FORMULATION DEVELOPMENT OF FUNCTIONAL TISANE’S

Nephrolithiasis, or kidney stone disease, is a growing global health concern with significant implications for patient well-being. Conventional treatments often focus on symptomatic relief, but high recurrence rates and side effects of pharmacological interventions highlight the need for alternative approaches. Functional tisanes, formulated from natural herbal ingredients, have emerged as a promising solution by utilizing the therapeutic properties of Macrotyloma uniflorum, Tephrosia purpurea, Punica granatum, Rubus idaeus, Stigma maydis, Phyllanthus niruri, and halite.These herbal components exhibit anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, diuretic, and litholytic effects, aiding in the dissolution of kidney stones, preventing their recurrence, and supporting renal function by reducing oxidative stress. Their incorporation into dietary regimens represents a holistic and patient-centered approach to kidney stone management. With a natural origin and minimal side effects, functional tisanes offer a safe, sustainable, and effective alternative to conventional therapies.
