Lemons
By Dr. Edward F. Group

The kidneys are one of the most important
organs in the human body. The kidneys help to detox and filter impurities from
the blood, as well as waste products from your urine. Kidney stones form when
the kidneys are not able to process toxins efficiently.
Specifically, a crystallization of unprocessed
minerals builds up. Kidney stones cause pain and possible blockage of urine
flow.
The following are some simple natural remedies
that may help soothe the discomfort of kidney stones and speed up the body’s
natural healing process.
1. Lemon Juice, Olive Oil, and Raw Apple Cider
Vinegar
This is one of my favorites and easily one of
the most effective remedies for kidney stones and the pain they cause. At the
first symptom of stone pain, mix 2 oz of organic olive oil with 2 oz of organic
lemon juice.
Drink it straight and follow with a 12 ounce
glass of purified water. Wait 30 minutes.
Then, squeeze the juice of 1/2 lemon into 12
ounces of purified water, add 1 tablespoon of organic raw apple cider vinegar
and drink. Repeat the lemon juice, water and apple cider vinegar recipe every
hour until symptoms improve.
2. Uva Ursi
Uva Ursi is a common folk remedy for kidney
stones. Not only will it help fight off infection in the kidneys, but it may
also help reduce pain and cleanse the urinary tract. 500mg three times a day is
recommended for kidney stones.
3. Dandelion Root
Organic dandelion root is a great kidney tonic
and cleanser. Taking up to 500 mg twice a day may be beneficial.
4. Kidney Beans
The shape of this bean may be indicative of its
healing potential.
Effective urinary home remedies for kidney
stones- traditionally the pods were used as a medicinal tonic.
Try removing the beans from inside the pods,
and then boil the pods in purified hot water for six hours. This liquid can be
strained through cheese cloth, cooled and taken throughout the day for
one day to ease kidney stone pain.
5. Horsetail
Horsetail tea is an effective natural remedy
for kidney stones.
Drink up to 3-4 cups of horsetail tea daily or
2 grams of the herb in capsule form daily.
6. Pomegranate Juice
We’ve all heard that pomegranates have many
health benefits.
But, more specifically, the seeds and
juice of pomegranates can be considered another natural remedy for kidney
stones. This may be related to their sourness and astringent properties.
I prefer eating organic pomegranates and
drinking freshly-squeezed pomegranate juice.
7. Magnesium
Studies show that people with recurrent kidney
stones who took magnesium supplements had a 92.3 percent improvement rate in
reduction of kidney stones.
8. Organic Celery
Celery in vegetable form and celery seed are
great urine-promoters and kidney tonics.
Regular use of celery seed, as a spice or
as a tea, may prevent kidney stone formation.
9. Basil
A kidney tonifier, basil tea can be taken
throughout the day for overall kidney health.
If you have kidney stones, try taking one
teaspoon each of basil juice with raw honey daily for up to six months. It’s
believed that folk remedies with pure basil juice can help induce stone
expulsion from the urinary tract.
10. Change in Diet
Unhealthy food intake is a primary cause of
kidney stones.
Cut down on the amount of soda and energy
drinks you consume.
Avoid processed foods and alcoholic beverages.
Add more fruits and veggies to your diet, especially those listed above.
I also recommend reading the book “The Green
Body Cleanse” to learn how to avoid kidney stone forming foods and beverages.
The remedies listed above are not intended to
replace medical care.
If you’re experiencing a lot of pain from
kidney stones, see your doctor immediately.
For optimal health, I recommend performing a
colon cleanse, liver and gallbladder cleanse, chemical and heavy metal cleanse
and even a harmful organism cleanse at least 1-2 times a year.
