Chanca Piedra (Phyllanthus niruri) is a small plant that the indigenous people of the Amazon call “stone breaker”. It bears this name because it has been used since ancient times for urological problems. The natural home of Chanca Piedra is the region of Central America, India and Southeast Asia. Its significant influence is also known in Ayurvedic medicine.
