National | July 16, 2026 — Himalaya Wellness Company’s Cystone Break Free Movement has been recognized by the Asia Book of Records for bringing together the largest number of doctors raising awareness about the prevention of kidney stones. The nationwide initiative engaged 8,248 medical professionals, predominantly General Physicians and AYUSH practitioners, in a coordinated effort to promote preventive healthcare and educate patients on reducing the risk of kidney stone disease.
Strengthening Preventive Healthcare Through Doctor-Led Awareness
Kidney stone disease continues to be a growing health concern in India, with recurrence rates remaining high among patients who do not adopt preventive measures. Recognising the critical role healthcare professionals play in patient education, Himalaya Wellness designed the initiative to encourage doctors to share practical, evidence-based guidance on kidney stone prevention within their own communities.
As part of the campaign, every participating doctor contributed a simple, actionable tip focused on kidney stone prevention. These recommendations were documented through photographs and uploaded to a dedicated digital platform, where they were transformed into personalized awareness flyers featuring the doctor’s advice alongside educational health content.
The digital resources were then shared directly with patients through communication channels such as WhatsApp, enabling credible, doctor-led preventive health information to reach communities across the country. The awareness campaign highlighted key preventive practices, including maintaining adequate hydration, adopting healthy dietary habits, making appropriate lifestyle modifications, recognising early symptoms, and seeking timely medical consultation.
Recognition Reflects the Power of Collaborative Healthcare Initiatives
The Asia Book of Records recognition highlights the scale of the initiative and demonstrates the impact that collaborative engagement between healthcare professionals and public health programmes can have in strengthening preventive healthcare awareness.
Commenting on the achievement, Mr. Vikas Bansi, Business Director – Healthcare, Himalaya Wellness Company, said:
“Kidney stone disease is largely preventable, yet awareness regarding effective preventive measures remains limited in many communities. This recognition belongs to the thousands of doctors who voluntarily participated in the campaign and extended valuable health education to their patients. We sincerely appreciate their commitment and partnership in making this nationwide awareness movement possible.”
Reinforcing the Importance of Early Prevention
The Cystone Break Free Movement forms part of Himalaya Wellness Company’s broader efforts to support preventive healthcare through sustained collaboration with the medical community. By empowering doctors to communicate directly with patients, the initiative aimed to ensure that preventive health messaging remains credible, accessible and relevant to everyday clinical practice.
The company noted that doctor-led awareness initiatives can play an important role in encouraging early intervention, improving public understanding of preventable conditions, and supporting healthier lifestyle choices among patients.

According to the company, Cystone supports more than 800,000 patients annually in the management of kidney stone disease. The product is available in both tablet and syrup formulations for the management and prevention of small to medium-sized kidney stones, while Cystone Forte is recommended by many specialists for larger stones as part of appropriate clinical management.
