Meet chanca piedra

Chanca piedra is a common name for the herb named on this listing, Phyllanthus niruri. “Stone breaker” is a traditional nickname for that plant. It is not a promise that this tincture dissolves, shrinks, passes or prevents kidney stones.

The written listing describes a liquid extract of Phyllanthus niruri in ethanol and purified water. These names are one botanical, not three separate ingredients. Chanca piedra is the common name, stone breaker is the nickname, and Phyllanthus niruri is the scientific name stated for this product.

The pictures on this page are not a photograph of the approved label. An older generated image, and the current gallery, show a different multi-herb label. That label is not the written specification. The written listing does not name hydrangea, burdock or celery, and it does not state a bottle volume or an extract ratio.

Ethanol and water

Alcohol is in the extraction base. Dilution does not remove it.

Read the bottle

The physical label is the specification for the bottle you receive.

A nickname, not a treatment

The name does not describe a clinical effect.

Written listing

Phyllanthus niruri

Ethanol and purified water

This is the formula in the current product text. It has not been confirmed from a photograph of an approved label. Check the bottle you receive, and contact us if it differs.

What the listing names

Chanca piedra extract (Phyllanthus niruri) is the botanical named for this tincture. Ethanol is alcohol in the extraction base. Purified water is the other part of that base. No plant part, alcohol percentage, extract ratio or net volume is published here, because those figures are not in the verified listing.

Other herbal products may use the common name chanca piedra for a different species or a blend. Check the full species and the ingredient list on each product. This page does not describe a capsule, a tea, or a multi-herb formula.

Our Chanca Piedra botanical guide explains the names and the difference between a tincture, a tea and a capsule. It is background on the plant, not a claim about this bottle.

How to use

Shake the bottle if the label says so, and follow the directions printed on the bottle you receive. This page does not give a drop count, a daily amount or a duration. Droppers vary, and a dropperful is not a fixed measure unless the label says it is.

A tincture is a prepared liquid extract. It is not the same as a tea made by steeping the plant in water, and it is not the same as a capsule of dried herb. Servings cannot be converted from one format to another without formulation data.

Mixing a serving into water or juice, where the label allows it, dilutes the drink. It does not remove the ethanol. Our guide to alcohol in herbal tinctures explains that difference.

Before use

Important information

This tincture contains alcohol. Seek advice before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medicines, or have kidney, gallbladder or urinary symptoms. This product is not a substitute for assessment of a suspected kidney stone or any other medical concern.

Severe pain, fever, vomiting or difficulty passing urine needs prompt medical attention. Do not wait for a herbal product to work in that situation.

Storage

Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and out of the reach of children. Keep the label for the batch and best-before details. Avoid touching the dropper to your mouth or other surfaces.

If the bottle you receive lists different ingredients, follow that label and contact Crystal Health & Beauty before considering use.
