Nephrolithiasis, also known as horsetail, is a traditional Chinese medicine, mainly distributed in Yunnan Province of China, with the effect of clearing heat and relieving dampness, relieving cough and detoxification. It is mostly used clinically for the treatment of acute nephritis, chronic nephritis, pyelonephritis, cystitis, bronchitis, dysentery and knife and gunshot wounds. However, single herbs used for clinical treatment may have a slower effect and a longer course of illness. If patients really need to treat these symptoms or conditions, it is recommended to go to a specialist hospital for evidence-based treatment and then add Chinese medicine compound treatment under the guidance of a doctor, as Chinese medicine compound treatment with multiple effects may have better results.
