SOLUTION FOR KIDNEY STONE

 NATURAL REMEDIES

Watermelons and watermelon juice are fantastic for flushing out the kidneys and dissolving kidney stones. Fruit and vegetable juices such as grape, orange and carrot juices are also terrific home remedies for kidney stones. They contain citrate's - which help to slow down the production of uric acid - another culprit known to cause stones in the kidneys.



 Chanca Piedra

It has been used successfully in Peru for hundreds of years and carries no toxicity or side effects. Most health food stores can supply it or you can buy it online here.



Cereal Grass

Cereal grasses such as wheat grass and barley grass have been used for thousands of years as a “cure all” medicine. They are renowned for helping to alkalize the body and prevent kidney stones from forming. Green tea is also thought to be extremely helpful as a home remedy for kidney stones. Remember, the Japanese drink lots of green tea everyday and they very rarely get kidney stones.














Apple Cider Vinegar and Baking Soda

 ACV is one of the best internal cleansers available. It is also one of best kidney flushers in existence! Baking soda is also a very potent cure for kidney stones as it alkalizes the body quickly and removes acid. Remember this... kidney stones can only occur in an acidic environment. Baking soda removes the acid and so removes kidney stones!
Mix up 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and 1/2 a teaspoon of baking soda in a large glass of water and drink 3 times a day (be aware of the initial "fizz" that occurs). Also, when it comes to purchasing apple cider vinegar in the liquid or tablet forms, make sure you only ever buy reputable organic.

Lemon is a citrus fruit that contains citrate, a main inhibitor of calcium stones and makes your urine to pass normally by decreasing the potential to form kidney stones. Lemon juice will break up and dissolves the stones in our kidney and allow them to pass easily from kidney to bladder. Olive oil helps to coat the narrow tubes which are connecting from kidney to bladder to make the stone move easily.
