One of the most sought after ingredients in the world, this amazing organic and natural herb from the rainforests of the Amazon is called the "stone breaker" or "stone crusher" because of its legendary ability to dissolve or eliminate kidney stones and gallstones. Organic Chanca Piedra or Phyllanthus Niruri is used for various disorders of the urinary tract including infections, pain and swelling (inflammation), kidney stones, gallbladder stones, and discharge from the urethra or vagina. It is also used for digestive tract disorders including gas, loss of appetite, stomach ache, intestinal infections, constipation, and dysentery. Research in India has found that the plant promotes optimal gallbladder and liver function. South American physicians have used chanca piedra to treat diabetes and scientists at Toyama University in Japan have isolated a compound in chanca piedra that can be used to treat high blood pressure. Additionally, the plant has been used as a diuretic, pain reliever, appetite stimulator and digestive aid. Due to its ability to help rid the body of excess water, long-term use of chanca piedra may interfere with medical conditions in which taking diuretic substances isn't advised. In light of these properties, toxicity or side effects among clinical study participants have not been reported. Please consult a doctor for your specific use and health conditions.
