Herbs to treat kidney stones


I have had two episodes of kidney stones, which were agonisingly painful. Is there any herb I can take to prevent them?

 

No there are no herbs. If you do not want to go through the agonizing pain crap again, avoid herbs. Herbs have some uses but they do diddly squat for kidney stones.


Some people do claim that drinking green or black tea may decrease risk of kidney stones, but this has never been proven clinically. There is nothing wrong in drinking tea and it is a good social beverage. However be warned certain stones are formed from oxalate and some teas contain a high amount of oxalate.
