What is Hai Jin Sha?:

The Chinese Herb Hai Jin Sha is the spores of a large, climbing tropical fern native to Taiwan, Japan, and other parts of Southeast Asia in the genus Lygodium known as the Japanese climbing fern– Lygodium japonicum (Thumb.).  Its large leaves produce spores for reproduction that are collected and used as medicine.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Therapeutic Actions of Hai Jin Sha:

Hai Jin Sha promotes diuresis and expels stones and can be used to treat lin zheng (dysuria syndrome) with burning sensations, blood in the urine (hematuria), turbid/cloudy urine, and/or urinary stones. It is also commonly used in formula to help expel gallstones.
