Does unripe walnut treat kidney stone to have strange effect?! Hearing this statement, there must be many people with a skeptical attitude. However, raw walnuts can indeed heal patients with kidney stones. Patients with kidney stones do not need to take medication or undergo surgery. As long as they stick to eating raw walnuts, they will be pleasantly surprised to find that the stones are gradually expelled from the body after a few days.
It turns out that in the Tang Dynasty medical book "The Collection and Examination of Prescriptions on the Sea", there was a record of eating walnut stones:
Take one liter of walnut meat and one liter of rice boiled Congee. Later, Professor Huang Wendong's "Practical Internal Medicine of Traditional Chinese Medicine" was published, in which there were reports on the prevention and treatment of stones by eating raw walnut meat. It was believed that the mechanism was to acidify urine to regulate the pH value, making magnesium phosphate stones, calcium oxalate stones, and the like impossible to survive in acidic environments. In addition, there are also literature reports that walnut meat contains pyruvic acid, which can prevent the binding of mucin and calcium ions, thereby preventing the formation of stones. In the "Dictionary of Traditional Chinese Medicine" published in June 1986, there is a more detailed record: 120 grams of walnut kernels are fried in oil, mixed and ground with sugar in an appropriate amount, and taken within 1-2 days (as children may consider it). Generally, within a few days after taking the medicine, they can expel stones once or multiple times, and continue taking the medicine until the stones are removed and the symptoms disappear.
Later, when treating patients with kidney stones, an expert intentionally asked them to use 30g of Lysimachia japonica decoction instead of tea daily (Lysimachia japonica can inhibit the growth and aggregation of oxalic acid crystals in urine for 24 hours, has the effect of preventing the formation of calcium containing stones, and can acidify urine, making stones easy to dissolve). In addition, they ate 4-5 raw walnut meat per day for a monthly course of treatment, resulting in many people avoiding the pain of surgery or ultrasonic lithotripsy.
The expert also stated in the article that in fact, arranging stones is only a "sideline" of walnuts
The main function of walnuts is to strengthen the kidney and essence, warm the lungs and calm asthma, and can treat cough due to kidney deficiency, low back pain, soft feet, and constipation. "Compendium of Materia Medica" records that using walnut kernels, almonds, and ginseng to make pills can treat chronic cough due to kidney deficiency. Simmer walnuts, chew them while lying down, and send them down with warm wine. This can treat frequent urination. Elderly people with prostate hyperplasia may wish to give it a try.
Modern medicine has also proven that walnuts are rich in a large number of fatty proteins with special structures, as well as carotenoids, vitamins, and phosphorus, iron, and magnesium. According to information, the nutritional value of 500 grams of walnuts is equal to 2500 grams of eggs, or 4750 grams of milk, or 1500 grams of pork, so it is known as the "nutrition bank.".
