Phyllanthus niruri, commonly known as stonebreaker or chanca piedra, is a small flowering plant belonging to the family Euphorbiaceae. It is native to tropical regions, particularly in South America and Southeast Asia. The plant is characterized by its slender stems, small green leaves, and tiny yellow flowers. Traditionally, Phyllanthus niruri has been used in herbal medicine for its potential health benefits, particularly in supporting kidney and liver function. It is often consumed as a tea or in supplement form. Research suggests it may help in breaking down kidney stones and promoting overall urinary health.
