What vervain does appear to do is increase urine output. Increased urination may help prevent the formation of kidney stones.

This irritation can hurt the kidneys more than help, especially over the long term.There's a lot of folklore surrounding vervain. One of its nicknames is "Herb of the Cross" because certain sources state that it was used to stop Jesus' wounds from bleeding after he was taken off the cross.
