Natural Management of Kidney Stones

Herbal Remedies, Nutritional Support & Newtons' Kidney Stone Mixture

Kidney stones are becoming increasingly common around the world, often linked to dietary imbalances, dehydration, and lifestyle factors. These painful mineral formations can obstruct urinary flow, cause severe pain, and lead to urinary tract complications. A natural, prevention-focused approach using herbs, nutrition, and hydration can significantly reduce stone formation and support kidney health.

Causes of Kidney Stones

• Dehydration or low fluid intake

• Diet high in animal protein, refined carbohydrates, and oxalates (spinach, chocolate, rhubarb)

• Chronic urinary tract infections

• High sodium and calcium intake without proper absorption

• Poor magnesium and vitamin B6 status

• High uric acid levels (especially in gout or purine-rich diets)

Symptoms of Kidney Stones

• Intense pain in the lower back or side (renal colic)

• Nausea, vomiting, fever (if infection is present)

• Painful urination, frequent urge to urinate

• Blood in urine or cloudy urine

• Sediment or gravel in urine

• Sometimes no symptoms until a stone moves

Nutritional Supplements for Kidney Support

Home Remedies & Lifestyle Tips

• Hydration: Drink at least 2–3 litres of clean water daily

• Avoid oxalate-rich foods if prone to calcium oxalate stones

• Increase magnesium-rich plant foods or juices (dandelion, alfalfa, parsley)

• Warm sitz baths and hot compresses over the kidney area can reduce pain

• Use of Stonebreaker (Chanca Piedra) tincture or capsules as part of a preventive protocol

• Practice bladder-emptying habits – always urinate when the urge is present

• Avoid alcohol – it depletes magnesium and B6, and increases uric acid

• Follow a predominantly plant-based diet to reduce uric acid and improve urinary alkalinity

Homeopathy for Kidney Stone Symptoms

• Berberis vulgaris – Pain radiates from kidney to bladder or thighs, worse from movement

• Cantharis – Burning urine, frequent urge, anxiety

• Sarsaparilla – Pain at the end of urination

• Ocimum canum – Right-sided stones, red or brick-dust sediment

• Lycopodium – Right kidney pain, bloating, gas

Always consult a professional homeopath for individualized guidance.
