Kidney stones form when there are excessive concentrations of substances like calcium and oxalate which combine into crystals in the kidneys. These substances normally float freely in the kidney fluids, however if there is an overload of inorganic mineral waste and insufficient fluid, sharp-edged stones are formed, which makes them very painful to pass.

Pain can be relieved temporarily by using painkillers. To flush the stone out drink at-least 3 quarts of water a day till urine is colorless and increase water intake when it is hot outside. When you urinate use a strainer to trap the stone. Then show it to your physician to trace the cause and provide appropriate treatment. The passage of stone can be speeded by walking.

Herbal Medicine

Herbal medicines usually do not have side effects when used appropriately and at suggested doses. Occasionally, an herb at the prescribed dose causes stomach upset or headache. This may reflect the purity of the preparation or added ingredients, such as synthetic binders or fillers. For this reason, it is recommended that only high-quality products be used. As with all medications, overdosing can lead to serious illness and death. These herbs are sometimes used to ease the discomfort associated with stone passage: Bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi)–Acts as a diuretic and antiseptic for the urinary tract.Cleavers (Galium aparine)–Has a history of use in treatment of congestive kidney disorders, stones, and urinary infections.Corn silk (Zea mays)–A soothing demulcent with mild diuretic properties. Crampbark (Viburnum opulus)–Relaxes smooth muscle and is an antispasmodic.Gravel root (Eupatorium purpureum)–Named for its traditional use as a treatment for stones and gravel of the kidneys.

Kidney stones are mineral deposits made up of calcium, uric acid or the amino acid cysteine. There are numerous theories as to how these “stones” form, but no one knows for sure how it happens. Medical experts agree, however, that diet is certainly a factor.

For instance, kidney stones develop in vegetarians and other people who eat plenty of fresh vegetables only about half as often as in those whose diet does not include these important foods. Obesity and repeated kidney infections are also risk factors. Even after an infection has passed, a small amount of debris remains in the kidneys—medical researchers suspect that the stones form around this debris. You are also at greater risk of developing this problem if there is a history of kidney stones in your family.

Signs and Symptoms of Kidney Stones

Individuals who have kidney stones feel intense pain when the kidney stone tries to go down the ureter. The ensuing pain starts on the side and spreads to the groin and upper legs.Abnormalities in general metabolism may cause the development of kidney stones like when the concentration of the urine becomes high due lack of fluids profuse sweating made worse by an unhealthy lifestyle. Too much eating of acid-forming foods such as sugar products and white flour, meat, tea, coffee, condiments, spices, and just plain over-eating are to be blamed for the formation of the kidney stones as well as the lack of Vitamin A and too much Vitamin D.
