Chanca Piedra is a herbal supplement made from the plant Phyllanthus niruri, traditionally used in South American and Ayurvedic medicine. Here are its most common uses:
1. Kidney Stones
- May reduce stone formation by reducing crystal aggregation, interfering with calcium oxalate crystal growth and slightly altering urinary chemistry
- May help relax urinary tract muscles, reducing ureter spasms and making it easier for small stones to pass
- Can have a mild diuretic effect which can help flush out very small stones or sand-like crystals, and reduce stagnation in the urinary tract
2. Gallstones
- Used in traditional medicine to reduce crystallization of cholesterol in bile, improve bile flow and support liver-gallbladder function
3. Liver Support
- May be used for antioxidant activity as it contains compounds that may reduce oxidative stress in liver cells and protect against toxin-induced damage
- Some research suggests an effect on Hepatitis B virus replication
- Some studies suggest it may support general liver enzymes by helping normalize ALT and AST liver enzymes in toxin-induced liver stress
4. Diuretic and Urinary Tract Cleansing
- May increase urine output and promote "flushing" of the urinary systems
- This may help reduce mineral buildup, support urinary tract comfort and possibly reduce recurrence risk of small stones
5. Antimicrobial and Antiviral Effects
- Some studies suggest it has activity against some bacteria and certain viruses
Important to know:
- Not a replacement for medical treatment, especially if you have significant kidney stones
- Consult a doctor before using if taking blood pressure medications, diabetes medications or lithium
