Remedies

• 1

  Drink plenty of water. Those suffering from kidney stones should drink anywhere from 80-120 fluid ounces of water per day as this will ease in the passing of the stone through the narrow tubes of the bladder. Increased water consumption will also help to alleviate in the dehydration that most likely caused the formation of the stones.

• 2

  Drink a combination of lemon juice and olive oil. Mix two ounces of lemon juice with two ounce of olive oil and consume the beverage. This combination eliminates the calcium buildup in the body, the main cause of kidney stones. If mixed correctly, stones should begin to dissipate within 12-14 hours.

• 3

  Avoid drinking caffeine. Caffeine dehydrates the body and makes you more prone to developing kidney stones.
