3 months ago I had to go by ambulance to the hospital because I had a 6mm stone stuck 1 inch above the bladder. The 3 stones have been in my kidneys for 6 years now and they were 9mm 6mm and 4mm. The 6mm decided it wanted to leave and that started the problems. I started taking the stone breaker 3 times a day and when I went back to the doctor 3 months later as that is how long it took to get in to see the doctor the xray showed nothing was there. So the doctor order another xray a cat scan this time as it is more accurate. I went today and the results were the 6mm is gone and the 9mm and 4mm that were left in the kidneys are now only a few pieces that are 2-3mm in size. This worked better than I ever thought it would as I was just hoping it would get ride of the one 6mm stuck just outside the bladder. I am going to order more and take it for the next year as that is when I am to go back to the doctor and see if it gets rid of the 2-3mm pieces that are left. I would recommend this product to anyone with kidney stones and if you don't see results at first just keep taking it as it may take longer for different people as there stones may be different.Read More Read Less

An ultrasound revealed I had a kidney stone and was advised it would pass within a week. Researched and found chanca piedra and started taking 3 times a day as noted on bottle. CT scan a week later showed kidney stone was completely gone. It had passed and I didn't have a clue when it did. I plan to incorporate this into my diet as a preventative measure. I did have trouble with the liquid form (30-40 drops per one glass of water) as it had a strong celery smell and taste. I will definitely switch to pill form!Read More Read Less

I was using chanca piedra for kidney stones for about a month. It worked for me. But there are some problems I need to share. Right after I drink the tea, I start feeling very tired and sleepy. Long term usage would result in tiredness and fatigue. The tea should not be used by people whose diet is low in fat and carbs!

I took Chanca Piedra with another herb Hercampuri, to treat Acid Reflux. It improved my condition within 2 months, but since it recurred occasionally I was advised to continue it for a year. At the end of six months the acid reflux was gone. An unexpected benefit was the elimination of moderate/severe eczema that I had had for over 30 years! I stopped taking the extremely strong topical steroids and have not gone back, it has been almost 2 years since. These herbs are wonderful. I had no side effects. I continued the treatment for another year as I reintroduced foods that formerly I had sensitivity to. I have tiny patches of eczema that have occasionally recurred when I indulge heavily in nuts or tomatoes. Nothing like what I had before.Read More Read Less

I am 26 and had my first kidney stone this week. I was advised to purchase this after the traditional medication was not easing my suffering. This could be a coincidence, but after 12 hours the pain was gone. I still have not expelled the stone after 2 days of use, but my energy level has returned. I am feeling like myself again!

I have suffered from Kidney Stones for most of my life. The most I have had at one time is 8. Needless to say this condition has had a significant impact on my life. I can not work when I have multiple stones and the pain is beyond words. I have spent up to a month waiting for a stone to pass. Also I have had several surgeries to remove the stone/stones at a considerable expense. The recovery from a kidney stone operation is dreadful with lots of pain and bleading. A friend sent me an article on Chanca Piedra (Phyllanthus niruri). I immediately purchased some in a capsule form 500 mg. I take it three times a day. Since taking this herbal supplement I have not had any kidney stones, when in the past I would get at least one every two months. I highly recommend that people try this herbal supplement if they suffer from kidney stones. It can be purchased at most local herbal shops or on line. It has worked for me.Read More Read Less
