How to prevent Kidney stones - #19821
Majid Ali
I've been struggling with kidney stones composed of oxalate and calcium since 2016. While homeopathic treatment has provided temporary relief by dissolving the stones, the problem persists and the stones recur every few months.

Namaste,
Recurrent kidney stones, especially those composed of calcium oxalate, suggest an imbalance in the Vata and Pitta doshas. Excess Pitta leads to crystal formation, while aggravated Vata contributes to dryness and hardness of stones. Recurrence indicates weak digestion, improper metabolism, and accumulation of toxins (Ama).
Avoid oxalate-rich foods like spinach, beetroot, tomatoes, and nuts.
Reduce dairy and calcium supplements.
Favor cooked vegetables, barley, wheat, and rice.
Include alkaline foods like cucumber, ash gourd, and coconut water.
Drink plenty of warm water with a few drops of lemon juice to flush the kidneys.
Consume Kulathi (Horse Gram) soup regularly. It is a traditional Ayurvedic remedy that helps break down stones and prevents recurrence.
Never suppress the urge to urinate.
Practice gentle yoga and pranayama, like Bhujangasana and Pawanmuktasana for kidney support.
Manage stress through meditation and breathing exercises.
Ensure 7-8 hours of sleep and follow a consistent routine.
Additional Remedies
Drink Coriander water (soaked overnight) in the morning for kidney cleansing.
Barley water is beneficial for preventing stone formation.
Prepare a simple Kulathi soup with spices like cumin, turmeric, and black pepper for regular consumption.
For further guidance, consult an Ayurvedic Vaidya with all the reports

Hi,
Can you tell me if you experience any pain or discomfort while urinating, or if there are any changes in the color or smell of your urine? Also, how is your diet—particularly your intake of foods high in oxalates like spinach, nuts, or chocolate?
In Ayurveda, kidney stones can be treated with herbs like Punarnava, Gokshura, and Varunadi Vati, but it's important to address dietary habits and lifestyle changes to prevent recurrence.

Kidney stones can be quite a hassle, aren't they? In Ayurveda, we often look at kidney stones as a vata and pitta imbalance, whereas excess pita may transforms body fluids and can leads to stones formation. Since you mentioned oxalate and calcium stones, tweaking your diet and lifestyle can really help in breaking this cycle.
First things first, stay hydrated! Drinking plenty of water throughout the day dilutes the substances in urine that lead to stones. Try to get around 2.5 to 3 liters daily – it sounds like a lot, but it works wonders. And if plain water bores you, perhaps try herbal teas like barberry or nettle, they balances doshas and helps kidneys flush out toxins.
Watch your calcium intake too, but don’t cut it out entirely – balance between doesn’t consume too much or too little. Include good sources like sesame seeds, almonds; keeping it natural helps to maintain loking at absorbtion. Still, avoid high-oxalate foods such as spinach, beets, or nuts whenever it's possible, or have them in moderate amounts. The goal is balance, right?
And speaking of balance, let’s chat about your diet. You might want to reduce your intake of animal protein found in red meat, eggs which tends to increase the stone risk. Instead, try plant-based diets, such as lentils or chickpeas to keep protein levels up without thhe excess threat of stones.
There’s an amazing herbal remedy in Ayurveda called Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris). It’s known for supporting kidney health and enhancing urinary functions. Try taking it under the guidance of an Ayurvedic practitioner since doses can vary a lot.
Adding a dash of lemon to your water helps too. Citric acid binds to calcium, preventing stone formation. Also, don’t forget about keeping your stress levels in check – meditation, yoga or even simple daily walks helps in maintaining a cool mind and a healthy body.
But most importantly, make sure to have regular checkups and stay in touch with your healthcare provider to ensure your kidneys are being as healthy as they possibly can be. Remember, consistent efforts pays off in the long run!
