The prevalence of kidney stones is growing fast worldwide especially among pregnant women and old aged people. Prevention depends mainly on the type of stone. Assessment of urine Ph may be helpful to evaluate the stone. Fruits and vegetables can be used to alkaline urine and so prevention of oxalate, calcium, cystein and uric acid stones. To prevent calcium phosphate kidney stones, urine should be acidulated. Spasmolytic drugs and urteroscopy can be used along with hydrotherapy for treatment of acute kidney stones.
Avecina tried to cure kidney stones with using medicinal plants having diuretic property. Therefore, diagnosis and treatment of kidney stones are not so different from the modern medicine point of view and Avecina medicine. However, Avecina focuses on using medicinal plants and then changing urine Ph to treat stones while modern medicine relies on chemical drugs and special diet to cure kidney stones

Cuttle fish bone, so-called, is the internal shell of the cuttle, Sepia officinalis(Class Cephalopoda) has it's own value in traditional therapy.
In this study we tried to find out the physical and chemical stability and limited microbial test of Cuttle fish bone with semisolid system.
Materials and Methods: Fifty grams of the orginal sample of Cuttle fish bone were collected from bushehr(a southern state in Iran) and confirmed by department of Pharmacognosy. The first sample of Cuttle fish bone were used to investigate chief constituent of cuttle fish bone( 80 to 85 per cent. of calcium carbonate) by multiple methods determination of calcium by EDTA. The second a portion about ten gram were powdered at room temperature and levigated before formulation. Following of levigate, eucerin, vaselin and cold cream basics was added and hemogenated. The formulations was prepared in ucerin and vaselin basics for physical stability (duble phase,color and odour change) at refrigerator, room temperature and 45 centigrad(˚C) and chemical stability at 45,55 and 65˚C. Samples of product were also tested for microbial assys (limited microbial test).
Results: The results showed that the basic of eucerin was the best physical stability. Calcium amount of Cattel fish doesn,t change at 45,55 and 65˚C. Cell cultures of Cattel fish was examined for pathogenic microbs.
