Kidney stones belong to the category of Chinese medicine, such as hemorrhagic (blood in the urine with pain), lithotripsy (discharge of gravel during urination, or sudden interruption of urination, pain in the urethra, and intolerable pain in the lower back and abdomen), and lumbago, etc. Eating Qian Cao for kidney stones has a certain effect, but the effectiveness of a single herb is limited, and it needs to be used clinically with other Chinese medicines after identification by a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.
Qian Cao has the effect of inducing diuresis (removing dampness and jaundice), diuretic and diaphoretic (improving the problem of dribbling of urine and small amount of urine), and detoxifying and eliminating swelling. It is used for treating jaundice, edema, dysuria, lithiasis, gonorrhea, carbuncles and swellings (symptoms of localized swelling caused by congestion of qi and blood trapped by evil and poisonous elements), and so on.
Note that moneywort is contraindicated in pregnant women.
Prompt medical treatment is recommended in case of kidney stones. If you need to use moneywort, it must be used under the guidance of a professional doctor.
