kidney stones are one of the most painful things you can imagine.
the surgery is painful and expensive.
i get them at least once a year, sometimes every 6 months.
this treatment has worked on my kidneystones for a couple of years now.
i follow the directions, and within 5 days, they're gone.
dried saw palmetto berries 1Tbs in a cloth tea bag per cup of boiling water, 2x a day. promotes urinary tract health.
note:Be cautious about taking saw palmetto if you have a bleeding disorder or are taking blood thinners (such as warfarin), and do not take it prior to surgery—it may increase bleeding.
Saw palmetto is used in the treatment of symptoms related to benign prostatic hyperplasia. The active component is found in the fruit of the American dwarf palm tree. Studies have shown effectiveness in reducing symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
"Saw palmetto is a palm found in the US. The dried ripe fruit of the pine is the most widely used phytotherapeutic agent for BPH worldwide." (Wilt TJ, Ishani A, Indulis R, MacDonal R. Phytotherapy for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Public Health Nutrition. 2000;3:459-472.) reported side effects are minor and rare
dried gravelroot. 1Tbs in a cloth teabag, per cup of boiling water. 3x a day.
Queen of the Meadow, also called Gravelroot, Kidneyroot, Purple Boneset and Joe Pye Weed (after the Native American herbalist Joe Pye), has an apple scent.
King's 1898 Dispensatory: 'Queen of the meadow has diuretic, subastringent, stimulant, tonic, and antilithic properties. It has a specific action upon the renal tract, increasing both the fluid and solid constituents of the urine. As its influence upon the stomach is good, it may be used for a great length of time without ill results.'
Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Queen of the Meadow (Gravelroot) is especially valuable as a diuretic and stimulant as well as an astringent tonic, and is considered a valuable remedy in dropsy, strangury, gravel, hematuria, gout and rheumatism, exerting a special influence upon chronic renal and cystic troubles.'
American Materia Medica, 1919 (Ellingwood): 'The agent is of service in dropsy, strangury, gravel, hematuria, disease of the kidneys and bladder from an excess of uric acid, in chronic endometritis, leucorrhea, chronic uterine disease, insufficient labor pains, threatened abortion, ovarian and uterine atony, dysmenorrhea, painful affections of the kidneys and bladder, much cutting pain and smarting in the urethra while urinating, constant desire to urinate, suppression of urine, either partial or complete, burning distress or dull aching in the bladder, urine mixed with mucus, pain in the kidneys. It has been frequently used in enormous distension of the limbs and body from dropsy. Also in intermittent fever, chills in the lumbar region, when there is violent shaking with little perspiration, severe bone pains, frontal headache, weak, tired feeling, paroxysms every other day, hectic fever with night sweats.'
as i said, if i follow this every day, within 5 days, the stones have melted away. much better than the alternative....
