Anti-lithic

Anti-lithic agents work by altering the composition of urine, reducing crystallization, or promoting the gentle breakdown and expulsion of stones. Herbs with anti-lithic properties are often diuretics or have compounds that reduce inflammation and mineral aggregation. Chanca piedra (Phyllanthus niruri), commonly called “stone breaker,” is renowned for its ability to prevent and dissolve kidney and gallstones. Dandelion leaf (Taraxacum officinale) is a diuretic that supports kidney health by flushing out excess minerals. Hydrangea root (Hydrangea arborescens) has a long history of use in soothing and supporting the urinary tract while addressing stone formation. These herbs offer natural and supportive ways to promote urinary tract health and stone prevention.
