Small “kidney stones” can be like fine gravel or sand, and can pass through the urinary tract without too much discomfort or pain. But our lifestyles can effect what happens to our bodies and can change us in different ways, sometimes with dire results.

An unbelievable number of people develop “Kidney Stones” each year. The potential health risks they face can be quite serious, without taking into account the issues of handling the problem in the future.

when you get a ‘kidney stone’ and it starts to move, it can cause irritation in the tubes. This can make then become inflamed, which in turn makes the problem worse. The properties of Chanca Piedra actually reduces the inflammation and breaks the stone down, thus allowing the stone to ‘pass through’ often without discomfort.

You do not usually develop a kidney stone whilst you are young. Typically males are more likely to develop a stone between that ages of approximately 30 to 50 years. The ratio between men and women is about 4:1

In September 2000 the HSI issued an article which said that researchers and I quote ” had uncovered a time-tested solution that can finally manage your kidney stones. It says “From the depths of the Amazon rain forest comes an herb that not only helps expel stones, but actually blocks them from forming. The locals know it as chanca piedra, the “stone breaker,” and have been using it for generations”.

While you are not (typically) likely to get a kidney stone in your younger years, they are more predominant and do tend to occur in hitherto healthy males from 30 to 50 years old. The men to women ratio for kidney stone problems is 4:1

One of the symptoms of kidney stones is a sudden intense pain, usually concentrated along one side of the back. These attacks of intense pain can be so bad that it can in some case induce vomiting and/or nausea causing the sufferer great distress in the process. Another potential problem is that they may scratch the lining of the urethra, causing blood in the urine. If left untreated, stones can block urine flow and result in injury and kidney failure.

According to HSI medical editor, Dr. Martin Milner, this also makes chanca piedra a possible treatment for menstrual cramping and hypertension. The urinary tract is a tight, narrow tube. Chanca piedra relaxes that tube, opening it up and letting the stones move down with much greater ease. And greater ease means less pain. How successful is chanca piedra in expelling stones? Dr. Wolfram Wiemann of Nuremburg, Germany, an advocate of the herb, investigated the question. After carefully reviewing over 100 case studies, he found the herb 94 percent successful in eliminating stone.

But the stone breaker’s benefit doesn’t end there. Because Chanca Piedra prevents stones from forming!
