Regardless of how they form, you can prevent and eliminate kidney stones naturally without resorting to mainstream drugs or treatments.

Experts agree that diet is a major factor and note that kidney stones only develop about half as often in vegetarians and other people who eat plenty of fresh vegetables compared with people whose diets do not include plenty of vegetables. Other risk factors include obesity and repeated kidney infections.
One effective way to dissolve kidney stones is to consume large quantities of watermelon and nothing else for an entire day. A watermelon fast helps cleanse the kidneys and the rest of the system as well. Regular consumption of watermelon helps keep kidney stones at bay.
Hydrangea tincture may prevent and eliminate kidney stones in only an hour. If you have unsprayed hydrangea plant in your garden you can make a tea from the leaves – take a teaspoon 3 times a day.
Uric acid stones are found in overly acidic urine. Cherries, strawberries, apple juice, asparagus and nettles help make urine more alkaline. One thing that can cause overly acidic urine is excessive consumption of protein. The herbs meadowsweet, sarsaparilla, and plantain (widely used by the Chinese to treat kidney problems) help to prevent and eliminate kidney stones naturally by ridding the kidneys of excess uric acid.
