Commonly found in Brazilian gardens growing as a weed, it is in fact one of the most useful of the herbs found in South America. Quebra Pedra has been used for centuries by the indigenous peoples of the Amazon to support the healthy functioning of the kidneys and the gall bladder, and to support the health of the urinary tract.
