Kidney Stones – Effective Home Treatment For Pain Relief

Although is a common problem, kidney stone pain can be one of the most painful of all health ailments. It is caused by an accumulation of chemicals and minerals in the bloodstream that clump together before being eliminated from the body. The tender tissues that comprise the kidneys and the tubes that carry urine can be blocked by these painful, jagged stones.

So what is the best way to deal with these waste products that your body has trouble releasing?

Preventing Kidney Stones

Of course, the best way to deal with pain is to not have it in the first place. This is a condition that can be largely prevented through dietary choices. Most of the stones are made of calcium oxalate which is a byproduct of consuming refined carbohydrates, namely sugar, and animal fats. Consumption of concentrated amounts of these foods over time can cause this byproduct to build up in the bloodstream and eventually end up in the kidneys.

* Eliminate all junk food – fast food, sodas, anything with high fructose corn syrup, fatty processed meats, alcohol, caffeine and chocolate

* Include foods rich in vitamin A – alfalfa, cantaloupe, carrots, pumpkin, sweet potatoes

* Boost with supplements – Vitamin B complex and calcium reduce oxalate in blood

* Increase water consumption – one of the most beneficial things you can do to prevent concentrations of the minerals that form stones

Eliminating Kidney Stones

The American diet is a total trap for this condition, so if you have been consuming Big Macs with Supersized Cokes for the last twenty years, you are a prime candidate for kidney stones. If it is too late to reverse years of unhealthy eating habits, and you are now in the unfortunate position of having to pass these nasty things, there are a few things you can do to help your body release these painful stones and to make yourself more comfortable in the process.

To eliminate stones naturally, drink the following once per day until stones clear:

* 1/3 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
* 1/3 cup Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
* 1/3 cup Unsweetened Cranberry Juice
* 1 Tablespoon Honey (optional)
* 1 quart water

Supplement:

* Aloe Vera juice – use as directed on label to reduce size of stone during an acute attack

* Lobelia tincture (3 drops) and Wild yam tincture (15 drops) in a glass of warm water helps to relax the ureters, move stones and relieve pain.

* Uva Ursi – 500mg 3x per day to relieve pain and bloating and helps fight infection

* Fermented Cod Liver Oil – an excellent source of vitamins A and D to help properly absorb calcium and repair tissue

* Bulk Up – increase your fiber intake to help clear calcium and oxalate in the urine.
