Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Field Bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis) has been used traditionally in some folk medicine systems, particularly in regions of Asia and Europe, for a variety of ailments, including as a diuretic and for supporting kidney health. The rationale for its use in the context of kidney stones is based primarily on its reported mild diuretic properties, which might theoretically aid in flushing small stones or preventing stone formation. However, there is very limited historical documentation specifically linking field bindweed to the treatment or prevention of kidney stones. Most references are general and mention its use for kidney or urinary issues broadly, without controlled studies or specific mechanisms elucidated. There is no significant scientific validation from clinical studies to confirm its efficacy for kidney stones. Overall, the use of field bindweed for kidney stones is rooted in traditional herbal practices, but the evidence supporting its effectiveness is weak, anecdotal, and not substantiated by rigorous research.
