KIDNEY STONE - NATURAL TREATMENT
The kidneys are one of our vital organs, performing the important job
of filtering impurities from the blood and eliminating wastes from the
body in the form of urine. The kidneys also play the important role of
regulating electrolyte levels in the body, a task that is vital for
proper bodily functioning. Urine that is produced is eliminated from the
body through the ureters, which is a narrow tube that drains from the
kidneys into the bladder. As urine accumulates in the bladder and the
bladder gets filled you experience the urge to urinate and the urine is
then emptied from the bladder through the urethra. The urethra is a much
wider tube as compared to the ureter. Kidney stones can pose a serious
problem impairing the kidney functions and obstructing the elimination
of urine.
The problem of kidney stones arises because of the crystallization of
certain chemicals or minerals in the urine giving rise to different
types of kidney stones like uric acid kidney stones or calcium stones.
At the time of formation these kidney stones are actually miniscule,
smaller than a grain of sand, and may cause no visible symptoms at all.
But they tend to grow larger over time reaching up to a tenth of an inch
or even larger. The size of the kidney stones however is not always as
much of a concern as would be the location of the kidney stones. If
stones develop or are present in the urinary tract the condition is
referred to as urolithiasis, while the presence of stones in the kidneys
is referred to as nephrolithiasis, and stones lodged in the ureter are
referred to as ureterolithiasis. If the stone is located in such a
position as to cause a blockage or obstruction of urine flow, then it
could be problematic.

The kidneys continue to function normally even upon the formation of
stones. The kidneys continue to filter wastes and generate urine and
there is usually no immediate problem. As the stone expands in size or
moves the problems can start to emerge. If the kidney stone slips into
the ureter it begins to act like a dam, restricting the flow of urine.
Pressure from urine accumulation builds up behind the stone deposit and
as the pressure builds it causes the kidneys to swell up, causing pain.
This is the pain that is associated with kidney stones. As this pressure
builds up though, it may cause the stone to be pushed along the course
of the ureter, expelling it into the bladder. When this happens the
pressure on the kidneys is relieved and the symptoms of a kidney stone
will dissipate.
The formation of stones in the kidneys or urinary tract is not an
uncommon disorder. The stones are formed from the chemicals usually
found in the urine such as uric acid, phosphorus, calcium, and oxalic
acid. They may vary in consistency from grit, sand, and gravel-like
obstructions the size of a bird's egg. Stones may form and grow because
the concentration of a particular substance in the urine exceeds its
solubility. Most kidney stones are composed either of calcium oxalate or
phosphate, the latter being most common in the presence of infection.
About ninety per cent of all stones contain calcium as the chief
constituent. More than half of these are mixtures of calcium, ammonium
and magnesium, phosphates and carbonates, while the remainder contain
oxalate.
Kidney stones are a relatively common problem, and under normal
circumstances are non-threatening but should be treated very seriously.
Although kidney stones in themselves may not pose any severe risk,
neglecting them puts you at serious risk of permanent damage to the
kidneys or at risk of other complications developing. Mild cases of
kidney stones may in fact need no medical treatment and following some
simple home remedies could help to get rid of kidney stones naturally
and quite fast. Following certain dietary remedies could also help to
dissolve kidney stones naturally. Passing kidney stones can however
cause excruciating pain, and the condition does cause other painful
symptoms like pain in the back, in the side and just below the ribs,
radiating towards the groins and lower abdomen. The pain that is
experienced may change however as the kidney stone changes its location.
Most home remedies for kidney stones pain and conventional medications
are meant to provide kidney stone pain relief. In cases where there is a
high risk of kidney stones recurring or in cases of recurrent kidney
stones, medical attention would however be necessary.
Kidney stones symptoms
Severe Pain in their Attempt to Pass Down the Ureter
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, thereafter, in the groin and thighs.
Frequent Desire to Urinate, Painful Urination, Scanty Urination, Nausea
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.
Symptoms for Kidney Stones
Kidney stones don’t always cause symptoms as the extent and severity
of the symptoms would depend primarily on the location of the kidney
stone and then on the size of the stone. Generally the symptoms will not
appear until the stone has moved into the ureter. You would then be
likely to experience some or possibly all of these symptoms:
•
Severe pain towards the side and back, just beneath the ribs.
•
Pain may radiate from the groins and lower abdomen and urination is likely to be particularly painful.
•
Change in urine color, with urine being pink, red or brown is also likely. You may also feel a persistent urge to urinate.
•
At times there may also be nausea and possibly vomiting.
If there is also an infection you may experience fevers and chills.
Causes of kidney stones
Defects in the General Metabolism
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.
Wrong Diet, Excess Intake of Acid-Forming Foods, White Flour and Sugar Products
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, excessive intake of vitamin D
Lack of vitamin A and an excessive intake of vitamin D may also lead to formation of stones.
Causes of Kidney Stones
Keep in mind that a proper diagnosis of the causes is absolutely
essential for any effective course of treatment, whether with
conventional medical procedures for kidney stone removal and recovery or
with natural methods, like a diet to prevent kidney stones. If you
suspect that you have kidney stones it is therefore important that you
visit your doctor promptly for an accurate diagnosis so as to identify
the nature of the kidney stones. This is particularly important from the
home treatment aspect as the foods that cause kidney stone will defer
depending on the nature of kidney stones. For example, the prevention
and treatment of uric acid kidney stones would require avoidance or
drastic reduction of foods rich in uric acid for any symptomatic kidney
stone relief, while calcium stones would call for a decreased calcium
intake.
The actual causes that lead to such an excessive build up of these
minerals or chemicals that then crystallize to form kidney stones could
be attributed to various factors, mainly dietary, but also hereditary
and due to various other factors.
Home remedy for kidney stones
Kidney Stones treatment using Kidney Beans
Kidney beans, also known as dried French beans or Rajmah, are
regarded as a very effective home remedy for kidney problems, including
kidney stones. The method prescribed to prepare the medicine is to
remove the beans from inside the pods, then slice the pods and put about
sixty grams in four litre of hot water, boiling them slowly for six
hours. This liquid should be strained through fine muslin and then
allowed to cool for about eight hours. Thereafter the fluid should be
poured through another piece of muslin without stirring.A glass of this
decoction should be given to the patient every two hours throughout the
day for one day and, thereafter, it may be taken several times a week.
This decoction would not work if it was more than twenty-four hours old.
The pods could be kept for longer periods but once they were boiled,
the therapeutic factor would disappear after one day.
Kidney Stones treatment using Basil
Basil has a strengthening effect on the kidneys.In case of kidney
stones, one teaspoon each of basil juice and honey should be taken daily
for six months. It has been found that stones can be expelled from the
urinary tract by this treatment.
Kidney Stones treatment using Celery
Celery is a valuable food for those who are prone to getting
stones in the kidneys or gall-bladder. Its regular intake prevents
future stone formation.
Kidney Stones treatment using Apple
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.
Kidney Stones treatment using Grapes
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.
Kidney Stones treatment using Pomegranate
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.
Kidney Stones treatment using Watermelon
Watermelon contains the highest concentration of water amongst all
fruits. It is also rich in potassium salts. It is one of the safest and
best diuretics which can be used with beneficial result in kidney
stones.
Kidney Stones treatment using Vitamin B 6
Research has shown the remarkable therapeutic success of vitamin
B6 or pyridoxine in the treatment of kidney Stones. A daily therapeutic
does of 100 to 150 mg of vitamin B6, preferably, combined with other B
complex vitamins, should be continued for several months for getting a
permanent cure.
Diet for kidney stones
Avoid foods like alcoholic beverages; condiments and pickles; certain vegetables like cucumber, radish.
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.
Intake of calcium and phosphates should be restricted
For controlling the formation of calcium phosphate stones, the
intake of calcium and phosphates should be restricted. Foods which
should be avoided are wholewheat flour, Chickpea, peas, soyabean, beet,
spinach, cauliflower, turnips, carrots, almonds, and coconuts.
When stones are composed of calcium, magnesium phosphates, and
carbonates, the diet should be so regulated as to maintain an acidic
urine. On the other hand, the urine should be kept alkaline if oxalate
and uric acid stones are being formed. In the latter case, fruits and
vegetables should be liberally used, and acid-forming foods should be
kept to the minimum necessary for satisfactory nutrition. In case of
uric stones, foods with a high purine content such as sweet breads,
liver, and kidney should be avoided.
Take a low-protein diet and have liberal intake of water
The patient should take a low-protein diet, restricting protein to
one gram per kilogram of food. A liberal intake of fluid upto three
litres or more daily is essential to prevent the precipitation of salt
into the form of stones.
Other Kidney Stones treatment
Give warm enemafollowed by a hot bath
The patient should be given a large warm enema, followed by a hot
bath with a temperature of 37.8oC, gradually increased to 44.5°C.
During the bath, the head should be wrapped in a cold towel. Hot
fomentation applied across the back in the region of the kidneys will
relieve the pain.
Yogasanas are also helpful
Certain yogasanas such as pavanmuktasana, uttanpadasana,
bhujangasana, dhanurasana, and halasana are also beneficial as they
activate the kidneys.
