Are there any natural remedies for Kidney stones?

Intro ------- The formation of stones in the kidneys is the result of defects in the general metabolism. They usually occur when the urine becomes highly concentrated due to heavy perspiration or insufficient intake of fluids. They are aggravated by a sedentary life-style.

The other causes are a wrong diet, excess intake of acid-forming foods, white flour and sugar products, meat, tea,coffee, condiments and spices, rich foods, and overeating. Lack of vitamin A and an excessive intake of vitamin D may also lead to formation of stones. Symptoms -------------- Kidney stones usually cause severe pain in their attempt to pass down the ureter on their way to the bladder.

The pain is first felt in the side and, therefter, in the groin and thighs. Other symptoms, of kidney stones are a frequent desire to urinate, painful urination, scanty urination, nausea, vomiting, sweating, and chills. The patient may also pass blood with the urine.

Home remedies --------------------- Apples are useful in kidney stones. In countries where the natural unsweetened cider is a common beverage, cases of stones or calculus are practically absent. The ripe fresh fruit is, however, more valuable.

Grapes have an exceptional diuretic value on account of their high contents of water and potassium salt. The value of this fruit in kidney troubles is enhanced by its low albumin and sodium chloride content. It is an excellent cure for kidney stones.

The seeds of both sour and sweet pomegranates are useful medicine for kidney stones. A tablespoon of the seeds, ground into a fine paste, can be given along with a cup of horse gram (kulthi) soup to dissolve gravel in kidneys. Two tablespoons of horse gram should be used for preparing the cup of soup.To be avoided ------------------ A patient with kidney stones should avoid foods, which irritate the kidneys, to control acidity or alkalinity of the urine.

He should also ensure adequate intake of fluids to prevent the urine from becoming concentrated. The foods considered irritants to the kidneys are alcoholic beverages; condiments and pickles; certain vegetables like cucumber, radish, tomato, spinach, rhubarb; those with a strong aroma such as asparagus, onion, beans, cabbage, and cauliflower; meat and gravies; and carbonated waters.

I have had kidney stones. The doctors who treated me did not talk about cures for kidney stones, but they did stress the importance of increasing the amount of water that I was drinking. I had my first kidney stone at about 10 and the next at about 40.

Since then I have passed a few more, but without the extreme pain of the first two. When I realize that I have a stone, I start drinking water like crazy and it passes. I know when it passes due to pain in the penis.

Bladder stones do not feel as painful in the body, except in the penis. I had surgery about a year ago for a bladder stone that I had not even realized I had until blood showed up in my urine. According to my doctor, both kinds of stones are usually the result of a particle of some kind that get stuck and starts to accumulate additional sticky material.

While I was having my operation, another guy was being operated on, too, but his was much worse because the stone had become attached to the lining.

Yes there is! There are many different home remedy for kidney stones you can try. You can choose treatment using vegetables or fruits.
