The problem of kidney stones is increasing due to wrong eating habits and drinking less water. Vaidya Dr. Abhishek Kumar Mishra tells that Patharchatta, which is also called Panphuti or Patharchur, is a beneficial medicinal plant for stones. According to Ayurveda, its juicy leaves help in gradually breaking the kidney stones and removing them through urine. In rural areas, people grow it in their homes because new plants emerge from the edges of its leaves. However, experts advise not to take any Ayurvedic remedy for more than 21 days without consulting a doctor. Also, drinking more water, balanced diet and less salt intake plays an important role in preventing stones.
