RENAL CALCULI (PATHRI) and Unani Management

hey are called Pathri in Unani Medicine because of their shape and their sharp edges

. They usually occur in the kidney or urinary bladder. Mostly found in persons who have improper digestion. Decreased consumption of water, excessive intake of non-vegetarian food and alcohol are risk factors. Those accustomed to a sedentary life and bedridden patients are also prone to renal calculi.

Pain is the most prominent symptom which aggravates on movement, especially climbing, horse-riding, running etc. It originates from the back and radiates downwards and towards the front. If the stone injures the kidney, ureters, bladder or the urethra, it will result in bleeding which will show up in the urine.

The pain can become very severe if the stone gets impacted in the urinary tract. There will be difficulty.

INVESTIGATIONS AND TREATMENT :

Thanks to the development in imaging techniques it has now become easy to diagnose renal calculi through x-ray or ultra sonography.

Regular use of Ajwayin leaves (Trachyspermum ammi,Linn) prevents stone formation.

50 ml. of juice of Raihan(Ocimum sanctum,Linn) mixed with 5 ml. of honey taken regularly for 3 months helps in dissolving the stone and cleaning the passage.

Zeera safaid (Cuminum cyminum,Linn) 1 gm, kaknaj (Physalis alkekengi,Linn) 1 gm, misri (sugar candy) 3 gm are to be finely powdered and taken three times a day. It helps in dissolving the stone and clearing the passage.

Sange saremahi 1 gm. (well known to herb dealers), jawakhar (potassium carbonate) 500 gm, Rewand chini (Rheum emodi, wall) 250 gm.

All the above ingredients are to be finely powdered and taken three times a day for a period of 30 to 45 days..
