Natural Cures for Kidney Stones, Cancer Care Crataeva nurvala is a medicinal herb rich in the chemical Lupeol, the subject of recent promising research. Lupeol benefits urinary health, shrinking kidney stones. Crataeva nurvala, known in Indian medicine as Varuna, is a small tree which grows wild along river banks throughout the Indian subcontinent, where it is also widely cultivated. The stem and root bark of this plant are the parts most often used medicinally. Crataeva has been used for centuries in eastern herbal traditions to treat a variety of health disorders. It is especially valued for its therapeutic effect on the urinary organs. Crataeva’s active ingredient is believed to be Lupeol, a powerful alkaloid that has received much attention in recent years for its potential in fighting cancer. Lupeol is also widely used to treat urinary disorders, including kidney stones. Laboratory research has verified Lupeol’s capacity to prevent the formation of kidney stones, apparently by lowering excess concentrations of oxalate, phosphorus and magnesium in renal tissue. An herbal preparation combining Crataeva with three other herbs is used traditionally in India to treat inflammation of the liver, which often leads to impaired urinary function. Read more |

Crataeva (Crataeva nurvala) History In Ayurveda, the bark of the Crataeva has been traditionally used to heal kidney stones for more than 3,000 years. Findings of several studies undertaken by contemporary scientists have authenticated that the herb neutralizes the enzyme called glycolate oxidase and this particular effect of the herb lessens the production of oxalates by the body. It may be mentioned here that the oxalates combine with calcium to develop into kidney stones. Another chemical enclosed by Crataeva, lupeol, helps to lower the intensity of several laboratory indicators of kidney damage. Presently, herbal medicine practitioners primarily use Crataeva to treat kidney and prostate problems. The bark of the tree is particularly used to treat infections of the urinary tract, kidney stones as well as benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). Researches undertaken by scientists have demonstrated that this particular herb’s actions support the cardiovascular system by properly maintaining the suppleness as well as openness of the arteries. In addition, it is believed that Crataeva has beneficial uses either as an effective diuretic or a herb that slows down or hinders the formation of stones inside the organs. Both the barks as well as the leaves of the tree are extensively utilized for preparing herbal medications. Moreover, Crataeva possesses diuretic, anti-inflammatory, demulcent (soothing or mollifying), lithontriptic (stone dissolving or destroying in the organs) and tonic (stimulant) properties. The bark of this tree generates ceryl alcohol, lupeol, friedelin, diosgenin and betulinic acid. Properties Antilithic, bladder tonic, arti-inflammatory Synopsis
Serving:
Traditional Usage Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH): Crataeva has been extensively used to alleviate problems in urination owing to swelling of the prostate. This action of the herb is usually attributed to the chemical lupeol enclosed by the tree. In effect, lupeol is said to neutralize the enzymes responsible for manufacturing leukotrienes that bring on inflammation. Kidney Stones: The herb is also effective for treating conditions of the urinary organs, infections of the urinary tract, pain and burning micturition (urination), renal and vesical calculi (bladder stones). Crataeva is available in several varieties and may also be used as an ingredient in other remedial products. However, if you desire to use Crataeva to treat any of the conditions mentioned above, it is advisable to talk to your healthcare provider regarding the treatment of your precise health problems.
