Home Remedies for Kidney Stones.
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 to
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 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. 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.
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. 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 and an excessive intake of vitamin D may also lead to formation of stones.
Kidney Treatment with Thyme
Thyme is a good astringent so it will work to clean the kidneys and bladder. Pour 1 cup boiling water over 1
teaspoon of thyme. Let sit for 15 minutes. Strain and sweeten with honey. Drink 1 cup a day for 1 week..
Kidney Treatment with Cucumber
Cucumbers are among the best of treatments for kidney or bladder problems. Drinking cucumber juice alone or
added to other vegetable juices is an excellent way to treat and correct kidney problems. Adding cucumber juice
to carrot juice is a great remedy to prepare when there is an excess retention of uric acid in the system.
Cucumbers are also used to correct high or low blood pressure because of their high potassium content.
