Several Natural Remedies To Help You With Kidney Stones

1. Magnesium – Many Americans, and people from all over the world, are deficient in this beneficial nutrient. Calcium supplementation is advertised by the health industry to support strong bones and combat osteoporosis at a later age, but calcium should be balanced by proper magnesium supplementation too because it is needed for every bodily function. Studies have shown that magnesium can reduce kidney stones for around 92 percent.
2. Dandelion Root – It is highly possible to pull a dandelion root out of the ground (easier when you soak the ground), clean it of the dirt and make tea. Most people, like myself, would prefer to simply buy some dried organic dandelion root which is available at health stores as a tea, capsule or even extract. This root works to cleanse the kidneys and the whole body.
3. Pomegranate juice – While pomegranates are extremely delicious, the juice is sour and has astringent qualities that will support healthy kidneys. This juice you can use to make a healthy smoothie which will help break down kidney stones. Organic juice is always the best choice.
4. Basil – Basil is a popular and healthy ingredient in many recipes, and the herb is another plant that is highly beneficial in preventing and reducing kidney stones. Basil also can be made into a tea that is a great kidney toner. Also a teaspoon of basil juice with raw honey is an effective treatment that will help you clear up kidney stones.
5. Roller Coaster – Can you believe this – riding a roller coaster is an exciting experience and beside that the jolts and vibrations of a roller coaster ride can also cause a kidney stone to pass or break. This does not often happen, but studies show stones can be jostled into position that will help them pass. Anyone who is in pain from kidney stones may be willing to try anything; even a scary roller coaster ride perhaps.

The modern medical technology is wonderful and beneficial in many different ways, but sadly the medical community does not necessarily think in ways of natural treatments. Many health issues like kidney stones can be avoided or treated effectively just by eating a healthy diet and supplementing with nutrients that are definitely lacking in the standard American diet. Many prescription drugs are derived from plants that are found in nature, and many other plants should be used in their natural state. It is always important to check with a doctor before choosing to begin using any alternate treatment for your health problem.
