Natural Treatment Kidney Pain


A kidney stone is a hard, crystalline mineral material formed within the kidney or urinary tract. Kidney stones are a common cause of blood in the urine (hematuria) and often severe pain in the abdomen, flank, or groin. Kidney stones are sometimes called renal calculi.

The condition of having kidney stones is termed nephrolithiasis. Having stones at any location in the urinary tract is referred to as urolithiasis, and the term ureterolithiasis is used to refer to stones located in the ureters.

Natural Treatment for Kidney Stones

Small stones that aren't causing symptoms, obstruction, or an infection usually don't need to be treated. Drinking plenty of fluids increases urine production and helps wash out some stones; once a stone is passed, no other immediate treatment is needed. The pain of renal colic may be relieved with narcotic analgesics.

Eat a whole foods diet that contains leafy green vegetables, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and fish and poultry in small portions. Include foods that have a high ratio of magnesium to calcium such as brown rice, bananas, oats, barley, and soy, and that are high in fiber such as oat bran, psyllium seed husk, and flaxseed meal.

Avoid sugar (check ingredients for hidden sources of sugar), alcohol, antacids, excessive protein, dairy products (especially milk), salt, carbonated beverages, caffeine, and refined white flour products such as pasta, white bread, and baked goods.

Drinking lots of water (two and a half to three litres per day) and staying physically active are often enough to move a stone out of the body. However, if there is infection, blockage, or a risk of kidney damage, a stone should always be removed.

Vitamins- We always recommends a high quality multivitamin but we also recommend some vitamins often forgotten. You should find a complete B complex vitamin which has been shown to help keep calcium levels down. Vitamin B deficiency is common in kidney stones sufferers.

Calcium- Though most kidney stones are calcium! Ironically, low calcium levels in your body can lead to calcium-based kidney stones, so be sure you are receiving an adequate calcium source in your diet.

Natural Acids- Citric acid has been shown to dissolve hard materials, even kidney stones. A common citrus fruit that you can buy year round are lemons. You can eat them raw or add them to your distilled water for a simple cure.

High fluid intake- You should be drinking healthy fluids. Fruit and vegetable juices such as carrot, grape, and orange juices contain high levels of citrates. Citrates reduce the build up of uric acid and help eliminate the formation of calcium salts- both of which, if left unchecked, can lead to kidney stones.

Drink a soft drink! What? If you drink at least 10 tall glasses of water per day and then accompany it with a soft drink, you can actually prevent the formation of kidney stones. A recent study has proven that phosphoric acid (in soft drinks) could dissolve and pass kidney stones in less than one day.

Citrates- Citrates reduce the build up of uric acid and eliminate the build-up of calcium salts which cause the formation of kidney stones. To get an adequate amount of citrates, drink plenty of fruit and vegetable juices such as carrot, grape and orange juices.
