The Chanca Piedra herb is part of a large plant genus known as Phyllanthus. These plants are found in tropical regions all over the world, from China to India to the Amazon rainforest. In India, Phyllanthus plants are traditionally used for liver and kidney ailments. In the rest of Asia, they are considered a remedy for digestive disorders, while in South America, people use them for urinary tract infections. In Africa, they are believed to be useful for malaria and wound healing.
Nutritional composition :
The Chanca piedra plant contains an abundance of bioactive components that provide numerous health benefits. The most important of these are:
- Tannins (geranin, corilagin) - they fight viruses, bacteria and free radicals and serve as prevention against chronic inflammatory diseases; they also help prevent cancer;
- Lignans (phyllanthin, hypophyllanthin) - have anticancer properties;
- Flavonoids (gallocatechin, rutin, quercetin, kaempferol) - have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Health benefits :
The Chanca piedra plant is best known as a potential cure for kidney stones, which is why the herb has earned the nickname “The Stone Breaker.” The herb is alkaline, so it can help prevent the development of acidic kidney stones. It acts as a diuretic.
Some studies have found that Chanca piedra extract can neutralize the bacterium that causes stomach ulcers - Helicobacter pylori.
The antioxidants in Chanca piedra are able to improve fasting blood sugar levels, which may be beneficial for patients with diabetes mellitus.
The alkalizing properties of Chanca piedra may help prevent gallstones, and the herb is used in some traditional medicine practices to treat these types of problems.
Gout can occur when high levels of uric acid build up in the blood. Chanca piedra can help balance these levels, thereby preventing attacks of this disease.
Due to its antioxidant content, Chanca piedra may improve liver function and improve the liver's protection from cellular damage caused by free radicals. The herb also aids in the treatment of hepatitis B, an inflammatory viral infection of the liver. Some other herbs in the Phyllanthus genus also exhibit strong antiviral activity against hepatitis B.
Chanca Piedra can help relax blood vessels and thus lower arterial blood pressure.
