Ingredients
- Walnut kernels 30g
- Chicken gizzard lining (jineijin) 30g
- Lygodium spore (haijin sha) 15g
Principle
Walnut tonifies kidney and moistens intestines—modern research suggests possible urine acidification; chicken gizzard lining resolves stones and frees stranguria; lygodium spore clears heat-damp and relieves painful urination. Ground together as fine powder to free stranguria and assist stone passage.
Effects & uses
For various urinary tract stones, especially under 1 cm diameter (syndrome differentiation required).
Method
- Grind all three to fine powder; divide into 3 equal portions.
- Each time take one portion, boil in water 3 minutes, add a pinch of salt as guide.

Caution
Larger stones or significant symptoms require medical care. Lygodium and related herbs are cooling—spleen–stomach cold deficiency should not use long term. A daily food-care recipe; not a substitute for medication.
