Quebra Pedra - more than a weed

Rio Health

QUEBRA PEDRA is a herb that grows throughout Brazil. It is a small erect annual herb growing to 30 cm in height and known to botanists as Phyllanthus niruri, Euphorbiaceae. Many documentary sources class it as a weed. However, the benefits from a decoction of the leaves are startling, and warrant a more serious classification. The herb is known world wide as a treatment for kidney and gall stones.

PROPERTIES

Renal calculi are often the result of an upset in the acid/alkali balance, and can remain unnoticed for a number of months or even years. Orthodox treatments include ultrasound and surgery, but for many people the use of a natural herb is preferred and Quebra Pedra has a well-documented history of efficacy throughout North and South America, in India and in the Far East. It is anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-spasmodic. It relaxes smooth muscle and purifies the urinary tract of mucus. It can also be used with benefit in the treatment of cystitis.

FORMULATION

For Quebra Pedra tea the whole plant is dried and shredded. It is completely natural and free from colourings, preservatives, flavourings or additives of any kind. Quebra Pedra is available from Goodness Direct in unbleached teabags.

DIRECTIONS

Quebra Pedra is frequently used as an adjunct to other therapies that seek to dissolve and encourage the removal of kidney and gall stones. Quebra Pedra tea should be brewed for at least five minutes. We recommend a course of three capsules or three infusions of Quebra Pedra per day for a minimum of six weeks. Following the passage of the last remains of any stone-like deposit, it is a wise precaution to continue to use Quebra Pedra at a maintenance level of one capsule or one cup of tea a day in order to prevent recurrence. Recent clinical research has confirmed this benefit.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

None known at normal levels of use.

Caution: Kidney and gall-stones are evidence of a serious condition which should be brought to the attention of your medical practitioner.
