Kidney stones are hard deposits that form in the kidneys. The stones have to travel through the urinary tract to exit the body. This is called passing a kidney stone and can be very painful.

What are kidney stones?
Kidney stones occur when minerals and salts, most commonly calcium oxalate, crystallize in the kidneys and create hard deposits. Although they form in the kidneys, kidney stones can affect any part of the urinary tract.
10 home remedies for kidney stones
Before taking any home remedies, it is a good idea to talk with a doctor, especially for people with pre-existing medical conditions or who are taking medications.
Many antibiotics, diuretics, blood pressure, cholesterol, and liver medications can interact negatively with herbal remedies.
1. Water
Drinking water is one of the easiest ways to prevent and treat kidney stones. Most health authorities recommend drinking 64 ounces (oz) or eight glasses of water per day.
Drinking 12 glasses per day may help ease the passage or slow the growth of deposits in the kidneys.
2. Lemon juice
Lemons contain citrate, a compound that helps break down calcium deposits and slow their growth. Two 5-oz glasses, the first on an empty stomach first thing in the morning and another a few hours before dinner, may help break down smaller stones. Buying pure extract or purchasing fresh lemons and squeezing them at home are the easiest ways to get undiluted lemon juice.
3. Apple cider vinegar
Apple cider vinegar again contains citric acid that may help dissolve calcium deposits. Two tablespoons of pure apple cider vinegar mixed with 8 oz of water may reduce the symptoms of kidney stones and prevent their development. This mixture can be drunk several times a day and may be most effective when consumed before meals.
4. Celery juice or seed
Celery contains antioxidants and compounds known to increase urine production. Adding celery seeds to meals on a regular basis may help reduce the likelihood of developing kidney stones. One or two celery stalks can also be blended with water to create celery juice. Celery juice can be consumed daily to help treat kidney stone symptoms.
5. Uva ursi
The disinfectant and solvent properties of the herb uva ursi may help cleanse the urinary tract and ease the passage of kidney stones. Some research indicates that 500 milligrams (mg) of pure, dried uva ursithree times daily may be beneficial for those with kidney stones.
6. Kidney bean broth
Kidney beans contain a lot of magnesium, a compound known to help reduce kidney stones and their symptoms. One way to get the benefits from the beans is to remove them from their pods then slowly boil the pods for approximately 5-6 hours. The resulting liquid can then be strained, ideally using a cheesecloth, and served warm or cooled.
7. Extra-virgin olive oil
Extra-virgin olive oil is a thick, rich oil that may help ease the passage of kidney stones by lubricating the urinary tract. A 5-oz glass first thing in the morning and late in the afternoon, ideally at the same time as other herbal or home remedies, may reduce pain and discomfort.
8. Pomegranate juice
The astringent and antioxidant properties of pomegranates are thought to reduce the chances of developing kidney stones and ease their passage. Pomegranate juice also contains compounds that lower the acidity of urine, making it harder for stones to form. Buying whole pomegranates and eating their seeds or juicing them is the easiest way to get these health benefits.
9. Dandelion extract, tea, or juice
Dandelions contain compounds that increase the production of bile and urine, helping to rid the body of waste. In a pill or capsule form, 500 mg of dried dandelion extract may help ease the symptoms of kidney stones or prevent their formation. In tea or juice form, 3 to 4 cups daily are recommended.
10. Lose weight
A healthy weight combined with a healthful diet rich in nutritious, fiber-filled foods, is considered essential to the prevention of kidney stones and for their treatment. Carbonated, caffeinated, and alcoholic drinks can all increase a person's risk of developing kidney stones. Also, foods high in sugar, salt, or fat are known to increase the risk of kidney deposits and to intensify symptoms.
