Abstract: 
Urinary stone disorder has afflicted human kind since antiquity and can persist, with serious medical consequences, throughout a patient’s lifetime. The common component of urinary stone is calcium oxalate (CaOx). In spite of tremendous advances in the field of medicine, there is no truly satisfactory drug for the treatment of renal calculi. In the indigenous system of medicine, the leaves Mentha piperita (family- Labiatae) Elettaria cardamom (zingiberaceae) and Syzygium cumini (family-Myrtaceae) are reported to be useful in the treatment of urinary stones. Hence, in the present study, the Mentha piperita, Elettaria cardamom and Syzygium cumini have been selected for their In vitro Antiurolithiatic activity on experimental kidney stones of calcium oxalate crystals.
