Local Herbal Drink to Cleanse Kidneys and get rid of Stone in it

I am not sure what is the actual name of the above red coloured herbs but my friend told me that it can help to break down the stones that accumulated in our kidneys. This herbs can be grown easily in our garden and you can also find it at many wet markets. I would normally cook it with Mutt Cho (Chinese Preserved Dates) and drink it just like Tong Sui (sweetened drinks).
I am not sure whether it works or not but, this herbal red grass drink is rather tasty, especially when chilled!

Anyone know the name of this local herbs?

Hey, i know this. It grow a lot at my garden. At first we didn't know it is useful till my mum told my mother in law. I don't know what it call, but my mum also said the same things, good for the kidney. Now every week my mil will boil a big pot and "force" us to drink. We don't add any sugar, just the herbs, it's a bit red colour right, like roselle colour, but no taste.
