Avoid Drinking Sodas & Sugary Fruit Juice
Soft drinks that are acidified with phosphoric acid will acidify your urine and lead to the stone formation and fructose increases excretion of calcium, oxalate and uric acid which can contribute to stone formation.
Olive Oil, Lemon Juice and Bragg’s Apple Cider Cleanse
This happens to be extremely effective and helpful with pain and discomfort. Mix 2 oz. olive oil with 2 oz. lemon juice and drink it. Follow it immediately with 12 oz. pure water. After 30 minutes squeeze ½ of a lemon into 12 oz. pure water and add 1 TBSP Bragg’s apple cider vinegar and drink. Repeat hourly until symptoms improve.
Uva Ursi
This is a fantastic herb beneficial for combating infections in the urinary tract often caused by stones. 500mg twice daily is a good dose.
Dandelion Root
It stimulates the production of bile which carries away waste. You can drink it as a tea or take it as a 500mg supplement capsule.
Baking Soda
This is a wonderful way to alkalinize your system and will dissolve uric acid stones. Take 1 teaspoon of baking soda in 4-6 oz. water and drink it down.
Magnesium
A deficiency of magnesium has been linked to the formation of stones so increase your magnesium intake. Magnesium keeps calcium from forming with oxalate.
Citric Acid
Citric acid is protective and makes the urine less favorable to the formation of stones. Lemons and limes have the most citric acid so try to use them, on your salads and often through the day.
Parsley
Parsley contains a compound called Apiol which aids in the treatment of kidney stones.
Nettles
Nettle tea or capsules are great for breaking down stones in the kidneys and gravel in the bladder.
Acupuncture
This can help you pass a kidney stone of 5mm or less. It can also help with the pain associated with kidney stones. While we can do a lot to improve the homeostasis or balance in our body physically it is critically important to clear the emotional conflicts that are associated with illness so that the body can heal naturally and fully.
The body mirrors the emotions and it is imperative to take a look at what the body is telling us about ourselves. If we try to stop the symptoms without getting to the source of our issues then we do not do ourselves any favors. Below is what I think is the most important thing that can be done to naturally get rid of kidney stones and prevent them from returning.
Clear The Emotional Connection
Kidney stones are associated with a conflict of inability to mark or organize your territory and set your boundaries as well as worrying if you are able to survive your particular circumstance. This can show up in many ways in our life such as a child coming back home to live with a parent and bringing a certain chaos OR a wife of a Marine who finds that she has to move her home each year and can’t seem to get settled.
Maybe you are in conflict about staying where you are living and would like to leave but your spouse disagrees. It’s possible you are in a relationship with your partner that is abusive and you can’t find your way out. Maybe you are working in an environment with a pushy, nosy co-worker who is intrusive. This can show up in a number of ways and you have to search your heart to see your particular issue related to territory. You also have to take steps to resolve the problem.
Remember, without clearing the emotional conflict it is difficult to clear the physical illness. You have to take a holistic approach to healing with everything your body presents. Also, remember that it is important to work closely with your personal physician regarding any medications you may be taking that could be contributing to kidney stone formation or that may interact with any herbals or cleanses you choose to use to help clear them.
