Daucus carota is a widely cultivated crop with traditional claims for its antiurolithiatic potential. &lt;strong&gt;Aim:&lt;/strong&gt; Present study was an attempt to investigate the antilithic potential of D. carota root extract (DCRE) against calcium oxalate (CaOx) urolithiasis by employing &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt; methods.&lt;strong&gt; Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Nucleation, growth and aggregation assay of CaOx crystallization were used. FT-IR analysis was used for characterizing CaOx crystals. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; DCRE exhibited significant inhibition of nucleation, growth and aggregation of CaOx crystals. It produced a favorable morphological transformation of CaOx crystals from calcium oxalate monohydrate to calcium oxalate dihydrate. FT-IR analysis confirmed formation of calcium oxalate monohydrate crystals to be utilized for growth and aggregation assays. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; DCRE possesses significant antiurolithiatic activity against CaOx urolithiasis&lt;em&gt; in vitro&lt;/em&gt; which could be attributed to its saponins, tannins, flavonoids and polyphenolic content.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">880</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sweta Bawari, Archana Negi Sah&lt;sup&gt;*&lt;/sup&gt;, Devesh Tewari&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
