Kidney stones do not require licorice infusion for drinking because most kidney stones are calcium oxalate stones, which can also be accompanied by metabolic stones or infected stones. Licorice in water cannot dissolve stones and is not therapeutic for kidney stones, so it is not necessary to drink it. When suffering from kidney stones, patients are advised to drink more water, urinate more, and assist with drugs or extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, take oral sodium potassium hydrogen citrate granules, take more lemon water to increase the patient’s urine volume, and increase the citric acid or citric acid in the body to inhibit stone formation, but licorice infused water does not lead to an increase in the content of citric acid and citric acid in the body, so it cannot play a role in inhibiting stone formation. For uric acid stones, you can take allopurinol tablets or benzbromarone tablets for uric acid lowering treatment, and the stones may dissolve after the uric acid level is lowered. Therefore, patients suffering from kidney stones only need to drink more water and go to the hospital for treatment with medication or extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, and do not need to take licorice infused water.
