Re: chanca piedra

It wasn't until I was told that Chanca Piedra is effective against "retroviruses", did I also find out what other benefits it has too.

Its main uses are for many
types of biliary and urinary conditions including kidney and gallbladder stones; for hepatitis, cold, flu,
tuberculosis, and other viral infections; liver diseases and disorders including anemia, jaundice and liver
cancer; and for bacterial infections such as cystitis, prostatitis, venereal diseases and urinary tract
infections. It is also widely employed for diabetes and hypertension as well as for its diuretic, analgesic,
stomachic, antispasmodic, febrifugal, and cell protective properties in many other conditions. It is little
wonder that chanca piedra is used for so many purposes in herbal medicine systems

I have been reading alot about different Traditional Chinese Herbs, and several different types of Phyllanthus are used for liver conditions (such as viral hepatitis).
