Dealing with frequent kidney stones can be a challenging and painful experience, but Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to help manage and potentially reduce their recurrence. Kidney stones are often attributed to an imbalance in the Kapha and Pitta doshas, leading to the formation of stones due to increased acidity or dehydration in the body. To address this issue, it's essential to focus on dietary modifications, hydration, and specific herbal treatments.

Start by increasing your water intake significantly to help flush out toxins and prevent the concentration of minerals that can lead to stone formation. Aim to drink at least 2-3 liters of water daily. You may also benefit from consuming barley water or coconut water, which are both excellent for kidney health and hydration.

In your diet, emphasize foods that help alkalize the body, such as fresh fruits (especially citrus fruits like oranges and lemons), vegetables, and whole grains. Avoid high-oxalate foods, such as spinach, beets, and chocolate, which can contribute to stone formation. Reducing salt and animal protein intake is also advisable, as they can increase the risk of kidney stones.

In terms of herbal remedies, Chandraprabha Vati is traditionally used to support kidney health and may help in breaking down stones. Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris) is another beneficial herb known for its diuretic properties, helping to flush out stones and improve urinary health. Additionally, Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa) can support kidney function and promote overall health.

Practicing regular physical activity and incorporating relaxation techniques, such as yoga and meditation, can also be beneficial for overall well-being and may help reduce the frequency of stone formation. If you experience severe pain or other concerning symptoms, it is crucial to consult with a healthcare provider for appropriate evaluation and treatment options. Regular check-ups and lifestyle adjustments can significantly contribute to managing and potentially reducing the occurrence of kidney stones over time.

Alright, kidney stones can really be a stubborn issue, especially if they keep coming back! In Ayurveda, we usually look at the root cause, like imbalances in your doshas and how your agni, or digestive fire, is functioning. For recurrent kidney stones, it's often a result of a vitiation in Vata and Kapha doshas, possibly with accumulation of ama (toxins). 

First off, let's look at your diet. It’s important to keep things light and hydrating. I'd suggest reducing foods high in oxalates, like spinach and nuts. Instead, have more barley, moong dal, and express juice rich in alkalizing effects, like lemon water (just a spritz in warm water each morning can help). 

Boiled water infused with jeera (cumin seeds) can be sipped throughout the day—help keep your system flushed and detoxified. Plus, you know, a cup of coconut water daily is beneficial, not to mention quite refreshing!

Lifestyle matters too, stay active but don't overdo it, as stress can worsen Vata imbalance. Yoga asanas like the Baddha Konasana (Butterfly Pose) and Paschimottanasana (Seated Forward Bend) can help, a few minutes each morning might do wonders.

And about herbal remedies, Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris) is great. It can help break down stones and keep them from forming. It's often in tablet form, follow the dosage on the package or talk to a local practitioner for specifics.

Always, though, if you're feeling severe discomfort or pain, don’t hesitate to consult your regular doctor right away. They’ll be able to decide if something more immediate is needed. Keep up with plenty of water, de-tox your diet, balance those doshas, and over time, you should start noticing improvements. Keep me posted on how it goes, alright?
