Introduction
For centuries, traditional medicine systems from South America to India have turned to one potent herb to detoxify the liver, break down kidney stones, and clear mental fog. Known scientifically as Phyllanthus niruri, and more commonly as Stonebreaker, this humble plant has earned legendary status for its healing properties. Modern herbalists are now rediscovering its remarkable ability to support liver function, boost digestion, and promote cognitive sharpness — all in one soothing cup of tea.
Ingredients:
To brew a powerful detoxifying Stonebreaker tea, you’ll need:
1 tablespoon dried Stonebreaker (Phyllanthus niruri) leaves
2 cups filtered water
Optional: 1 teaspoon raw honey (for sweetness)
Optional: a few slices of fresh ginger (for added anti-inflammatory benefits)
Instructions:
Boil the Water:
Bring 2 cups of filtered water to a gentle boil in a saucepan.
Add the Herb:
Add the dried Stonebreaker leaves to the water.
Simmer:
Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for 10–15 minutes, allowing the beneficial compounds to infuse.
Strain and Serve:
Strain the tea into a mug. Add honey or ginger if desired.
Enjoy Warm or Cool:
Sip slowly, breathing in the earthy aroma to help soothe both body and mind.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Daily Detox: For liver support, drink 1 cup in the morning on an empty stomach.
Mental Focus: A second cup mid-afternoon can help reduce brain fog and improve clarity.
Storage: You can brew in larger batches and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Just reheat gently before drinking.
