Kidney stones, aka nephrolithiasis or renal stones, are a very common medical condition that needs to be addressed before it causes severe kidney damage. In the Western Medicine, renal stones the disease is well-thought-out as a case for inferential treatment (surgery, laser, etc.) However, natural and especially homeopathic remedies can break down and melt kidney stones, prevent the building of new stones, or force them to leave your body through the urinary tract without medical intervention. In reality, homeopathic and other natural remedies have revealed the most notable outcomes in healing the persistent predisposition on the way to the development of nephrolithiasis. The most common homeopathic remedies for kidney stones are Lycopodium, Hydrangea, Berberis, Cantharis, and Sarsaparilla.

Different patients with “similar” kidney stone disease from a western point of view would be treated using different homeopathic remedies according to what we call in homeopathy “CONSTITUTION.” Even the side on which kidney stones develop makes a difference for the correct medicine.

Below you can find a very short and simple example of choosing homeopathic medicines for Renal Stones syndrome. This is not the homeopathic medicine manual, so, please don’t use it as a direction for self-treatment

If Nephrolithiasis developed in the left kidney, most likely the right remedies will be either Berberis or Hedeoma

When homeopathic remedies are used for kidney stones the potency of the homeopathic medicines is very important. The major rule about the potency is:

The urinary tract consists of kidneys, urethra, and bladder. Kidneys are very important organs that screen, filter, and clean blood, eliminating waste, toxins, and excess fluids from the system. The fluid that passes kidneys’ filtration is referred to as urine. Created in kidneys, urine flows down through ureters and is then collected in a bladder. The hard pieces of minerals developed in kidneys or bladders are known as nephrolithiasis.

There are principally five kinds of stones, including

The risk factors for renal stone development are:

Stones develop when the amount of crystal-forming ingredients in urine, such as calcium, phosphates, uric acid, and/or oxalates, increases.

Tiny kidney stones may not cause any pain and may stay in kidneys showing no symptoms whatsoever. In those cases, nephrolithiasis typically gets accidentally discovered by ultrasound or other studies done for a different purpose. However, large stones usually lead to severe pain, which often requires narcotics even for temporary relief. Small stones may also cause acute, sharp pain when they are passing through the urinary system, injuring the internal layer of the bladder or urethra.

The most common tests confirming kidney stones are:

Due to the permanent urine flow block, there are probabilities of the development of chronic kidney illnesses. 

The medical term renal colic refers to severe pain caused by kidney stones. This pain is usually localized in the mid-back or flank area, as well as in the lower stomach area.

Homeopathic remedies are effective for nephrolithiasis,especially if stones are small and don’t lead to urine retention or significant hydronephrosis.

Yes, homeopathic remedies used to melt down renal stones as long as they are small and consist of phosphates and/or oxalates.

Stones of size up to 9mm usually may dissolve when using the proper homeopathic medicines. For the larger size of kidney stones, homeopathic medicine is also one of the best choices for natural treatments in combination with regular western treatment from a urologist.

Yes, a high concentration of uric acid in the blood is one of the most common reasons for kidney stone disease.

Yes, holistic medicine in general and homeopathy and acupuncture in particular help to reduce pain during renal colic and to push small stones out. But remember that the renal colic that causes urine retention requires surgical intervention.
