A Time-Honoured Botanical for Urinary Wellness

A Time-Honoured Botanical for Urinary Wellness

Chanca piedra means “stone breaker” in Spanish, a name that reflects the plant’s long-standing place in traditional herbal-medicine practices. Botanically known as Phyllanthus niruri, this tropical herb has been used in Ayurveda for urinary tract support, where it is recognized as a diuretic to help promote urinary flow and relieve mild urinary tract infections. The urinary environment can be influenced by everyday diet and fluid balance. Foods such as spinach, beets, rhubarb, Swiss chard, and almonds are naturally high in oxalates—compounds that, in people prone to calcium-oxalate stones, may bind with calcium and contribute to stone formation. High sodium, large portions of animal protein, and a habit of choosing sugar-sweetened drinks instead of plain water can also affect urinary balance by influencing mineral concentration, citrate levels, or urine dilution. New Roots Herbal Chanca Piedra 500 mg delivers a concentrated 10:1 extract, with each capsule providing the equivalent of 5,000 mg of dried herb. This gives you a potent, once-daily dose of Phyllanthus niruri in a non‑GMO vegetable capsule, without the inconvenience of brewing teas, measuring powders, or taking multiple capsules. Chanca piedra is also traditionally used in Ayurveda to help stimulate the liver, improve digestion, and stimulate appetite, broadening its role beyond urinary tract support into everyday herbal wellness.

Signs Your Urinary Tract May Need Support

When Everyday Habits Add Up

Urinary tract comfort can be influenced by small daily choices that do not seem connected at first. A salty meal, a sweet treat, extra sweating, fewer bathroom breaks, or not drinking enough water can all affect how concentrated urine becomes. Water is still the urinary tract’s best everyday ally. Aiming for lighter-coloured urine throughout the day is a simple way to gauge whether the body has enough fluid and that your kidneys and bladder are doing their job comfortably.

  • Adults with occasional urinary tract discomfort
  • Those seeking traditional support for mild UTIs

Add Lemon or Lime to Your Water

Add Lemon or Lime to Your Water

Lemon and lime naturally contain citrates, which helps keep certain minerals from crystallizing in urine. This simple habit can support a healthy urinary environment as part of your daily wellness routine.

Go Easy on High-Oxalate Foods

Go Easy on High-Oxalate Foods

Foods like spinach, almonds, beets, Swiss chard, and rhubarb are naturally high in oxalates. Try rotating in lower-oxalate choices like kale, cauliflower, pumpkin seeds, or cabbage.

Keep Sodium in Check

Keep Sodium in Check

A higher-sodium diet can influence how much calcium is released into the urine. For people prone to calcium-based kidney stones, that extra urinary calcium may increase the chance of minerals coming together and forming crystals. Choosing fewer processed foods, deli meats, salty snacks, and restaurant meals is a simple way to support everyday urinary tract health.

Frequently Asked Questions

The name translates to “stone breaker” in Spanish, reflecting its extensive traditional use in supporting urinary tract wellness and helping alleviate what is known today as “passing kidney stones.” The herb was widely available in the Amazon and Peru, and it is traditionally used across other South American countries by brewing the plants leaves, stems, and roots into a strong tea or decoction.

Chanca piedra is believed to reduce stone-forming waste in your urine and raise pH levels to stop acidic stones from forming in the first place. It seems to stop kidney stones from increasing in size by blocking mineral crystals from sticking together and growing larger. Lastly, the herb may help increase urine flow, helping your body to flush out stone fragments more easily.

Yes; centuries of traditional use sparked modern clinical interest. Some recent research suggests it may help improve certain urinary conditions linked to stone formation. A 2018 study showed a reduction in stone size, especially for stones under 10 mm in size, and a 2024 study reported their combination group (taking chanca piedra plus Ononis spinosa along with tamsulosin), had a higher stone expulsion rate: 84.8% v. 52.5%, shorter expulsion time, and less analgesic use, compared to the group taking tamsulosin alone. More studies are needed to confirm effects of chanca piedra on its own.

Healthy fluid intake helps support normal urine flow and keeps the urinary environment less concentrated. Aim to drink at least 2.5 to 3 litres (about 10 to 12 cups) of water daily. The herb has shown mild diuretic effects, so your body may lose fluids faster than usual, making proper hydration essential to prevent dehydration and to flush out potential particles.

Consult a health-care practitioner if symptoms are severe; persistent; recurrent; or accompanied by fever, blood in the urine, back or side pain, or burning urination.
