The incidence of KSD in the world is at least 3% and continues to progressively increase [4; 5; 6]. [...]over the past decade, the absolute number of registered patients with nephrolithiasis has increased by 34.5% in the Russian Federation [7]. The medicinal herbal preparations are characterized by mild action, the absence of side effects, which makes possible their long-term use to provide multidirectional action in the KSD chronicity [8; 12; 13; 14] Based on experimental data, as well as information about the etiology and pathogenesis of urolithiasis, chemical composition of biologically active substances of plants, and the experience of their use in official and alternative medicine, the preparation prescription has been developed for the prevention and treatment of urolithiasis, including drug plants (DP): cowberry leaves, horsetail grass, burdock roots, fruits of a sulfur root and felon herb. When viewing the preparation under the magmtier (10·) and the stereomicroscope (16·), the following can be seen: - pieces of leaves of various forms, coriaceous, bare, green on the one side, and light green on the other side with dark brown dots (glands) (cowberry leaves); - pieces of stems and branches elongated, rigid, segmented, and partially edged ones, with grey-green nodes and axils, sometimes split with a light yellowish core (horsetail grass); - pieces of roots in transverse and longitudinal sections with the remains of brown and greyish-brown cork, greyish white, sometimes yellowish in color at the fracture (burdock roots); - pieces of leaves of various shapes: thin, bare and green on the one side, and strongly pubescent with thin white (silvery) hairs on the other side; pieces of green stems in transverse and longitudinal sections with a white spongy core; as well as integral and partially powdered inflorescences - light green capitula with pubescent phyllaries (felon herb); - integral and partially powdered half-fruits up to 5 mm long, up to 3 mm wide, wide elliptical, slightly convex with three filiform and with two lateral flat pterygoid edges on the one side (back), and flat on the other one; greenish-brown with yellowish edges. When examining a squash preparation, a mesh cork is seen of thin-walled cells with brown walls, parenchyma cells with and without contents, vessels and tracheids (Figure 10). [...]it was established that all the morphological and anatomical signs of the preparation components corresponded to the regulatory documents and info
