Pivotal Role of Shamanoushadhi Chikitsa in the Effective Management of Urological Disorders: A Case Series

Abstract

Background: Urological disorders such as renal calculi, benign prostatic hypertrophy, and chronic renal dysfunction are prevalent conditions that significantly affect quality of life. Ayurveda emphasizes individualized management through Shamanoushadhi Chikitsa (pacifying therapy), which aims to restore balance in the Doshas and gently yet effectively eliminate disease manifestations.

Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of Shamanoushadhi Chikitsa using formulations like Varanadi Kashaya, Chandraprabha Vati, Gokshuradi Guggulu, and supportive Ayurvedic preparations in selected urological disorders.

Methods: This case series presents three patients with varied urological presentations who underwent individualized Ayurvedic management. Each case was documented according to CARE guidelines, including patient profile, diagnosis, therapeutic interventions, and outcomes.

Results: All three patients showed marked symptomatic relief and objective improvement in clinical and laboratory parameters. No adverse effects were reported.

Conclusion: The observed outcomes reaffirm the clinical relevance of Shamanoushadhi Chikitsa in managing urological disorders. Ayurvedic formulations, when administered with proper Dosha–Vyadhi assessment, can sustainably restore urinary system health.
