Lately, I meet my doctor to consult my problem like: I felt the pain in the my back which sometimes being felt in my belly or my right side. And when I am urinating, I felt the burning like pain and I am always in the run to the CR to urinate but then only drops of urine came out of me of which its color resemble that of a mixture of water and blood with a little of mucus and it smells bad. I ignore these observations hoping that by simply drinking a lot of water, everything will fine again. But after a week of my suffering, I started to chill and my fever shoot high. By this time, I told my self that only the doctor could help me resolve my health problem.
My doctor, had recommended to undergo Ultrasound test of my kidneys. And he's right of what he has suspected. The ultrasound test result showed stones in my Kidney.
My doctor, advised me to take antibiotics and other medicine for my kidney's health and stones. But I just couldn't afford them all because my budget is limited. So, only took the antibiotics and the rest is best on the Eastern medicine using herbs for natural healing solution.
I do a little research in my grandfather's booklet of herbal solutions, and I found two plants listed as effective solution to my kidney stone problem. These plants are all Philippine indigenous plants and are well known to the Filipino as natural remedy for kidney problems. These plants are: Blumea Balsamifera, and the Imerata Cylindrica.
Blumea Balsamifera is known here in the Philippines as Sambong. You can visit my blogpost about
Sambong here for more information about this plant. What I did is make a decoction by boiling 15 adult leaves of Sambong and 1 liter of water for about 5 minutes. Then I took a glass of decoction 3 times a day for 1 week.

The Imperata Cylindrica is considered here in the Philippines as grass that should be cut-off and burned for this grass spread fast that caused damage to other crops. Here in the Philippines, this grass is called Cogon Grass. This the grass mentioned in a very well-known saying, "ningas cogon." What I used in making a decoction of Imperata Cylindrica is its root. I took a grasp of it, maybe it is about 1/4 kilo of dried cogon roots, and boiled it with 1 liter of water for about 5 minutes. The resulting 1 liter decoction should be taken 24 hours.

After seven days of drinking decoction made out of these two plants, those mentioned symptoms were gone and I felt better now. And the most exciting event that happened after the seven days of drinking decoction is the flashing out of the Kidney stones. For the record, I took a photo of them as shown below.

| Flashed Out Kidney Stones |
Actually, in the ultrasound result, there was only one Kidney stone found. But I found 7 Kidney stones flash out of my body into my urinal pot (arinola in Tagalog). So, I guess, the one big Kidney stone were broken down into 7 tiny ones. That was when they were being flashed out along with the urine.
So, if you too are suffering from Kidney stones or any urinary problem like UTI, maybe the decoction made from Sambong and Cogon Grass Root can help you too.
After that, I went immediately to my doctor and showed him the Kidney stones that were flashed out into the urinal pot. He told me to have the second ultrasound test just to see if the stone in my kidney was gone but I refused because the money that I had at that time was enough to pay for the doctor's services.
The doctor understood what I was trying to tell him, and he just advised me to drink a lot of water, to avoid excess salt and to urinate as needed.
Anyway, thank you very much for reading this post. I hope that I shared on this post can help you too with your kidney problem. You can share to us here your experience if you have regarding the use of Sambong and Cogon Grass Root decoction by dropping your comments at the comment section.
