'Pinoy MD' talked about the healthiest and effective alternative to cure kidney stones.
Kidney stones are the salt deposits that build up in the kidneys and can cause blockage in the urinary bladder.
When this happens, the patient feels a painful sensation when urinating or peeing.
The two main causes of kidney stones are excessive intake of salty food and inadequate drinking of water.
“Usually kapag nagkakaroon ng bato, meron tayong tinatawag na crystallization. Ito ay ang pagdikit-dikit ng mga components ng bato na pwedeng lumaki at pwedeng makasira ng urinary tract system and it will predispose the patient to urinary tract infection,” said Dr. Edwin Vizmonte, a urologist.
“Kapag napabayaan ng pasyente na sobrang lumaki ang bato, pwede itong makasira ng kidney at numipis at pwedeng tanggalin ang kidney,” he added.
Deviate from the costly medications and other modern medical procedures, try sambong!
According to the Philippines Institute of Traditional and Alternative Health Care (PITAHC), sambong is a tried and tested natural remedy for kidney stones. Due to its diuretic nature and anti-uricemic properties, it can help regularize urination and prevent the formation of salt deposits in the kidneys.
