Abstract Renal or ureteric colic is an acute and severe pain caused by obstruction in the ureter. It usually occurs in the narrower areas of the ureter. It can be associated with severe pain, nausea, vomiting, urinary infections, haematuria, hydronephrosis, etc. Whereas homoeopathic literature enlists many medicines for this condition, there is a paucity of evidence based published studies. Case Summary: A case of bilateral renal calculus left measuring approximately 10 mm in size and located at lower calyx of left kidney and right measuring approximately 3 mm in size, located at mid calyx of right kidney, presented with severe cutting pain extending downwards from the left lumbar region to the left groin area. The patient had severe pain at the conclusion of urination. The homoeopathic medicine PARIETARIA 1M was given on the basis of keynote symptoms for 3 days. The pain reduced in 3 days and subsequent to an acute colicky pain and some bleeding, after the lapse of about 3 months, the stone was expelled. This case report shows the potential of Homoeopathy in cases of large urinary calculi.
