Home Remedies For Treating Kidney Stones

The kidneys function to filter the body's blood supply. In doing so, they remove harmful particles and extra water. Every day, some two-hundred quarts of blood are processed and filtered, creating an average of one to two quarts of urine. Urine occasionally contains more crystal-forming substances than can be diluted, leading to the painful condition known as kidney stones. To exit the kidneys, these stones must be broken down or passed through the urinary tract. While the condition may be extremely painful and even long-lasting, natural remedies may accelerate the body's removal of this calcified material. These remedies are effective for kidney stone elimination and if taken continuously, help prevent future occurrence. It is always important to consult a qualified medical professional before use of any natural remedy.

Apple cider vinegar is hailed in the natural health community as a kind of panacea. According to research, it may be used for everything from skin problems and digestive issues to destroying cancerous cells. It is made through the fermentation of apples, causing it to contain strands of the 'mother.' These beneficial bacteria and enzymes are thought to be the source of its powerful health benefits. Due to its acidic nature, it is a powerful tool in the treatment of kidney stones. Apple cider vinegar contains citric, acetic and phosphoric acids which assist in the breakdown of stones in the kidneys. While it is acidic, it also promotes alkalization of the body, assisting in the maintenance of proper pH levels and hydrochloric acid production. Efficient production of HCl inhibits the formation of new kidney stones, helping to ward off any future complications. Apple cider vinegar may be taken several times daily to assist in stone removal.
