Naturally Reduce Kidney Stones

I was recently diagnosed with kidney stones. I did a lot of research to find ways to naturally reduce my kidney stones, and to help them pass easily. I am forwarding this information to you because it has been a great help to me.








Instructions


1. Vitamin A helps to protect the lining of the urinary tract and a lack of Vitamin A can lead to stone formation so make sure and take the daily recommended allowances for this vitamin.


2. Drink at least 64 ounces of distilled water daily. This helps to keep the kidneys clear and functioning at their fullest potential.


3. Watermelon is a great source of additional water, eat it alone and often, but never with a meal.


4. Use the seeds of the watermelon to make tea, steep in hot water for 15 minutes strain, add honey, and drink.


5. More acidity in your urine helps to break down the stones, so drink cranberry juice as this increases acidity.


6. Stop eating meat! Meat based proteins are often to blame for kidney stone production.


7. Take licorice extracts as this reduces the swelling of the ureters, which in turn allows the stone to pass easier.
