It was my youngest son’s birthday on 5th May 2021, so while my family HV members and I were busy celebrating, a call came through, and I received one of the saddest news of my life. It turned out that one of my sisters, who was also a very close friend and confidante was on dialysis, fighting for dear life somewhere in a Lagos hospital. She later lost the battle.
In this year alone, I have heard about two kidney-related deaths and as I write, one of my cousins is on dialysis and over N12 million is needed for a transplant in India. It is a well-known fact that kidney transplant surgery is a 50 – 50 chance of survival. So, with kidney diseases, prevention is the only cure.
With inspiration arising from the loss of my sister, I have launched full-scale research into finding natural herbs that can prevent or cure kidney diseases for the sake of those of us that are alive and can prevent them.
One of the very potent herbs used to melt kidney stones and to cure other thousand diseases is called LIFE PLANT. Its botanical nomenclature is Bryophyllum pinnatum. It is also known as Miracle Leaf, Air Plant, Cathedral Bells, and Goethe Plant.
Life Plant is a perennial herb that grows in the wild and used as a traditional medicinal plant in tropical Africa, China, Australia, tropical America and Indian system of medicine- Ayurveda. The leaves of this plant have been reported to possess antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-ulcer, anti-inflammatory and analgesic, antihypertensive, antidiabetic, and antimutagenic activities.
It grows well in tropical, subtropical, and warm temperate climatic zones and does well in ordinary soil, enriched soil, and mildly acidic to mildly alkaline soil. It has a hollow stem, red or green in color, thick, flexible and short, glabrous and succulent.
The rhizome of this plant can be used as preventive measures for kidney stones or for its treatment. A 2014 study revealed that rats given a treatment containing the plant extracts had reduced levels of urine oxalates, and those oxalates are typically what cause kidney stones.
Various medicinal uses are associated with the Leaf of Life, including the following :
