Natural ways of getting rid of kidney stones

The urinary lithiasis is a condition that refers to the apparition of a small pebble that migrates through the urinary tract until it has no more room to continue or it gets stuck in the wall of the urinary tract, obstructing them completely or partially. As an obstacle, the urine that is continuously being secreted grows in volume and increases the pressure in the urinary tract situated above the stone, including in the kidney. In this case, the segment of the urinary tract where the stone is blocked strains its muscles (spasms) in order to eliminate the stone and that spasm is extremely painful.

Natural treatment and alimentary measures for urinary lithiasis

To avoid in your diet...

Milk can contribute to the formation of kidney stones. Specialist studies have proven that both lactose and calcium are involved in the formation of kidney stones.

Alcohol also prejudices the urinary apparatus, is toxic and favors the apparition of stones.

Sugar, molasses, white flower and other floury products consumed excessively result in metabolic products that, through renal elimination, favor the apparition of stones.

Proteins, especially meat ones, lead to an increase in the oxalate levels in the urine. Try not to exaggerate consuming meat products, and while following a treatment for renal lithiasis, try to have a vegetarian diet, as much as possible. Fats also affect the well functioning of the renal apparatus. British studies have shown that those suffering of renal lithiasis had a higher concentration of fats in their blood.

Bran aren't recommended for those suffering from kidney stones, because they affect the evolution of the healing process by up to 25%.

Excessive alimentary supplements may favor the formation of stones. For example, an excessive intake of vitamin C can increase the urinary secretion of oxalic acid, which favors the formation of stones. It is why it is recommended that you don't consume citric fruits, apples, lemons, etc., more than fruit a day.

An excess of vitamin D stimulated the production of the parathyroidian hormone and thus should be avoided.

Hydration

The easiest way to favor the elimination of the already formed stone is hydration. Drink at least 2 liters of fluids a day when you want to eliminate kidney stones. It is recommended to drink water or unsweetened teas and to avoid fizzy drinks, beverages that contain caffeine or sour fruit juices.

Renal teas

There are several teas that act favorably for eliminating kidney stones, so there is a large variety of choice: shepherd'purse, white wormwood alb, yarrow, oxlip, cherry stalks, sour cherry stalks, pear leaves, horsetail, mint, nettle, rose hips, corn silk, birch leaves, dandelion, ribwort.
