Title: Madder Root (Rubia tinctorum) 50g – For Kidney & Urinary Tract Support
Description: Madder root (Rubia tinctorum) has a long history of use in traditional medicine for supporting urinary tract health. Its primary action is the gradual breakdown and disintegration of kidney, bladder, and gall bladder stones, specifically oxalate, phosphate, and urate stones, as well as calcium and magnesium salts. Unlike some other treatments, madder root gently works to dissolve these stones without significantly impacting blood pressure or respiration. It enhances cardiac contractions without affecting heart rhythm. Furthermore, it relaxes the smooth muscles of the renal pelvis and ureters while simultaneously promoting peristalsis, facilitating the painless passage of stones. Madder root also exhibits diuretic, bactericidal, and anti-inflammatory properties, beneficial for conditions such as pyelonephritis, nephritis, and cystitis. It’s traditionally used to help eliminate salts from joints, offering potential support for gout, osteoarthritis, and polyarthritis. Its diuretic effects and bactericidal action against cocci are also noteworthy. Please note that madder root may cause a pink-red discoloration of urine. The root contains organic acids (malic, tartaric, citric), oxymethylanthraquinones and their derivatives (5-6%), triterpenoids, iridoids, sugars, proteins, ascorbic acid, pectin, and polyphenolic compounds.
