I advocate sweating, lymphatic drainge, massage, colon cleanse, liver cleanse, etc.  There are so many methods that should be employed to keep us healthy.  While these things are beneficial  if you are sick, it is so much more helpful to your body if you do them while you are healthy.  This will also assist in keeping your immune system in tip-top shape.

There is a product called Royal Breakstone that I have used for many years both personally and with my patients that is very effective for cleansing the liver, kidney and bladder.  It is a highly effective option for those of you who don’t want to or can’t do an actual liver flush.

Alcohol-free Chanca Piedra liquid extract, contains vegetable glycerin.  Each milliliter (ml) contains 1 gram of the extract of dried leaf.

Traditionally uses now supported by scientific research:

Promote healthy liver function
Promote a healthy gall bladder
Support good digestion of fats
Promotes healthy digestion
Promote healthy kidney function

Chanca Piedra are spanish words, “chanca” meaning “to break” in and “piedra” meaning “stone”.  It is the name given to several different varities of small shrub-like plants in the Phyllanthus genus family.

These species of botanicals have been proven in scientific research to have antihepatotoxic, antispasmodic, antiviral, bactericidal, febrifugal, and hypoglycemic activity.

Some Traditional Uses

Chanca Piedra got its name because according the herbal tradition of Peru, where knowledge of rainforest remedies spread to the Incas, it was used to break up and expel kidney stones as well as gall stones.

It has been used to assist with the stimulation of bile and to promote healthy functioning of the liver and gall bladder.

It has also been used traditionally to help clear obstructions within the internal organs of the body by promoting the elimination of mucous as well as the elimination of the stones.

In areas throughout South America, Chanca Piedra is used to treat a wide aray of medical issues…such as, edema and excess uric acid, flu, colds and constipation, prostate issues, increase menstrual flow, ulcers, expell worms from body, irritable bowel and poor circulation. Just to name a few :-)

This is a great product that I routinely put folks on because it is so effective at what it does, especially in conjunction with an entire wellness protocol.  If you have any questions about this product or its uses please don’t hesitate to AskDrSkip.
