Cleansing the body with water

Our body is made up of 60% water so it’s not secret that it’s important to keep hydrated but this couldn’t be more true when it comes to dealing with kidney issues. Cleansing the body of toxins is an important step in Unani and water is the best method for detoxification to help flush out the kidneys and prevent further toxins spreading to other parts of the body.


Lemon Juice with Olive Oil

Drinking a mixture of lemon and oil may also be an effective treatment for those looking to breakdown kidney stones and help them pass more easily. The acidic lemon juice is important as it can really help to soften and break down the stones while the oil then helps to lubricate any debris that is left so that it causes less pain as it is passed through the body. Honey may also be added to make the liquid more palatable.


Coconut water

Packed full of nutrients, coconut water has been found to be an effective way of hydrating the body and breaking down kidney stones too preventing the need for surgical intervention. Consumption of this liquid can help to flush stones and other toxins out of the body and it has even been found to removed the burning sensation from when they are passed too.


Okra

Okra’s high magnesium content, nutrient density and anti-inflammatory properties make okra a popular ayurvedic treatment for kidney stones. When consumed okra can be effective at helping to prevent the crystallization of chemicals in the kidneys as well as helping to maintain overall health.


Tulasi (basil)

Unani sees the use of certain plants and herbs as an essential part of the homeopathic healing process. One herb that’s been found to be particularly beneficial when it comes to dealing with kidney stones is Tulasi, or basil. Taking tulasi in its pure form with liquid such as hot water to make a tea or blended in a juice has been found to restore balance in the kidney, helping the body to breakdown and pass kidney stones naturally.


There are also a lot of less commonly known herbs that are used as treatments in Ayurveda.
