Abstract in brief

This review highlights that certain dietary plants like green tea, raspberry, parsley, pomegranate, and others, along with their chemical compounds, may help prevent and manage kidney stones by acting as antioxidants, diuretics, and antispasmodics, and by inhibiting crystal formation.
Human studies suggest that diets high in vegetables and fruits are linked to a lower risk of kidney stones, with bioactive compounds like catechins and quercetin playing key roles.
While the findings are promising, more research is needed to confirm the safety and effectiveness of these plants and their extracts in preventing kidney stones.]
