How to treat urinary stones with herbal medicine

Urinary stones belong to the category of “stone drenching” in Chinese medicine, and its herbal treatment is mainly based on clearing away heat and diuresis, eliminating stones and clearing drenching, and the commonly used clinical formula is Shi Wei San. Shi Wei San is composed of Shi Wei, Dong Quai Zi, Qu Mai, Slippery Stone and Psyllium, which has the effect of clearing away heat and removing dampness, draining stones and clearing gonorrhea, and is suitable for all kinds of stone gonorrhea. For those with blood in the urine, add artichoke and Radix et Rhizoma Shengdi as appropriate; for small abdominal distension and pain, add Mucuna pruriens and Wu Yao; for lumbar and abdominal cramps, add Paeonia lactiflora as appropriate. If the stone is too large, blocking the urinary tract, and the renal pelvis is severely hydronephrosis, surgery is recommended. For patients with urinary stones, if you need to use traditional Chinese medicine treatment, should also be based on their own specific conditions under the guidance of the physician’s diagnosis, not blindly self-medication.
