Has anyone tried Hydrangea?

[ThisIsMe]

I just found out that it can be used to help kidney stones AND IC!!!

"A wild relative of the common garden shrub the showy
Hydrangea. The root of this plant is indicated for urethritis or
cystitis with pain, pain associated with low grade nephritis and to
ease the pain and expulsion of urinary calculi (gravel). It can
also be useful for renal colic, bladder spasms, benign prostatic
hyperplasia, and interstitial cystitis."

Now I'm really curious about it and wondering if anyone here has tried it with any luck.

I'm currently taking aloe and marshmallow root and get POSSIBLY a tiny bit of help with them. It's really hard to say for sure...
I'm desperate for something natural (and not super expensive) that will help me get my life back as I know all of you are too!

Thanks so much!!! :)

I just did a very brief search and found that there can be many side effects from taking this; even the people selling the substance will advise talking with your doctor before trying it.

Just remember that the words "natural" and "safe" are not the same --- and herbal remedies are also medications.

Donna, thanks for the info! I was not aware of that.
Can you please enlighten me as to what these effects are or point me in the direction so I can read it for myself?
Thank you! :)
