Kidney stones (calculi) may occur anywhere in the kidneys or
ureters and are caused by crystallization of various substances in the
urine, often when the body id dehydrated, causing the urine to be more
concentrated.
The following home remedies for kidney stones will help you
in passing the stones and also in preventing them from occurring again.
Water! Typically, kidney stones are caused by
dehydration (not getting enough water). If you live in an area with hot, humid
weather or where clean water is rare, your odds of getting kidney stones are
tripled. Therefore, you must begin your natural treatment with drinking at least
10 tall glasses of water a day. A good tip is to compete against a friend or
spouse. Who can drink the most water?
Citric Acid! Did you know that lemons are potent with
citric acid? And citric acids and lemons have been known to dissolve hard
materials, even stones. Add a lemon to your drinking water to spruce things
up.
CELERY SEEDS: Can help dissolve stones.
Simply boil 2 cups of water and then added 2 tablespoons of celery seeds. Cook
till the seeds are soft and then strain the seeds from the water. Drink a ½ cup
once every hour.
Cranberry juice is another beverage I bet your
grandmother indulged in frequently. She had a plan and a reason behind it.
Cranberry juice is beneficial for cleansing the body and is equally
beneficial.
Nettle leaf: This leaf is known for its urination
promotion abilities. Drinking up to 2 to 3 cups of nettle leaf tea daily may
prevent the formation of kidney stones. Nettle leaf works by constantly keeping
water flowing through the body's kidneys and bladder; it also helps to wash away
bacteria. Nettle leaf tea can be prepared by simply mixing 1 or 2 tablespoons of
dried nettle leaf with a cup of hot water and leave to infuse for 10 to 15
minutes.
Drink Soda! If you drink at least 10 glasses of water
a day, then a daily soft drink could possibly prevent future kidney stones by
dissolving the stones. A recent study proved this theory and a natural cure
working in 2 hours will pass kidney stones in less than one day. Discover more

Pomegranates: Seeds of pomegranates (both sweet and
sour) have proved effective in treating renal calculi. Pomegranate seeds are
grounded into a fine paste and a tablespoon of the paste and can be used with
horse gram soup in order to dissolve renal calculi. To prepare a cup of this
soup, two tablespoons of horse gram should be used.
Ginger is a cleansing agent that flushes the bowels
and kidneys. This remedy could help flush your kidneys which could pass your
stones. You can find this herb in capsule form at most health food stores.
