Kidney stones are really painful and can appear at any time. Made up of mineral salts and acid that accumulate in the urinary tract when it is no longer possible to carry out the correct elimination of toxins, kidney stones can nevertheless disappear with several home remedies and herbal diuretics.
Some details on kidney stones
Kidney stones can also occur because of excessively concentrated urine : the minerals that constitute it crystallize and then accumulate in the form of small “stones”. This process is very painful, especially when it comes time to expel the stones through the urinary tract.
According to some studies, men suffer more from kidney stones than women, especially if they are between the ages of 20 and 40. There is also a very strong connection between these patients and those who suffer from gout.
Although the best way to prevent stone formation is to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day, some patients are more likely than others to have it and will therefore need additional treatment.
To reduce the risk of kidney stone formation, it is best to curb your consumption of chocolate, coffee , sodas , nuts, spinach, strawberries, tea, beets and bran . It is also recommended that you reduce your protein, sodium and sugar intake to improve your condition.
