Some of the very best kidney stone home remedies can be effective based on the type of calcium oxalate buildup you have in your kidneys. Even then, it may not provide enough "umph" to disintegrate the calcium. Most are desperate for pain relief and even for solid answers of why they may have blood in their urine and why they can't sleep. That's where these remedies come into the natural home remedy arena.
Pumpkin Seed Remedy: Really? What do pumpkin seeds have to offer? I'm not quite convinced that the pumpkin seed remedy will actually provide enough toxins to help dissolve the kidney stone. It may help as a fiber soluble part of the remedy.
Watermelon Home Treatment: We all know that staying hydrated helps the kidneys to keep all the waste built up in a current broken down state. But a watermelon diet is just as good as providing 8 glasses of water theory in check. Keep your body hydrated but the watermelon remedy may be over rated.
Lemon Juice and Olive Oil: Lemon juice is an excellent component of a home remedy to use. It has the acids needed to help break down the calcium oxalate, and you'd think the olive oil would help flush the kidney stone. The olive oil actually coats the stone creating a barrier for the lemon juice to break it down. It may also help coat the kidney stone to make it easier to pass. But let's be honest, olive oil cannot coat the stone long enough through the urethra. Then the lemon juice in your system with it? Really? That would just add to the sting and the painful urination.
I've also seen remedies for cranberries. This concept is the same as the lemon juice. All very plausible methods but they aren't as effective as some of the junk food combinations out there that do both, break down the kidney stone and flush the kidney stone. It's one thing to break down the calcium build up but it's another to be able to flush it out effectively.
