How to get rid of Stones in kidney
A kidney stone problem
is nothing to laugh about. It can seriously compromise your kidneys if
left untreated. And an attack – called a renal colic – is widely
considered as the most intense pain a person can ever experience. Faced
with these very real problems, a person who suffers from kidney stones
will try everything to expel the stones from their body and prevent
stones from forming again. Doctors usually prescribe a number of
medications to stop your body from forming kidney stones. Then there are
also medications specifically for melting these stones. But usually,
doctors would recommend either the surgical removal of these stones or
for a patient to undergo a non-invasive procedure using sound waves that
is relatively expensive. But what if cheaper, homeopathic alternatives
are available, too?
There are a number of homeopathic remedies being prescribed as an
alternative to kidney stone trouble. These remedies, being homeopathic
in nature, are not backed by extensive scientific research. But the
anecdotal evidence is strong enough that it won’t hurt to try these
remedies out if you are suffering from kidney stones and want a natural
way of getting rid of them.
Kidney Stone Remedy # 1: Water flush
One simple remedy in preventing kidney stones is by drinking lots of
fluids. Make sure to drink enough fluids to produce, at the very least, 2
liters of urine every day. Technically, it is the amount of urine
produced in a day that is more important compared to how much liquid you
drink. Additionally, fluid here would refer to water because it is the
healthiest hydration you can imbibe. Drinks like coffee, soda or iced
tea have sugars and other chemicals that could also contribute to the
formation of kidney stones.
Kidney Stone Remedy # 2: Coconut water
This is a popular folk remedy that is also quite easy to follow.
Drinking coconut water is said to help break down the stones that have
already formed in the kidney, which makes it easier to pass out when you
urinate.
Kidney Stone Remedy # 3: Lemon Juice and Olive Oil
Drinking a mixture made from two ounces of lemon juice and two ounces
of olive oil then following it with a big glass of water is said to
help melt the stone and also lubricate it when it passes through your
system. Expect for the stone to pass within a day.
Kidney Stone Remedy # 4: Onions
Cook two medium sized onions in one glass of water until it softens
enough. Blend the water and onions when it has cooled down and strain
it. Keep the juice and drink it over the course of three days. People
who have tried this remedy said that their stones began to pass on the
second day of treatment.
Kidney Stone Remedy # 5: Oranges
Researchers from UT Southwestern Medical Center made a study in 2006,
which showed that taking a glass of orange juice everyday helped in
preventing the formation or recurrence of kidney stones. The study
showed that orange juice worked best compared to other fruit juices.
Kidney Stone Remedy # 6: Pomegranate
According to some people, pomegranates can be an effective cure for
kidney stones. The procedure is to make a soup out of take one cup of
pomegranate seeds and two cups of horse gram and then drink this soup
mixture.
Kidney Stone Remedy # 7: Herbs
The Chinese use a particular herb called Chicken Bone Grass as the prescribed treatment for kidney stones and even gallstones.
Another popularly recommended herbal remedy is a mixture of 3 ounces
of pineapple juice, 3 ounces of tonic water, a little nutmeg and
cinnamon. The patient is supposed to drink this concoction in the
morning and at night for four to five straight days.
Blumea Balsamifera, a plant that is quite common in the Indian
subcontinent and Southeast Asia is a well known herb used in dissolving
kidney stones. The leaves of the plant are boiled and the decoction
will be drunk by the patient.
