Natural Kidney Stone Cure
Flush
Kidney
Stones with More Than Water
Water
is by far the most important
ingredient in any kidney stone prevention
or home remedy treatment plan. Water is the key in many natural
treatments used
with many ailments because it flushes the body of impurities and keeps
the body
running efficiently. If you aren’t drinking enough, your
urine will simply have
higher concentrations of substances that can form stones. Urine should
be a
light yellow. Waiting until you are thirsty is often too late. Thirst
usually
signifies dehydration. Increase your water intake during periods of
high
activity and visiting warmer climates.

Doctors
will frequently recommend only
water to flush out painful kidney stones. Some patients will manage to
flush
out painful kidney stones by simply drinking large quantities of water
or a
period of days. Other patients may wait for weeks or months to pass
their
painful kidney stones.
Fortunately
other natural kidney
stone remedies do exist and we are here to show you just a few.
- Take
apple cider vinegar. You can consume 1 table spoon of apple cider
vinegar each day, or mix it with water.
- Many
kidney stones are larger and have a more concentrated calcium
construction rendering them too large to pass with only water. Many
doctors now recommend natural acids to be mixed in with your water
consumption to assist in breaking down the stone to a more manageable
size. Natural acids work so well is because they actually dissolve the
calcium composite stone(s). This kidney stone cure literally dissolves
stones like butter on a hot pan.
- Use
diuretic tea to dissolve kidney stones. Diuretic tea is a mixture of
herbs and hot water that encourages your body to urinate often, helping
to flush out the stones. Combine dandelion, fennel seed, corn silk, oat
straw and nettle leaf together in a bowl. Boil 1 qt. (.95 L) of water.
Mix it with 1/2 tsp. (2.5 ml) of the herb mixture. Cover the mixture
with a lid. Let it sit for 20 minutes. Pour the mixture through a
strainer or coffee filter over a tea cup. This will remove the herbs,
allowing you to drink the hot water in which they were steeped. Drink a
cup of the tea in the morning, and a cup at night
The
best kidney stone remedy is
prevention. Be aware of what is going into your body and what the long
term
ramifications could be. These simple kidney stone prevention
tips may save you from an unimaginably painful situation.
- Water
is essential for your body's health. About 80% of people are dehydrated
and are not even aware of it. The best guide to water consumption is to
drink about half your body weight in ounces of water per day. If you
weigh 180 pounds, you should drink 90 ounces of water each and every
day. This is not as easy as it sounds, but should definitely become a
primary objective.
- Many
kidney stone sufferers are B-6 deficient. Therefore, you should
consider taking a complete B-complex vitamin which will drastically
reduce your risk.
- Avoid
soft drinks in large quantities, especially those which contain
phosphorus and can lead to kidney stone formation. To further confuse
the issue an occasional soft drink containing phosphoric acid may be
beneficial. Some researchers have concluded phosphoric acid may
actually assist in dissolving kidney stones. Read our article titled

Cure Them ".
- Enjoy
plenty of vegetable juices and fruit juices with high levels of
citrates. The best choices are cranberry, carrot, grape, apple, and
orange juices. Citrates reduce the buildup of uric acid and help
eliminate the formation of calcium salts which cause most kidney stones.
- Be
aware of your diet. What you consume can help or hinder your health as
well. A few simple rules to remember are, avoid high sugar foods, watch
your red meat consumption, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables which
contain fibre that assists your body to flush and pass your kidney
stones.
- Drink
beverages containing lemons every day. Whether you drink real lemonade,
lemon juice or just water with a few lemon slices, the acidic nature
helps in dissolving kidney stones.
- Ask
about prescription drugs. Your doctor may prescribe a diuretic such
which reduces the rate at which you lose calcium in your urine, or
allopurinol, which can decrease uric acid formation.
The
remedies listed above are not intended to replace medical care. If
you’re experiencing a lot of pain from kidney stones, see
your
doctor immediately.
