  If your doctor has diagnosed kidney stones, you will be told that either you are a candidate for surgery to remove the stones or you will be sent home to pass them on your own. If you are told to go home to pass the kidney stones on your own, this recipe should be of great help to you. Mix equal parts extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice. 6 Tbs or so of each should be sufficient.

  Drink the oil and lemon juice concoction. The acidic nature of the lemon juice will help to break up the crystals and the olive oil will help to lubricate and help to make the passing of the stones a little bit easier.

  Follow this by drinking water. Be prepared to drink 2-3 quarts of water per day to pass kidney stones. Your body must produce lots of urine to flush out your system of the kidney stones.
