Ayurvedic classics always emphasized the need of advancement in the science to keep pace with the need of time. Now the right time comes to get fruitful researches in such disease where Ayurveda can offer a better hand than any other medical field. As the advancement of facilities human being has created several disharmonies in his biological system. Ashmari is one of the most common and distressing disease among the group of urinary disorder. In the ancient period the diagnosis of Ashmari was done, based only on the Lakshanas.
