Treat kidney stones naturally

Couple of weeks before, I got a sharp pain in the left lower abdomen. Later realized that, it could be a kidney stone. So searched in Google about it. It seems most of the person could get a kidney stone.

What kidney does ?

Kidney purifies the blood and removes wastes from the body. In other words, it removes excess vitamins and minerals that our body could not absorb. It also does several other functions.
 

What are kidney stones ?

Most of the kidney stones are calcium oxalate stones. Persons who are deficient in Vitamin A and Vitamin K are likely to get kidney stones and excessive Vitamin C, D will also lead to the stone formation. So we need a balance of these 4 vitamins.

A typical kidney stone

To make it simple, these are real life scenarios to prevent kidney stones...

 

Take more water, urine should not look yellow

People who take less water will have risk of getting kidney stone. Kidney does the purification through water. If water is less, kidney is concentrated and thus calcium will be formed because of high concentration of waste fluid. If kidney has more water, calcium gets dissolve in it and runs out as urine. In fact, brain sense the thirst through kidney.
 

Drink a cup of milk everyday

Milk is a rich source of calcium. So how it will help to prevent kidney stone ? Milk also has vitamin A and vitamin K. These 2 vitamins helps the bone to absorb calcium from blood. So calcium content in blood will get reduced. Thus preventing stones.
 
Found some recipes that could treat kidney stone in natural way.

The Banana Stem

A nearby vegetable merchant told, he never sell banana stem as he went to a loss, people not buying it. I realized most of the people don't know the medicinal benefits of banana stem.

Banana stem juice is an excellent remedy for people suffering from kidney stone.

  1. This is a blessing medicinal formula is must say. We stayed in Chennai for 6 years and came to know the beauty of this banana stem juice and we recommended this to people whoever suffered from the kidney stone pain and were planning to go for operation. Just two times consumption, say once in morning and once at night for only one day, and the kidney stone was gone.
