What is Kidney Stones?

Kidney stones, or 'Renal Calculus', are solid lumps or crystal formations composed of dietary minerals deposited in the kidney. In medical terminology, the condition of having stones in the kidney is referred to as 'Nephrolithiasis'.

Kidneys are vital organs involved in the excretory function of the body. Ideally, urine passes easily through the kidney carrying several minerals and other residue. In case of any imbalance in these residual substances, they solidify to form kidney stones.

The size of a stone can vary from as small as a grain of sand to as large as a golf ball.

Symptoms

Sudden and acute pain in the groin, abdomen, or sides of the abdomen radiating around the hip down to the groin (Renal colic)
Pain that intermittently increases and decreases in degree

Difficulty in urinating

Penile pain and testicular pain in some cases

Excessive consumption of calcium, calcium oxalate, uric acid, or salt in the diet combined with low fluid intake (75% of kidney stones are calcium deposits)

Urinary tract infections
Metabolic abnormalities
Diet rich in calcium, excessive sugar, and vitamin D supplements
Gout

Homeopathic Treatment Approach

Homeopathy can help dissolve small stones and facilitate their passage through urine. Very large stones may require surgical intervention; homeopathy also provides post-surgery treatment and prevents further stone formation. The main homeopathic remedies are:

Berberis Vulgaris

The main remedy for renal disorders. Indicated with burning and soreness in the kidneys accompanied by acute pain extending from the loins around the hips and down to the groin area, with numbness and stiffness in the renal region.

Lycopodium Clavatum
