There are several home remedies that have been tried and tested over the years to help cure kidney stones. I have managed to collaborate a few home treatments for your benefit. However, lets just make it clear right at the beginning that I do not recommend these as any kind of treatments to be followed by you independently, without the advice of a certified doctor or practitioner. Your doctor may recommend any, or all of the following as side treatments, which you may carry along with the main medical treatment being given to relieve you of kidney stones.

Kidney Beans- Kidney beans, also known as dried French beans are a valuable home remedy for kidney stones. The medicine is to be prepared as follows- remove the beans from inside the pods, then slice the pods and put about sixty grams in four liters of hot water, boiling them slowly for six hours. This liquid should be strained through fine muslin and then allowed to cool for about eight hours. Thereafter the fluid should be poured through another piece of muslin without stirring. A glass of this decoction should be given to the patient every two hours throughout the day for one day and, thereafter, it may be taken several times a week. This decoction would not work if it was more than twenty-four hours old. The pods could be kept for longer periods but once they were boiled, the therapeutic factor would disappear after one day.

Basil- Basil works to strengthen kidney stones. For Kidney stones, basil is highly recommended. One teaspoon of basil juice along with a teaspoon of honey must be taken daily. This facilitates the expulsion of stones from the urinary tract.
