Also known as Quebra Pedra

Chanca piedra literally means "Stone Breaker." In the Amazon jungle, indigenous people have used chanca piedra for ages to help eliminate excess calculi formation. It works by relaxing the smooth muscles around the ureter and bile duct, easing the release of stones.*

Chanca piedra is a good example of morpism, that is the relationship between the shape of the plant and its application. Under the leaves of chanca piedra are located little spheres resembling stones.

Chanca Piedra is also a tonic for the digestive system and is effective at creating an intestinal environment unfavorable for intestinal parasites. In India, chanca piedra is called Budhatri and is used for the treatment of various conditions of the lung and airways. Many studies described in scientific literature suggest that canca piedra might have anti-viral properties.*
