Can a herbal infusion dissolve kidney stones within seconds?
short by / on Saturday, 20 December, 2025
Claims that a herbal infusion can dissolve kidney stones within seconds lack robust clinical evidence. Dr Bhanu clarifies that while phytotherapeutic agents, such as Phyllanthus niruri extracts studied for stone prevention, are under research, none are proven to rapidly dissolve calculi. Evidence remains insufficient to recommend any infusion as an effective, instant litholytic treatment.
