Reduces risk: Research suggests green tea reduces risk of kidney stones- see http://www.Webmd.Com/kidney-stones/news/20091120/green-tea-may-prevent-kidney-stones however, the caffeine in green tea can aggravate anxiety and raise BP so decaf green tea is a better choice for you- the theanine in it may reduce anxiety.
