How to treat kidney stones naturally and at home

Kidney stones are a common and painful condition that affects millions of people. These hard mineral deposits form in the kidneys and can cause significant discomfort as they pass through the urinary tract. While modern medicine offers treatments, Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, provides natural remedies to manage and prevent kidney stones. In this blog, we’ll explore these remedies and dive into the medical astrology perspectives that may offer additional insights.

What Are Kidney Stones in Ayurveda?

In Ayurveda, kidney stones are called "Ashmari," which means "stone formation." This condition is linked to an imbalance in the three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. When these doshas are out of balance, they can lead to the formation of kidney stones.

- Vata Imbalance: Leads to dryness and hardening, contributing to stone formation.

- Pitta Imbalance: Causes excess heat and acidity, which leads to the crystallization of minerals in the kidneys.

- Kapha Imbalance: Results in stagnation and the build-up of sticky substances, making stone formation more likely.

Ayurvedic Remedies for Kidney Stones

Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to managing kidney stones through diet, lifestyle changes, and herbal remedies.

1. Stay Hydrated with Herbal Teas

Drinking plenty of water is key to preventing and treating kidney stones. It helps flush out toxins and prevents the build-up of minerals that form stones. Ayurveda also recommends specific herbal teas for kidney health:

- Gokshura (Tribulus Terrestris): A powerful diuretic, Gokshura helps break down and flush out stones.

- Punarnava (Boerhavia Diffusa): This herb reduces swelling and inflammation in the urinary tract, making it easier to pass stones.

- Varuna (Crataeva Nurvala): Known for its stone-dissolving properties, Varuna helps break down stones and prevent new ones from forming.

2. Adjust Your Diet

Ayurveda emphasizes a balanced diet to manage kidney stones. Here are some tips:

- Avoid High Oxalate Foods: Spinach, beets, and nuts can contribute to stone formation. Try to reduce or eliminate these from your diet.

- Include Citrus Fruits: Lemons and oranges are rich in citrate, which helps prevent stone formation. Citrus fruits also help in glowy skin, learn how at : Morning ritual for glowy skin or read the latest blog to know more about Natural skin care.

Medical Astrology and Kidney Stones

Medical astrology, or "Jyotishya Shastra," offers a unique perspective on health conditions, including kidney stones. According to this practice, each organ and bodily function is governed by specific planets and zodiac signs. The kidneys are ruled by Venus, and their functioning is influenced by the zodiac sign Libra.

1. How Planets Influence Kidney Stones

- Venus: A weak or troubled Venus in your birth chart can lead to kidney-related issues, including stones. Remedies may include strengthening Venus through gemstones like diamond or white sapphire and rituals like chanting Venus mantras.

- Saturn and Mars: These planets, when negatively positioned, can also contribute to stone formation by creating blockages and increasing acidity in the body.
