The excruciating pain of passing a Kidney Stone is much worse than the pain you suffer when having a baby! At least, that’s what most of the people said when interviewed

The pain suffered by each person with a “Kidney Stone” varies between each individual. Small stones similar to sand or fine gravel may well pass through without much pain and discomfort. Changes in lifestyle can really affect us all in many different ways

Millions of people develop kidney stones every year and will have to face the potentially serious health risks associated with them in the present, plus the problems of managing them 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.

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

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”.

Males between the age of 30 to 50 years old are considered more prone to develop “Kidney stones” than their younger counterparts. Women tend to suffer less, with the rate being about 4:1 occurring in men

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.

Dr. Martin Milner the HSI medical editor says 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.

Chanca Piedra’s benefits don’t stop there either, they actually help to prevent the kidney stones from forming in the first place
