Kidney Stone (Pathri) - Unani Treatment in Amroha
Kidney stones are hard deposits of minerals and salts that form inside the kidneys. Small stones may pass on their own with plenty of fluids, while larger stones can block urine flow and cause severe pain. Stones are common in hot climates like Uttar Pradesh, especially when people drink too little water.
At Hashmi Dawakhana, Amroha, our hakims review your ultrasound report and symptoms, then plan Unani treatment for kidney stone together with diet and fluid guidance. Many people ask about Ayurvedic remedies for stones; Unani has its own classical approach (Hisat-e-Kulliya), and we will tell you honestly when a stone needs a urologist instead.

How Unani medicine approaches it
In Unani medicine, kidney stones (hisat-e-kulliya) are linked to thickened humours and impaired urinary excretion. Treatment traditionally uses diuretic formulations (mudirr-e-baul) to help small stones pass and to lower the chance of new ones, along with diet changes. Evidence that any herbal medicine dissolves stones is limited.
Size and position matter. Stones that are small and not causing blockage are more suitable for conservative care. Large stones, blockage, infection or uncontrolled pain need urgent hospital or urologist care.
- Review of ultrasound or CT report for stone size and position
- Individually prescribed Unani formulations for small stones and prevention
- Fluid plan - typically enough to pass 2-2.5 litres of urine a day
