Chanca Piedra Benefits - Phyllanthus niruri - Linden Botanicals

Chanca Piedra benefits include renal system, immune system, digestive system, lymphatic system, liver, and pancreatic system support.

Chanca Piedra, also known as Phyllanthus niruri, is native to the Amazon region of Peru. It’s a nootropic, an adaptogen, and an antioxidant. With 100+ identified bioactive compounds, it’s possible that no other plant in the world offers as many health benefits.

Studies show it has powerful antibacterial, antiviral, and biofilm-breaking qualities, and it may offer significant immune support and relief of cold and flu symptoms, as well as help the immune and lymphatic systems combat viruses and bacteria.

Below, I’ll cover some additional benefits of Chanca Piedra tea.

Chanca Piedra Benefits

 

Kidney Stone and Gallstone Support

Of all the Chanca Piedra benefits, kidney stone support is probably the best known. Chanca Piedra tea is often called “stone breaker” for its potential to provide kidney stone support. The herb contains alkalizing properties that can prevent kidney stones and gall stones from occurring in the first place. This alkaline nature helps to neutralize the acid from the kidney. Once this process occurs, the hard deposits of acidic salts that concentrate in urine are broken down.

In a 2018 scientific study, 56 people suffering from kidney stones were given a dosage of 4.5 grams of Chanca Piedra daily. After 12 weeks, two-thirds of the participants were no longer suffering from kidney stones. In addition, kidney stone size and number decreased for all of the participants.

Chronic Illness Support

Of all the Chanca Piedra benefits, one of the most valuable is the tea’s ability to provide chronic illness support. Linden Botanicals owner Michael Van der Linden suffered from Lyme disease for almost four years. At the end of his third year of battling Lyme disease, he got a kidney stone. He had learned about an herbal tea from Peru called Chanca Piedra, and he began drinking the tea.

Ultimately, the tea ended up providing support for his kidney tone and for his battle with Lyme disease due to its ability to inhibit Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). You can read more about how the tea helped Michael rid his body of Lyme Disease here.

High Blood Sugar Support

Chanca Piedra benefits include support for high blood sugar. The herb contains antioxidants that may improve fasting in blood sugar levels.

Liver Disease and Stomach Ulcer Support

The antioxidant properties of Chanca Piedra may improve the functions of the liver. It can protect the liver from cellular damage caused by free radicals. In test-tube studies, Chanca Piedra provided substantial support for stomach ulcers by killing the bacterium Helicobacter pylori. Animal studies also show that the herb may provide support for people suffering from Hepatitis B.
