Say Goodbye to Kidney Stones

Let’s face it: Kidney stones are the “bad boys” of body drama. They show up uninvited, bring their pain party, and make you rethink every glass of water you ever skipped. But fear not! Healing can be delicious, quirky, and maybe even a little funny—so long as you’re armed with these home remedies.

Concoction Time:

Step aside, secret potions! This one’s easy:

• 1 to 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (because it fixes everything, right?)
• 1/4 cup olive oil (yes, you can pretend you’re making a gourmet dressing)
• 1/4 cup lemon juice (pucker power!)
• 1 tsp honey (optional for those with a sweet tooth)

Mix, drink 2-3 tablespoons a day, and follow with water—unless you like the taste of salad dressing mixed with a vinegar punch. Stones may not dissolve instantly, but they certainly won’t like this flavor festival.

Enter the Kidney Bean Broth:

You thought beans were just for chili, didn’t you? Think again!

Soak 500g kidney beans overnight. Boil them in 2 liters of water until mushy. Strain, and sip the bean-juice magic all day. If you prefer, imagine yourself at a wellness spa, “detoxing” one slurp at a time.

Tea Time, Fancy Pants:

Toss that boring chamomile aside.

Try barberry tea, stinging nettle tea, or the ominous-sounding “stone breaker.”

Bonus: Say “I’m drinking stone breaker tea” at parties—it’s a conversation starter!

Extra pro-tips for kidney stone rebels:

• Slash the sodium—too salty means too stony.
• Give high-oxalate foods (spinach, some berries, nuts) the side-eye.
• Limit red meat, unless you want your kidneys to send you more surprise gifts.
• Hydrate like you mean it! If you want a health halo, toss some apple cider vinegar in your water.

Your kidneys will cheer (and say, “Finally!”).
