Some do. Perhaps an alternative would be better. Why do you use stevia? I'm not a fan due to the flavor. If I want sweet, I want dark sweet like molasses and honey.
Oops, I forgot to mention that while there are a ton of herbs that help, the combo of parsley with mallow and either skullcap or viburnum is probably the best I know of.
And that should have said “treat,” not “tree at.” Typing on my phone. What other herbs have been used for kidney stones? I didn’t realize parsley was on the list, but I think celery is.
All of your writings intrigue me to know end as I share in so many of your interests. I was curious, have you written anything on Stevia?
Thanks! I have not yet written on stevia... I will.
I’m interested because I tend to get adverse reactions whenever I use stevia. Thank you!

I was just working at monitoring my blood sugar and trying stevia & monk fruit sweetener. Not that I enjoyed either one of them.
Molasses seems to have less impact on blood sugar - have you looked into that?
I do like molasses. Just never think to use it often I suppose.
That’s interesting that hydrangea has been used to tree at kidney stones.

Thank you so much!
It is effective, but perhaps a bit more extreme that parsley and other more subtle herbs.

I'll get a list together for you. Parsley is among the best. THere are several.
