Brief Summary  
Mutrashmari or urinary stone is the most painful & common disease of the urinary system in human beings. It is the third most common affliction of the urinary tract, exceeded only by UTI and BPH. As per classics Ashmari is included in Ashta mahagada due to its fatal nature. Total 30 patients will be selected and whole sample will be given Apamarga 
Khsara capsule 500mg twice daily orally for 45 days.
The most common presenting symptoms of nephrolithiasis are sudden-onset, flank pain, haematuria, nausea, and vomiting. The pain waxes and wanes in the acute phase and patients are often unable to find a comfortable position and appear writhing in pain.
In the present study, Apamarga Paniya Kshara will be used as a remedy in Mutrashmari and have Lekhana(scraping) and Bhedana (cutting) properties, so these are more suitable for Mutrashmari as they help to expel out the Mutrashmari by reducing its size. Necessary assessment parameter will be used here and final assessment and conclusion may be made through statistical analysis.
The conclusions will be drawn on the basis of findings at the end of the study by evaluating the findings of subjective and objective parameters.
