Chanca Piedra Tea 100 g

Chanca Piedra tea

Chanca Piedra (Phyllanthus niruri) is a tropical plant native to the Amazon and other parts of South America, India and South-East Asia. The name literally means ‘stone breaker’ – it derives from a Spanish term referring to its traditional use in breaking up various stones within the body. Chanca Piedra comes from forest gardens (Chakra) in the Amazon rainforest in Ecuador, where it is traditionally cultivated by the indigenous Kichwa people.
