Hydrangea root tincture is often used in the urinary tract, for the dissolving of gravel and stones.

The tincture has traditionally been used for the treatment of cleansing out the kidneys.
Hydrangea root tincture has also been traditionally used for the treatment of various ailments, which include other urinary issues, rheumatism, gout, the sexually transmitted disease gonorrhea, gallstones, bladder infections and arthritis.
