Craterostigma nanum

Craterostigma nanum, also known as the Indian pennywort, is a flowering plant species native to the Himalayan region and parts of Africa.

This plant is traditionally used for its medicinal properties, particularly in the treatment of various types of kidney stones and urinary disorders, due to its diuretic and anti-inflammatory effects.

The health benefits of Craterostigma nanum include reducing the risk of kidney stones, alleviating symptoms of urinary tract infections, and potentially lowering blood pressure.

In herbal preparations, the plant is often consumed as a tea or used in capsule form, although further research is needed to fully understand its efficacy and optimal dosage.
