A folk prescription for treating kidney calculi.

There are three ways to treat kidney calculi:

1. For stones with a diameter less than 10 mm, herbs can generally be used for treatment. Old Chinese medicine practitioners only boil water to help remove stones, which has the most obvious effect and no side effects.

2. For slightly larger stones (about 10 mm in diameter), if the renal function is good and there is no urinary system obstruction, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy can be performed with a lithotriptor.

3. For stones with large volume (diameter greater than 12 mm) and complications such as hematuria, infection, tumor or urinary system obstruction, surgery should be performed.

Suggestion: The main substances of stones are calcium, oxalic acid and uric acid.

First, drink plenty of water, and it is a big drink, drinking 2000-3000ML a day.

Second, the diet tends to be vegetarian with low animal protein, low animal fat and high vitamins, and restricts foods rich in calcium such as dairy products and refined white flour (it is best not to drink milk before going to bed); Eat less foods containing oxalic acid such as spinach, tomatoes, asparagus and strong tea; Avoid eating animal offal.
