Kidney stones are a familiar condition involving crystals forming within the kidneys, affecting some 12% of the global population.[i] They have affected humans since 4,000 BC, surfacing as the most common disease of the urinary tract.

Recurring stone formation has been linked to a number of chronic diseases, including end-stage renal failure, heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure.[ii] Kidney stones have even been considered a systemic condition linked to metabolic syndrome.

Stone formation is rather common, with an estimated five-year recurrence rate of up to 50%.[iii] Its prevalence has been on the rise in the last half century, in part due to dietary and lifestyle changes.

If you’re at risk for or have had kidney stones, you may be interested in exploring natural remedies. Here are some that are worth trying.

1. Water

Studies have previously suggested that daily water intake that produces at least 2.5 liters (L) of urine every day can protect against kidney stones.[iv]

A meta-analysis took this further and confirmed that water consumption was associated with a reduced risk of kidney stones.[v] The researchers noted, “By increasing urine volume, increased water intake can dilute urine concentration, reduce CaOx [calcium oxalate] super saturation, decrease urine acid, and remove salt.”
