I know for a fact that Phyllanthus Niruri helped with long-term Lyme issues and major kidney stones. I started taking this tea a few years ago and teamed it up with Cistus incanus, Rosa rugosa. These three teas were go-to teas every day for the last few years. These stones were a major issue in 1920 to 22 and under having large stones blasted as they were too large to pass, resulting in having these stints placed in each kidney three different times. Last year ‘22 the Urologist kept a. Six-month close watch on me. This February I had a rather excited Urologist call me in for a visit. I was concerned why, but turned out the stones that were there last year a 6mm in my left didn't and a 4mm in my right. The left kidney stone had shrunk to a 4mm size and the right one was gone altogether. He said that there may still be tiny stones in my kidneys but they’d be too small for the MrRI or the Ultrasound to be detected, but he was so happy with the results and wanted to congratulate me. I told him about the teas I was taking, to which he said to keep up whatever I was doing. I too felt the benefit of the tea helping with the pain of stiff joints/arthritis. Thanks so much for these teas, Linden Botanicals! These tea's benefits outweigh the cost to ship them to Canada. I am very grateful to them. The Lyme disease well it appears to be gone. I had focused on the kidney issue so much that I just realized it is no longer an issue. Once I heard of other applications for using the teas, I now put small amounts of the teas in my coffee, teas and smoothies. Yippee! Blessings Sheilagh from Ontario Canada
