This last set of tips will go over some
herbal remedies and supplements
that have been useful in relieving
kidney stones.
Magnesium Citrate
Studies have shown that low magnesium intake can mean
high risk for kidney stones. Taking magnesium supplements
may not only prevent stones from forming, but it can
decrease the size of an existing stone. A good dose is 500
mg daily.
Vitamin B-6
Researchers have found that a vitamin B-6 deficiency tends
to increase urinary oxalate, which may then lead to kidney
stones. A good dose is 25 mg per day.
Vitamin A
Foods rich in vitamin A have been known to treat and
prevent kidney stones. Some of these foods include:
• Apricots

• Cantaloupe
• Pumpkins
• Squash

them at any herbal store.

has mild diuretic properties. You can get corn-silk at your
local herb store to increase urine flow and heal your
kidneys.

works as an antispasmodic. This really helps with the pain
