Abstract
Kidney stones, also known as urolithiasis,
primarily due to calcium oxalate crystals, is a prevalent renal disorder that
poses numerous health concerns. The existing methods, citrate treatment,
lithotripsy, and others, although being efficacious, expose the patient to
hazards of diseases, along with side effects. The high cost factor is another
well-known aspect of present treatment. Thus, over time, people have shown keen
interest in natural remedies, among which Blumea balsamifera, or soot flower,
is one. This is used medically to treat kidney stones. The research proves that
Blumea balsamifera extracts aid in inhibiting the formation, slowing growth,
and preventing the agglutination of crystal clumps formed by calcium oxalate,
which act as kidney stones. The extracts also possess the ability to convert
calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) to calcium oxalate dihydrate (COD), which is
less stable compared to the previous form. This makes Blumea balsamifera
extracts efficient, natural, and potent sources for the treatment of
Anti-urolithiasis.
