Different types of <em>Ashmarighna </em>formulations ranging from herbal to mineral have been described in <em>Ayurvedic</em> classical texts<em>.</em> The formulations containing herbal drugs only have shown limited success that too requiring prolonged medication. Most of the times, patients seek surgical intervention as the final resort. So, there is a need to evaluate and validate the mineral and herbo-mineral preparations indicated for <em>Mutrashmari (</em>urinary calculi<em>)</em> in Ayurveda. <em>Pashanavajra Rasa</em>, a herbo-mineral preparation prescribed for <em>Mutrashmari</em> is mentioned in Ayurveda. It contains <em>Kajjali</em> which acts like catalyst, <em>Punarnava</em> and <em>Pashanabheda </em>as <em>Ashmarihara</em>, seems to be a product with high potential but less evaluated.</p&gt;}, number={4}, journal={Journal of Ayurveda and Integrated Medical Sciences}, author={Amit Kumar Karna and Astha Ray}, year={2021}, month={Sep.}, pages={180 - 184} }
