Effective preventative and treatment measures are required due to the rising prevalence of kidney stones, also known as urolithiasis. Despite their ability to reduce symptoms, pharmaceutical therapies are frequently linked to undesirable side effects. Because plant therapies are safe, effective, and have fewer side effects, they are highly recommended in Ayurveda and Unani medicine for the treatment of urolithiasis. Numerous bioactive substances found in plants have the ability to decrease the formation of stones, boost urine production, and dissolve existing stones. Gomphrena globosa (L.), also referred to as Globe Amaranth, is one of the historically used herbs whose potential as a treatment for kidney problems has drawn attention. The potential of herbal treatments, including, Gomphrena globosa (L.) as alternatives to traditional medications is highlighted. Within the context of traditional and modern treatment approaches for urolithiasis, by highlighting a promising area for further research and clinical practice, this study aims to advance our understanding of plant remedies, particularly the therapeutic benefit of Gomphrena globosa (l.), for kidney stone prevention and management.
