation while passing urine, especially as the stone nears the bladder.
Severe stone pain often triggers nausea and vomiting due to shared nerve pathways.
An increased, urgent need to urinate, often passing only small amounts at a time.
Fever with chills may indicate an associated urinary infection and needs prompt attention.
A change in urine clarity or odour can signal infection accompanying the stone.
Classic "renal colic" pain that comes in waves, making it hard to find a comfortable position.

For patients who have undergone lithotripsy or surgery, we offer Abhyanga, gentle Basti, and dietary rehabilitation to prevent recurrence.
⚠️ Important: Panchakarma therapies such as Basti, Uttar Basti, Virechana, and Raktamokshana are advanced procedures and should only be performed under the supervision of a qualified Ayurvedic physician.
