STONE RELIEF Chanca Piedra Herbal Kidney Support – Daytime Formula for Urinary Flow, Hydration & Routine Use | 180 Capsules

I had a kidney stone in my left ureter for 2 or 3 weeks...It was slowly moving down according to CT & Xray, but there was terrible pain most of the time that, for the most part, even prescription pain medication wouldn't touch. The Dr. was pushing for laser surgery(with a stent as well) so I decided to try this product. I think it was the 2nd day of taking it and the pain noticeably lessened & never returned to high levels, until on, I think, the 4th day I finally passed the stone(5-7mm in size), plus a few smaller "grains" of stone.....Could be coincidence, but I think this product actually helped to break down/move the stone down all the way so it could be passed. If I ever get another kidney stone attack again I will start taking this immediately! The included strainer really helps if you are wanting to be sure your stone passes & if you need to catch it to have it analyzed. CON: Be careful to check which formula that you actually get inside the box...I was part way into the 1st bottle before I realized that instead of the AM(daytime) formula that seems to be stronger & have 180 pills, I actually received a box with an outside Amazon label indicating AM formula, that contained a bottle of PM(night) formula. PM formula appears to be 'weaker' in amount of the ingredients & only has 90 pills. I had definitely ordered the AM formula. This happened twice so I asked the Amazon rep. to make sure the seller knows about this...I'm sure it was a box labelling mistake or something. It just doesn't hurt to check when you receive it.

After six days, I passed tiny black grains of sand which is unprecedented. It does help increase urine output somewhat and helps reduce pedal & ankle - foot & ankle swelling. It is rather pricey but the results are worth it. The included urine strainer for catching nephroliths - kidney stones is clinically useful. Going to subscribe to this.

I bought these for my 14 year old daughter. This is her 2nd stone, the previous was 4mm and caused a blockage & infection and had to be removed by URS surgery. This new stone caused a lot of blood in her urine for about 3 days and she was in quite a bit of pain. One evening the pain got so bad I had to take her to the ER. The stone showed it had traveled down the entire ureter in 4 days, so it’s almost to the bladder….but the pain was unbearable for her, and it’s awful to see your child in that much pain and not be able to help. Gave her one pill on Sunday morning and she didn’t need any pain relievers. It’s now Thursday and I’ve given her 3 pills a day Monday-Thursday and she has had zero pain at all. She says she feels normal and I can tell she’s feeling a lot better because she’s acting goofy again & singing and dancing around the house. We haven’t seen any stones yet, but there were tiny brown specks in her urine the first day. I’ll update this review when the stone passes or an X-ray shows it dissolved.

This works really well for back pain from kidney stones. Provides me with relief from pain within a few doses.

Really helpful for me and made passing the stone much easier.

Original formula was much better in my opinion.

After an intense bout of pain one evening in my back I went to the ER where I was diagnosed with two kidney stones. One in each kidney: the left one had a 10 mm Stone and the other had a 9 mm Stone. I was only feeling pain in my left flank because that particular Stone was blocking the passage. I was prescribed painkillers and told to follow up with a urologist. I was booked for a urethoscopy for 2 weeks later. On a whim I started trying these as well. I really have no idea if these are working or not. It certainly did reduce the amount of pain that I was feeling to the point where I no longer needed to rely on the painkillers. In that short amount of time, it wasn't enough to eliminate the stone that I had. It was still there when the doctor went to do the urethoscopy. When I had the stent removed I began to start feeling pressure on my right side as well. I have a feeling that stone is on the move. I started taking these again and the pain went away. I'm not a medical scientist and I don't have a medical science background. I don't know if taking these pills and the pain going away is unrelated, a placebo effect, or if they're actually doing something to reduce the inflammation. I guess I'll find out if these pills are really doing anything in a few weeks when I go follow up with my urologist and we start to form the attack plan for the other Stone. If I find out these were actually doing something I'll update my review and give it more stars.

Before they changed the bottle and design, this used to be the only thing that got rid of my kidney stones. Maybe it's a coincidence but now, it not helping anything at all.
