The company claims that this product has the potential to effectively dissolve kidney stones. Whether this claim is right or not will be assessed based on scientific data. I'll provide an in-depth evaluation. Ultimately, the decision to purchase depends on your individual preferences and needs. Since Ayurveda and Alternative medicines are very famous among Indian people, There is no  surprise that most quack companies are based in India.
