Product Description

Chanca piedra means "stone breaker" throughout South America and the Amazon and it is widely used in South America for kidney stones and gallstones.* Tropical plants in the genus Phyllanthus have a long history of use in traditional Indian medicine for kidney and bladder problems. Recent scientific study has focused on its ability to help people with hepatitis, though research is ongoing.

Traditional Uses:* for kidney stones and gallstones (active stones and as a preventative); to tone, balance, strengthen, detoxify and protect the kidneys and to reduce uric acid and increase urination; to tone, balance, strengthen, detoxify, and protect the liver (and to balance liver enzymes).

Suggested Use: Take 2-6 caps twice daily; depending on pain experienced. This plant is best prepared as an infusion (tea): Use one teaspoon of powder for each cup of water. Pour boiling water over herb in cup and allow to steep 10-15 minutes. Strain tea (or allow settled powder to remain in the bottom of cup) and drink warm. It is traditionally taken in 1 cup dosages, 2-3 times daily.

Contraindications: None reported.

Drug Interactions: None reported; however, it might potentiate antihypertensive and diabetic drugs.

Other Observations:

  • Chanca piedra has been documented to reduce blood pressure in animal studies. Individuals with low blood pressure should be monitored for this possible effect.
  • Has been documented with female antifertility effects in one mouse study. The use of the plant is probably contraindicated in women seeking pregnancy.
  • This plant has demonstrated hypoglycemic activity in animal studies. Individuals with hypoglycemia should be monitored more closely for this possible effect.
