In a world that is promoting chemical-based treatments, the organic-based treatments will always remain the root and foundation for healing. The natural remedies that nature provided have, for centuries, proven to be effective and safe for our bodies. That is why Ananta Ayurveda clinic, under the supervision of Anjali, has been helping many people from all walks of life by using natural, ancient remedies. One of the natural remedies is the Patharchatta herb. Patharchatta, scientifically known as Bryophyllum pinnatum, thrives well in tropical and subtropical areas. It is native to Madagascar but also commonly found in India. The word Patharchatta is a Hindi word that means stone breaker. The plant comprises calcium, zinc, protein, fibre, potassium, copper and sodium, just to mention a few. The composition of the herbs is capable of treating kidney stones. 

How does Patharchatta treat kidney stones

  • Suppresses the formation of crystals: the plant consists of components that dissolve the growth of Calcium crystals, which in turn suppresses the growth of the existing stones and hinders the development of new stones. 
  • Enhances diuretic action: It is an organic diuretic that speeds up urine production and flow. The flow of urine helps to flush out the dissolved stone fragments and prevents accumulation; it helps in retaining stone-forming salts in the renal tubules.
  • It is nephroprotective and anti-inflammatory: The extracts of the plants contain antioxidant and anti-inflammatory components, which treat the swelling and inflammation caused by the stones.
  • It dissolves the stones: The plant comprises properties such as saponins, phytochemicals, flavonoids and phenolics. The composition contains lithotriptic properties that dissolve the existing calcium oxalate crystals. 
  • Helps with pain relief and healing: Apart from dissolving the stones, it also helps in pain relief and helps in speedy recovery. Additionally, the plant is known for treating wounds, skin ailments, boosting the immune system and also helping the respiratory system. 

Methods of using Patharchatta for kidney treatment

  • Herbal tea: Boil the leaves in water, strain after boiling and serve in a mug
  • Herbal juice: take the leaves, wash them thoroughly, grind or smash them to extract the juice. Take 1-2 teaspoons once or twice a day on an empty stomach. 
  • Eaten raw: Take two fresh leaves, clean them and chew them raw. The juice extracted works in the urinary system.
