Calcium, oxalate, and uric acid deposits in impure blood in the kidneys are responsible for the formation of stones. There are no symptoms while the stones are in the kidney, but when they move to urethra and bladder they can cause intense pain, especially if the stones are big and they block the urethra. The most popular and effective way to remove kidney stones naturally is to wash them out by increasing the water intake.


However this does not work when the stones are big and other methods have to be used to dissolve the stones or break them down into a smaller size so that they can be passed out. Phosphoric acid helps to break the stones, by dissolving the crystals and killing the pain-causing bacteria.

Apart from this, you can prepare a special tea which helps dissolving the stones.


Chinese tea prepared with sarsaparilla, plaintain Joe-pye weed, and meadowsweet, and is very effective in curing kidney stones. You can also make a tea using herbs such as cramp bark, hydrangea root, corn silk, yarrow leaf, plantain leaf and wild yam root. To prepare this tea, simply boil 1 ¼ cup of water and then add the herbs, cover and leave the bowl aside for 15 minutes. Strain and cool and drink this tea 3 to 4 times a day for best results. A diuretic tea made with corn silk, nettle leaf, dandelion, fennel seed, and oat straw in the same manner is very beneficial if had twice a day. The Native Indians used another herb known as goldenrod to cure kidney stones. To prepare this, first soak the roots of hydrangea, gravel, and marshmallow along with ginger capsules. Add to this about 200mg of vitamin B6 and uva ursi in the capsule form separately in cold water. Next boil all the ingredients and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes and then cool and refrigerate the mixture. Similarly, boil and strain 4 bunches of fresh parsley in ¼ litre of water and freeze this as well. You should mix both these mixtures daily with about twenty goldenrod tincture drops and 1 tbsp of glycerine and drink 1 mug a day. This will help to dissolve the kidney stones gradually.
