KIDNEY STONES
The kidneys are one of the most important organs in the human body.
The kidneys help to detox and filter impurities from the blood, as well
as waste products in our urine. Kidney stones form when the kidneys are
not able to process toxins efficiently. Specifically, a crystallization
of unprocessed minerals builds up, causing pain, stones, and possible
blockage of urine flow.The following are some simple natural remedies to
help soothe the discomfort of kidney stones, as well as speed up the
body’s natural healing process.
1. Lemon Juice, Olive Oil, and Raw Apple Cider Vinegar
This is one of my favorites and easily one of the most effective
remedies for kidney stones and associated pain. At the first symptom of
stone pain, mix 2 oz of organic olive oil with 2 oz of organic lemon
juice.Drink it straight and follow with a 12 ounce glass of purified
water. Wait 30 minutes. Then, squeeze the juice of 1/2 lemon in 12
ounces of purified water, add 1 tablespoon of organic raw apple cider
vinegar and drink. Repeat the lemon juice, water and apple cider vinegar
recipe every hour until symptoms improve.
2. Kidney Beans
The shape of this bean may be indicative of its healing potential. An
effective urinary home remedy for kidney stones, traditionally the pods
where used as a medicinal decoction.Try removing the beans from inside
the pods, and then boiling the pods in purified hot water for six hours.
This liquid can be strained through cheese cloth, cooled and taken
throughout the day for one day to ease kidney stone pain.
3. Pomegranate Juice
We’ve all heard that pomegranates have many health benefits. But,
more specifically, the seeds and juice of pomegranates can be considered
another natural remedy for kidney stones. This may be related to their
sour and astringent properties. Try eating organic pomegranates or
drinking freshly-squeezed pomegranate
4. Organic Celery
Both the vegetable and the celery seed are great diuretics and kidney
tonics. Regular use of celery seed, as a spice or as a tea, may prevent
kidney stone formation.
5. Basil
A kidney tonifier, basil tea can be taken throughout the day for
overall kidney health. If you have kidney stones try taking one teaspoon
each of basil juice with raw honey daily for up to six months. It’s
believed that folk remedies with pure basil juice can help induce stone
expulsion from the urinary tract.
6. Change in Diet
Unhealthy food intake is a primary cause of kidney stones. Cut down
on the amount of sodas and energy drinks you consume. Avoid processed
foods and alcoholic beverages. Add more fruits and veggies to your diet.
