Treatment with grass Paul-pal

Recently, the grass half-fallen has appeared and gained wide recognition in the territory of Russia and the CIS countries, which is used in the treatment of both inflammatory diseases of the kidneys and with urolithiasis. Her homeland is Sri Lanka, but it also grows in the regions of the North Caucasus, Georgia, and Abkhazia.

The history of its discovery is interesting. In the XIX century, a group of shipwrecked sailors found themselves on a rocky uninhabited island in the Indian Ocean. Sailors paid attention to small birds, the size of a sparrow, nesting in the coastal rocks. People were surprised that such a small bird can with its beak hollow out a nest in a monolithic rock. Looking closer, they noticed that it in the beak brings some grass and rubs it with a stone. After 6-8 days the stone begins to crumble - the nest is ready.

Returning to the mainland, people began to study the properties of the half-pala. It turned out that the grass perfectly destroys the kidney stones( phosphates and urates turn into sand and start to leave on the 3-7th day from the beginning of treatment, 30-35 days are required to destroy oxalates).Treatment of inflammatory kidney disease takes 1-2 months. Grass the brew as a tea - 1 tablespoon for 300 ml of boiling water, leave for 1 hour, strain and drink 100 ml three to four times a day for 30 minutes before eating. The squeezes left from the grass, boil 3 minutes in 500 ml of water and use as a bath in the treatment of hemorrhoids.

When treating half-finger, certain precautions must be followed. The fact that it strongly destroys the tooth enamel, so to drink infusion of herbs should through a thin tube and after that it is necessary to rinse the mouth with soda solution.

( The most amazing thing that the author of this book noticed when he treated patients with half-fallen kidney patients is that it destroys and removes not only kidney stones, but also gallstones stones.) True, the decomposition of stones on the sand is accompanied by a high temperature, nausea and severe vomiting. Unpleasant phenomena last 2 days, but if you have a gall bladder stuffed with stones, and two days later the ultrasound shows that it is completely empty, then it's worth it.
