摘要
This review presents data on the high efficacy of acqua di Fiuggi water in the treatment and prophylaxis of urinary stone disease. Acqua di Fiuggi is a natural oligomineral water with a strong diuretic effect. Its contents include the humic substances with which the soil of the Anticolana valley is enriched. Humous substances, which are natural macromolecules with complex, disordered moleculare structures, include humic acids and fulvic acids, which are key components of acqua di Fiuggi. These acids can disorder the crystal lattices of calcium salts (oxalates, phosphates, etc.) in kidney stones, forming soluble calcium complexes. The result is that stones dissolve and are eliminated from the human body via the natural pathway.
