A Kidney Stones Home Remedy With Taste
Who said medicines have to taste awful?
Water with lemon
The best way to stay hydrated is the classic still mineral water or natural fresh lemonade.
Lemons have high levels of citrate, which is naturally used by kidneys to prevent formation of stones.
Lemons help both in breaking the stones and in removing them due to their diuretic properties.
Black radish
... is a fountain of health. It is rich in vitamin C, B1, magnesium,
iron and calcium. These elements make it an excellent kidney,
gallbladder and
liver cleanse, by increasing the quantity and fluidity of gall and kidneys.
The active principles contained in black radishes promote
breaking of kidney stones (urinary calculi) and their removal. They
also help prevent the formation of new stones.
Drink 1 tablespoon of black radish juice in the morning, on an
empty stomach. Grate the radices and squeeze them through gauze. You
might take a while to get used to the taste. Some even find it icky.
Be careful because this juice irritates a little the
stomach lining. Eat immediately after drinking the juice. If you have a
sensitive stomach, mix it with carrot juice. In case you have more
serious problems with stomach or intestines, avoid radish juice.
Grapefruits
Do you like
grapefruits? You do? Then follow this "strict treatment": Eat one grapefruit on an empty stomach in the morning.
Some sources say grapefruit juice may increase the chances of getting kidney stones, while others (for example this article from British Journal of Nutrition) say different.
I think one grapefruit a day won't hurt and it's a kidney
stones home remedy worth trying. Just remember to also drink lots of
water.
Kidney Sone Clear - homeopathic remedy dissolves and clears kidney stones, plus relieves pain, nausea and vomiting.
Watermelon
... has 90% water and it's a no-brainer for a kidney cleanse. I can
tell you from personal experience that you will surely go to the
bathroom often :)
Try this secret watermelon cure:
Eat watermelons for 10-20 days to cleanse your whole body. That's it! I'm kidding. Actually there is one more secret:
Before the treatment, as well as in the last 3 days use herbal remedies for kidney stones to break them in little pieces. Then the water from watermelon will remove them.
After taking these herbs, keep a bottle with hot water on the
kidney area for 1 or 2 hours. Some herbs that cause the stones to break
are Birch leaves (Betula alba), Cranberry leaves (Vaccinium vitis
idaea), Pine resin (Pinus sylvestris) and Juniper berries (Juniperus
communis).
There is no contraindication to this cure, except if you have renal failure.
Olive oil
Another easy kidney stones home remedy is
Olive oil (extra
virgin). Just mix 3 tablespoons of olive oil with the juice from 2
lemons. Stir well and drink half an hour before a meal. Repeat this
twice daily, for 2-3 weeks.
Instead of lemon juice, mix the olive oil with Horsetail
tincture to increase its efficiency and help with the nausea. This
treatment is also effective for gallstones.
After the treatment, it is possible that the stones which
travel down will trigger an unbearable pain. In this case, call your
doctor for a pain killer prescription.
Parsley
Take 6-8
parsley stems and leaves and boil in with 1 l water.
Simmer until the water level drops by half. Drink this tea instead of
other liquid (about 2 l per day), for 3-4 weeks. It is a good diuretic
and it soothes the pain.
