It Is Said That Parsley Leaves (Kinchay) Helps Cure Kidney Stone Problem

Parsley

Parsley in culinary is commonly used to garnish food.

There are some helpful information about parsIey which I got from wikipedia:

Medicinal Use

• Cherokees used it as a tonic to strengthen the bladder.
• Parsley also appears to increase diuresis by inhibiting the Na+/K+-ATPase pump in the kidney, thereby enhancing sodium and water excretion while increasing potassium re absorption. It is also valued as an aquaretic.
• The essential oil apiole found in all parts of parsley are a proven kidney stimulant.

Health Risk

• Parsley should not be consumed as a drug or supplement by pregnant women.

        My father was diagnosed with stones in both of his kidneys. He used to drink cranberry juice and after few months I discovered that cranberry juice contains substances which may crystalize and can form kidney stones.

        He had another ultrasound and it was indicated in the result that the stones had grown bigger and his legs had always felt bad as a side effect of his condition. As known by my brother, he then gave an advice to father. Brother said that in order to treat the kidney stone problem or help minimize it, father should drink the extract from boiled parsley leaves.

        Everyday, my mother would wash parsley leaves and bring them to a boil. My father would drink the liquid three times a day. After few days of drinking the herbal liquid, he told us that he felt better; his legs are still in pain but not as often as they used to be. He also can walk better than before.

        Now, aside from parsley leaves, my mother also prepares boiled leaves and root of eight different herbal plants. She make my father drink the liquid from boiled herbs.
