Lemon & Olive Oil: Effective Kidney Stone Home Remedy

Lemon and Olive Oil for Kidney Stone: I have been having back pain for months, and never knew what it was until I was diagnosed last Thursday when a CT scan revealed 3 kidney stones. Well, 2 of them were in my kidneys (both 3mm, and one in each kidney), and the other (5 mm) was in my bladder. Last night, I Googled natural remedies for the resolution of kidney stones, and came across the Lemon Juice and Olive Oil remedy. Honestly, I wasn't sure that something so simple would work, but I thought I'd give it a shot. So, last night at about 7pm, I mixed up the 2 ounces of extra-virgin olive oil, and 2 ounces of fresh lemon juice. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be....drinking straight olive oil. I just drank it as fast as I could! I didn't notice any change last night, except for some nausea. I also didn't notice anything today, until this afternoon, at about 3pm, when my left kidney started to throb. This went on for about 10 minutes, and after it subsided, I had the urge to go to the bathroom. Lo and behold, out came the stone! I didn't feel the stone passing, but for those of you out there who have passed stones before, you know when it happens. Anyway, all of this to say, THANK YOU to the poster of this remedy. It really and truly does work. I'm going to tell my Doc about it tomorrow, when I deliver my stone in a plastic baggy to him for evaluation. :) I'm surprised this remedy isn't more widely known and recognized?

I had recurrent pain in my lower left back side since a year now, always in the morning, for about an hour, then it was more or less gone for the rest of the day, that went on for a while. I never suspected that it could have been a kidney stone, because the pain started in the front, like my psoas muscle but it is, a 2.5 centimeters one! or an agglomerate of stones, my urologist will tell me more tomorrow I hope.
I had a ultra sound yesterday showing that. I already passed a 2mm stone a few years ago on my right kidney so I am afraid of passing anything again ever....My question is, can someone tell me if the lemon juice and the olive oil will break that stone in fragments or help dissolve it. I am also afraid that if it breaks in fragments, i will have multiple Passing stone/pain/, does the olive oil help with the passing? does it act like a lubrificator of the uretre? Do I have the chance to pass all size of stones? that is what I am afraid of.....I want to do the right thing but i still don't know yet if its a solid stone or multiple ones....thanks for your insight.

Two Sundays ago I experienced tremendous lower back pain, thinking I pulled something. After suffering for two hours, I had my wife take me to Emergency. Once there, after only approx. 10 minutes in a bed and not yet being administered an IV, the pain went away. I was given a CAT scan where it was determined I had a 4mm stone halfway down the ureter on my lower left side. I left the hospital with two perscriptions - 600 mg Ibuprofen and Vicodin. I took these whenever I felt a flairup coming but it still took approx. 40 mins. for the pain to subside. I found this article, mixed up 3 ozs. of olive oil and 3 ozs. of lemon juice. I held my nose and chugged it this last Sat. afternoon. Sat nite was my last flairup. I have been totally pain free for 4 days now. I never felt the stone actually move or pass but wherever it is, I'm not in any pain. I just hope it passed - maybe it's hiding in my groin area or bladder? Regardless, this conconction, as nasty as it was, worked! I don't advise laying down after you swallow it like I did as it creeped back down my throat and left me with a nasty taste in my mouth. In hindsight, maybe only 2 ozs. of each would have been better?

Oil and Lemon Juice: I can absolutely say this by far has support from me. #1 this is oil based. Oil does not enter the kidneys it gets filtered by your liver. Ever here of someone having a fatty liver. It is because of this. #2 the only place oil is going after the liver is to the colon for excretion. Thus the reason why all of the people has stomach aches, loose stools or diarrhea. I am a physician and prefer for everyone to ask a qualified MD before proceeding with this. I recently had a patient try this....she not only ended up with kidney stones but also gallstones. The gallbladder is attached to the liver. The gallbladder stores bile, which is released when food containing fat enters the digestive tract, stimulating the secretion of cholecystokinin (CCK). The bile, produced in the liver, emulsifies fats and neutralizes acids in partly digested food. High fat intake results in gallstones. She ended up with a kidney stone removal, a urethral stent and the following week a gallbladder removal.

Olive oil + lemon juice remedy for kidney stones: I have had kidney stones for more than twenty years now. I had my share of going to ERs, taking medication, having all kinds of procedures (invasive and none invasive) done to relieve the terrible pain. I had one kidney stop working at one point because of a large 8mm stone. To make the long story short, I came across the olive oil and lemon juice mix by accident before finding this website when my little son's doctor told me to mix a tea spoon of lemon juice + tea spoon olive oil + tea spoon honey and give it to my son each morning to enhance his immune system (my son is almost 3 years old by the way). It seemed to work fine for my son so I started taking the same stuff, but with larger amounts. I used to get about one kidney stone every year or two, but after starting to drink the olive oil lemon juice mix, I had two stones in one month come down from my kidney to my ureter. I guess the mix helps clean the kidneys as well. Anyways, the first stone was relatively small (2-3mm) and I took the mix before I went to bed and at 4am in the morning it poped out. The next stone was 5mm and not as easy to get out. The Dr. at the ER said it may not come out on its own. I had to try the mix several times (8-10) before it finally worked. My advice to those trying this mix is:

1. Have patience. Dont give up if it does not work the first time you try the mix. Even if it does not come out, it will be moving and you will suffer less pain.

2. When you take the mix (about 2oz lemon juice + 2 oz olive oil), take it at night right before you go to bed and dont drink or eat anything after you take it. Let it sit in your stomach for the night. I found that I get better results that way.

3. The reason I know it works is that for the first time, I had the 5mm stone break into three pieces (two small ones and one big one) and all three poped out on the same day. Before the lemon+ olive mix, the stones never broke up to pieces.

Anyways, I usually dont get involved in commenting on sites, but in this case Im hoping that this may help some poor soul out their suffering from this horrible pain. Best of luck to all and if it does not work the first time try, try, and try again.

I started the Lemon Juice and Olive Oil about 3 days ago. My surgery was on Jan. 15 and nothing happened. The second one is scheduled for Feb. 19. I have had the stent since Jan. 15 and that thing hurts; therefore, I can't tell if I am passing any stones or not. I only see blood. What do these things look like? White? Black? etc. I am sure the stent is helping them pass. Yes, the pain in worse at night and I use a heating pad to my back. Any feedback is welcomed here or email. Thanks. I have only one kidney.

Lemon Juice and Olive Oil. Wow, this really works. I have passed four kidney stones in the last 3 weeks with this. I was miserable until I tried this. The last stone I passed, I was in so much pain and discomfort that I felt like crying. My attack started at 3:30 p.m. At 9:30 I still had not passed it. I couldn't sit or lie down. And the urge to urinate was constant. So I mixed up 2 oz. of lemon juice concentrate and 2 oz. of olive oil. I followed it with a glass of water. Within 15 minutes my pain was gone. I was finally able to lay down and go to sleep. 1 hour later I got up to use the bathroom and I PASSED THE STONE. This is unbelievable!! Since I have had a ct scan recently to determine how many stones I had, I know that I have one left in my kidney. I will always have lemon juice and olive oil on hand. Don't be afraid to try this. It really does work.

2oz. OLIVE OIL AND 2oz. LEMON JUICE REALLY WORKS!

It was nearly two years ago when I checked into the Emergency Room at 3:00am in excruciating pain. Unbeknownst to me, I was having my first encounter with a dreaded kidney stone and could only equate the pain to child birth. I had it pretty bad, bloody urine samples,sweating, and uncontollable vomiting, only to find out that the stone was impacted at the top of my bladder and would require surgery to remove it. After the doctor removed the stone a stent was inserted. Thank Heaven I was sedated for this.

A week later the doctor removed the stent in his office (no sedation)

BIG OUCH!! I nearly passed out from the pain. The doctor was very vague on what my diet should consist of. He just wanted to see me in 2weeks for aurine sample, then 3 months for a urine sample, then 6 months for a urine sample, yet he still didn't have any specifics. I started to feel like just a payday to him. Well, I swore I would do ANYTHING to prevent this from ever happening again, and if you ever had a stone, please understand you will be more prone to them than a person who has never had one.

Approximately one year later I recognized that all too familiar pain in my back. Without hesitation, I consumed the Olive Oil/Lemon Juice mixture and by the next morning I had noticeable gravel in my urine and best of all NO PAIN! Now I always keep fresh lemons on hand just in case and I'm left wondering what my outcome would have been two years ago had I known about this awesome remedy. Wishing you all Best of Health.

Olive oil and lemon for EVIL KIDNEY STONES. ok I'm sitting here waiting...... Just washed down my oil and lemon tiincture( makes it sound more palitable!) Had to go to hospital last 2 nights, just as the worst snow storm for the last 20 years hit London. I ventured out alone for pain relief in blizzards and freezing temperatures (which for us is rare!)

I am praying this works as I can't stand another sleepless night. Your yea comments are all so positive I'm feel'in the positive energy coming right at me.

Can someone tell me if its more common for the pain to be bad at night as that seems to be the case for me? Also I was told I had losts of small ones about 6mm - from reading this site that seems to be the average if not on the large side?

Just waiting for the plink of stone on porcelain! Watch this space... hopefully have news by morning!

A couple days ago I tried the lemon juice and olive oil cure. Initially I was skeptical... and my mom the nurse told me that all of these little home fixer-uper's don't do the trick. We I gave it a shot... I mean why the heck not. The day after taking a nice half glass of olive oil and a chaser of lemon juice I felt pretty rotten... but I could feel it move. No not that... the kidney stone! I did have a belly ache from hell for that day.... but there was motion in the ocean. Today i'm glad to say that i've given birth to a nice little stone. Not sure what to name the little guy yet... I am however taking suggestions. Thanks earth clinic... you've been a great help! marcus

I suffered from a Kidney stone for 20 days, I went to the hospital on January 1st and I thought I had passed it about three days later because the pain went away but about a week later the pain came back and remained for two weeks straight except it was further down in my bladder and groin area. I was in misery, I didn't know what to do. I didn't want surgery, and I still had another two weeks for my dr. appt. to the Urologist and I didn't want to go back up to the Emergency room so.. I tried the 2 onces of Olive Oil and 2 onces of lemon Juice, with a glass of water, of course it isn't pleasant to drink, but if you hold your breathe and drink it fast, you can drink it down fast.... it was amazing for me... I took it at about 11pm and passed my stone by 5am in the morning. My stone was already in my bladder so it was ready to come out so I am sure that was why it was so fast. But I am so relieved to get it out. I didn't want to suffer any more.... Thanks to the people who put this cure out there..

I have tried the lemon and olive oil cure for kidney stones (2oz lemon juice with 2oz olive oil, followed by large glass of water). The night before I tried the cure I was feeling very uncomfortable (aching kidney, nausea, constant need to go to the washroom and stress as I was sure that I would spend the next day at the hospital). I decided to try the cure first. I felt almost immediate relief. My kidney had been mildly aching for 5 days and it stopped. I haven't had any pain since!!

It doesn't taste bad at all. I felt so much better that I have taken a few extra doses to make sure everything is all cleared up. I am so thrilled to have found this site. Thank you!

just to give feedback that a month dosage of 4tbsp each for olive oil and lemon juice really works. I also tried drinking 10-14glasses of water daily. I also took fresh coconut milk for a month. kidney stone were dissolved!!

I recently tried the olive oil and lemon juice remedy for kidney stones and it worked for me. I was diagnosed with a 5-6mm stone three weeks ago. I was told that it was too big to pass and that I should have surgery to have a stint put in. I am currently pregnant which limited my options of removal. I opted to cancel the surgery since I was in no pain and try a more natural method. For the first two weeks I drank the 2 oz. olive oil and 2 oz. lemon juice 3 times a day along with a lot of distilled water. I also tried the asparagus mixed with the olive oil and lemon juice and the 4 oz. apple cider vinegar remedy. I only continued with the 2 oz. lemon juice and 2 oz. olive oil for the entire time though. The last week I just drank the 2 oz. of lemon juice and 2 oz. of olive oil at night followed by a large glass of warm water. Finally three weeks later I passed the stone pain free, 2mm smaller (and rounded) than what the doctor had told me it was going to be.

I'm trying the 2 oz lemon juice and 2 oz olive oil suggestion from this site. I'm just curious what function the olive oil serves other than to just taste really bad. Also how many times would you do this and at what interval? Thanks for any suggestions.
