Abstract
One of the major kidney diseases that needs a well-targeted therapeutic approach is urolithiasis. For the treatment of lithiasis, a number of medications are available, including diuretics and stone inhibitors, however clinical examination of these medications has revealed a frequency of relapses, adverse effects, and drug interactions. This has served as the justification for the development of new antilithiatic medications, and the hunt for novel molecules has now included herbal medications that provide superior defence and lower relapse rates. Plant-based medications are becoming more popular and are being researched for a variety of illnesses, including lithiasis. A set of medicinal plants known as pashanabheda (literally, ”stonesolving”) are utilised by Ayurvedic doctors in India as anti-urolithiatic medications. The present article reviews the antilithiatic activity of some of the medicinal plants. Here attempt is made to review a few medicinal plants with documented anti-urolithiatic action. In this study, some of the significant plants noted for their antilithiatic effects have been highlighted. Keywords: Urolithiatic; AntiUrolithiatic; Maceration; Turbidimetry; Calcium Oxalate
