Traditional Chinese medicine can be used to treat vesical calculi to some extent.
Chinese herbal medicine is a main approach. Some herbs are considered to have the effect of promoting diuresis and expelling stones. For example,金钱草 (Lysimachia christinae) is often used. It's believed to help dissolve the stones and increase urine output to flush out the stones.
Another way is through the use of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions that aim to regulate the function of the urinary system and Qi (vital energy) and blood circulation. These prescriptions are designed to relieve pain and improve the overall condition of the bladder.
However, it's important to note that for larger bladder stones, traditional Chinese medicine alone may not be sufficient. In such cases, it's usually necessary to combine it with Western - medicine treatments like surgical removal or lithotripsy.
