Alternative medicine
There's no evidence that herbal remedies can break up bladder stones. These stones are extremely hard and usually require a laser, ultrasound or other procedure for removal. Always check with your doctor before taking any alternative medicine therapy to be sure it's safe and that it won't cause any problems with other medications you're taking.
