Blumea Balsamifera (Sambong) 500 mg capsule box of 100's
 
Before going deeper into sambong benefits, let us first learn a few facts about this excellent medicinal plant. Blumea balsamifera, more commonly known to us as “sambong,” has a wide range of health benefits recognized by the Department of Health (DOH).
It is one of the ten herbal medicines used in treating certain conditions. Called “subsob” in Ilocos and “bukadkad” in Visayas, this plant has green leaves and a hairy underside and stems that can grow up to 2.5 centimeters. The plant itself is tall, growing up to 3.5 meters.
 
Sambong is an effective treatment for kidney stones
In one study, it was found that Sambong extract decreases the size of calcium oxalate crystals. Calcium oxalate is one of the most common types of stones found in our kidneys. Not only did Sambong reduce the size of the crystals, but it also inhibited its aggregation. This means that aside from being used as kidney stone treatment, one of the other Sambong benefits is the prevention of stone formation.
