Abstract

Medicinal plants have been valued for millennia as a rich source of therapeutic compounds for the prevention of various ailments all throughout the world. Kidney stones and urinary calculi affect a huge percentage of the population nowadays. Stone sickness has become more prevalent as a result of changes in living conditions, such as industrialization and hunger. The most common stone recorded in India is calcium oxalate kidney stones. Changes in prevalence and incidence, the occurrence of stone kinds and stone position, and stone removal treatment are all discussed. Medicinal herbs have been utilised for centuries because they are safer, more effective, culturally acceptable, and have less adverse effects than manufactured medications. Patients are advised to consume a low-fat diet, as well as fibres from naturally occurring plants and herbal treatments. The current article discusses the steps that should be taken to maximise the potential of medicinal plants for stone dissolving action. Combining herbal remedies with allopathic treatment is an excellent way to eliminate all issues associated with kidney stones. The purpose of this article is to emphasise the use of bryophyllum pinnatum as a treatment for urinary stones.
