Lemon & Olive Oil: Effective Kidney Stone Home Remedy

Kidney Stone Remedies: Tasted terrible and caused a revolution in my stomach but pushed the stone out in less than two hours.

I have to say that I have always regarded any kind of home cure mumbo jumbo as garbage. But 12 hours into crying and throwing up trying to pass a stone opens ones mind to trying about anything. I did the lemon juice and olive oil and it worked 2oz of each. tasted nasty but did the job. I was amazed. This was my 13th round with stones and i wished id of found it sooner. This stone was 5mm.

I have been a chronic stone sufferer since I was 19 years old. I am now 31. This latest episode sent me to the ER which of course was pointless because they couldn't see anything on the CT scan and they promptly start treating you like you have a back sprain and you are just in there for the pain meds. ANYWAYS, this time I wanted to try something natural, and I tried the lemon juice/olive oil thing. 2 oz of each twice a day. This is my 3rd day, and my pain is sporadic at best now - definately less intense, and my urine stream is back to normal. I am going to continue drinking it for a couple of more days, but if it doesn't rid you of the stone, it sure makes you feel a whole lot better. I highly recommend this method, for at the very minimum - pain relief so you can function.

My aunt told me to check out this site for the kidney stone recipe. After 3 months of battling a stuck kidney stone, the urologist decided to do a lithoscopy. About a week before the procedure I drank the 3oz lemon juice/3 oz olive oil mixture- 2 days in a row. The second day I felt some cramping and had some bloody urine, but did not feel the kidney stone pass. I continued to drink fresh lemon juice for a few days. I went to have the procedure a few days later and the Dr did not do the lithoscopy as there did not appear to be a kidney stone. He scoped up into the kidney and injected dye- NO kidney stone. I wish I had done this sooner. I am convinced it really works!!! Thank you!

I was out of town in January and initially thoght I had a UTI due to the blood in my urine. But by the second sleepless night and increased pain in my lower back I realized I had a kidney stone. I'm not one for western medicine doctors since I learned through Wellness/Anti-Aging/Naturopathic practitioners how to get myself off of three blood pressure meds and glucophage (diabetes), I turned to the interent to solve my dilemna. The Kidney Stone Cocktail, 3 oz of olive oil & 3 oz of lemone juice worked after taking it twice within six hours, stone moved within two hours of taking the first cocktail but I took the second cocktail just for good measure. I passed three stones a week later. The Kidney Stone Cocktail chased with a large glass of water definitely works. Many thanks!

2 oz Olive Oil, 2 Oz of Lemon Juice:

I read about the above and decided at 2:00 am. I had nothing to loose. I mixed the two ingredients, drank it and followed with a large glass of water. I also added 24oz of Diet Caffeine free Coke. Read some more stuff and finally went to bed at 4:00 am. I decided I would go to to the emergency room at 5:00 if nothing changed. I fell asleep and woke up at 6:00 with the pain almost gone. By 8:00am the pain was gone. I will try a couple more doses today and hope I'm cured. Thanks.

Husband collapsed working on property roof--back pain, right away we found your equal parts lemon juice + olive oil with water-chaser. His pain was immobilizing, he was panicking. I squeezed 1 lemon got 2oz juice, blended in 2oz olive oil with egg-whisk. Took maybe 10 stirs, just like making salad dressing. He downed it while our young son and I cheered him thru. Pain so bad, we decided to go to Emerg Rm. But, drank another lemon/oil/water before leaving. ER's CT Scan showed 2mm stone. He drove home 3 hours later, took another lemon/oil/water. Wow! ER pain pills were little help, but he drank mixture 2 more times, each drink one on return home from ER, last before bed, were 1 to 2 oz lemon with matching olive oil, followed by large glass water. Next day his appetite was near 0. So morning drink again, 4 hours later drank again. He stayed home from work, and with each pain-free elimination, felt better. On 3rd day (ER day, next day, now 3rd day), he drank morning + lunch drink with medium appetite, now adding 1 tsp honey with both drinks. In bathroom, despite pain worries, no pain, no clumps, just greyish fluid when using bathroom - _no pain_ ever with any bathroom uses. At day 5, was again eliminating pain-free, with some fine gritty/dusty specks in bowl. How could that be pain free? Hooray! Dr follow up exam was 3rd day, we told him and another doctor. Both said keep it up. My dr never heard of it, so he is a new believer. So many people have appreciated this info from us, from you. We KNOW you prevented a surgery!

Thank you so much for this web site. I have had bouts with kidney stones for several years and do not think I ever passed one. Did the 2oz lemon juice and 2oz olive oil twice on day one and once second day. Did not notice any pain reduction but a lot of spasms in affected area. Going to the bathroom this evening and an alien shot out of my penis. My wife who is a health care professional said she had never seen a stone so big.Still having some twinges back there and wondering about multiple stones. Will continue to drink concoction for a couple of days and see what else flushes out.

Well...I started having UTI pain last Tuesday and it continued on and off until Friday. By Friday it was bad, my whole right side hurt and low pain in my groin area, so I went to the ER. I didn't have any infection, but Cat scan results said I did have several kidney stones, so I got pain meds. and followed up with my family doc. on Monday. She referred me to a Urologist, and I got in with him on Tuesday. He discovered then from an X-ray that I had one larger (7mm) stone in my bladder. I had others in my kidneys, but was going to have to have surgery for the large one in the bladder, cuz it wasn't coming out. Yuck!! I didn't want surgery, but he scheduled it anyway, for the following Wednesday. He also gave me Flomax to take once a day to try to help it come out, but he was 50% sure I would be having the surgery. So I came home Tues. evening and took the pill, but I was still searching for a better resolution, and discover this site. So I mixed it up, 2oz fresh squeezed lemon juice and 2oz olive oil, mixed it up and drank it down. I must say, it didn't taste good, but I immediately drank water and ate a snack following the potion. I went to bed, got up on Wed., and nothing, so I did the mix again Wed. afternoon, I only did it once that day, I was going to do it twice, but never did, cuz I really didn't like the taste. Anyway, got up on Thursday (today), did some stuff and went to work out, got home and around 2pm today, went pee, and out it came!!! It really didn't even hurt, just a little twinge and there it was!! So during this whole time, I really never had any pain other than the day I went to ER (that was because it was making it's way to the bladder). I did feel it twinge here and there, but nothing major. I went to the doc this afternoon, got another X-ray, and it's gone!! I still have some in my kidney, but those are smaller and should be able to pass without problems. He also told me to try to drink at least one or two glasses of lemon with water everyday to prevent more from forming, according to him it won't dissolve them, but just help to prevent. So, I don't know, I did take that Flomax on Tues. and Wed., but I didn't today. So, I don't know if that helped too, but I'd say the potion worked for me!!! The surgery is cancelled!! Thanks so much!!!

You can count me as 100 percent YEA on the lemon juice - olive oil remedy for kidney stones. My story is this... exactly 8 months and 8 days ago (July 9/07), I woke up at 630am and went to the bathroom to urinate. I went back to bed and immediately the horrendous journey began. I got the most excruciating pain out-of-the-blue, in my lower right back, lower right abdomen and right into the right groin and testicle. Like a burning knife stabbing right through me. Had no idea what is was but it had me writhing on the floor in pain for the next 16 hours at least. Couldn't get relief in any position, not even on the bed, and that is how I ended up on the floor. That night I managed to get to sleep and woke the next day feeling much less pain. Went to the ER but couldn't get in within 5-6 hours so went home. During the course of that week the pain reduced considerably, I had exactly 3 times of smoky-brown urine, but that was it. Was getting back to normal it seemed.

Fast forward 4 months later to November 18/07. Again woke early and got the worst pain imaginable out-of-the-blue again. Exact same pain, but this time was accompanied by violent vomiting that just wouldn't end, even after there was long since nothing left to vomit. Pain, just like the first attack, lasted the entire day and was excruciating again. Got to sleep again that night, and once again pain was less the next day and tolerable, but still hadn't seen a doctor about the condition yet. No blood in urine this time surprisingly enough.

Finally, after close to 8 months of discomfort and frequent urination (up to 25 times a day, I meticulously kept track one week), I went to the ER and sat out the multi-hour wait and saw a doctor. He immediately suspected kidney stones, and got me in for a CT scan after the weekend was over. Scan showed a 6mm calculus (stone) stuck in the right ureter, within an inch or 2 of the opening to the bladder. Didn't know what kind of stone it was, CT doesn't show that and this was my FIRST stone ever, so had nothing to compare to. Got an appointment with the Urologist, and he said there was pretty much no chance of passing the stone anymore if I hadn't done so in 8 months. I had just nicely started taking an anti-inflammatory and a flo medicine, plus drinking gallons of water, hoping that I could still pass the stone since I had just nicely found out that I had one. But despite this, the Urologist booked me for surgery for 4 weeks later.

Then I got desperate for a home remedy, NOT wanting the ureteroscopy surgery. I started with lemon juice but didn't have any olive oil on hand so substituted canola oil in its place. But didn't do remedy right because I was using 2 oz of lemon juice but only a tablespoon or 2 of canola oil because the taste was so bad. Then a week later I got some groceries and bought lots of lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, and also some Coca-Cola and canned asparagus just in case I needed to try the other "famous" remedy found frequently on the internet.

I took 2 oz of Lemon Juice mixed with 2 oz of Olive Oil, and took this twice a day... once in the mid-afternoon and once in the late evening, at least an hour before bed. I was still taking my 1 flo med each evening, but had stopped taking the anti-inflammatory a week earlier. Three days passed and no success, so I decided to try the 6 cans of Coke and 8 oz of pureed asparagus. It was very hard to do without throwing up, being so full that the distended belly was almost too much to cope with, but I managed to do it.

No success the next morning, so went back to my Lemon Juice/Olive Oil routine. Did that for 2 days, and was giving up hope and down to my last flo med pill. Woke up 5 times that night to go pee, but still nothing. Finally got up for good at 835am, tired and depressed. Sat down to go pee this time (other times that night I stood up and strained through strainer), and while sitting and straining the pee, OUT PLOPS THE 6MM STONE into the plastic strainer!!!!!!!! NO PAIN whatsoever, just weird tickling or tweaking in my lower right side and a bit of discomfort for the first time in my lower "left" back. I was SHOCKED. 8 months, 8 days, and 2 hours and it finally came out!!!

Now to pass the stone after all this time, which most everyone thought would be impossible, was amazing and a massive relief. Was it just the lemon juice and olive oil? Or had the coke and asparagus remedy 3 days earlier also contributed? And maybe the Flomax helped too? All I know is that I danced and jumped up and down with joy after that weird, brownish, oval-shaped stone plopped out like a legless spider or beetle or something. And the last 2 days had just been with lemon juice/olive oil and 1 flo med, so I have to give most of the credit I think to the Lemon Juice and Olive Oil. And NO PAIN, stunning!

So to sum up, if I could pass a 6mm stone, stuck in the ureter for over 8 MONTHS, using the home remedies of Lemon Juice/Olive Oil, Coke/Asparagus, and 1 flomax each night, then there is hope for those in a similar situation. Oh, and drink water like it is going out of style, 10-15 full glasses per day. I was drinking after every pee, every meal, and practically every 30 mins. in between time. No little sips, full glasses of water each time. There was hope and in the end the home remedies worked. 3 days of Lemon/Olive, 1 day of Coke/Asparagus, followed by 2 days of Lemon/Olive worked for me. Thank you very much to EVERYONE that has posted on this "Earth Clinic" site, even the Nays, because in the end the great balanced opinions I got on this board told me that these were REAL people, and it came through for me in the end. Now I have to call and cancel my SURGERY....no 2-foot telescope going up the winky on this guy!!!!!

I never post commentaries online, as I believe people's opinions can be biased and prediposed. However, I needed to post my experience using this kidney stone remedy, as within 9 hours of drinking the 2oz olive oil and 2 oz lemon juice mixture, my kidney stone passed!

A brief background on my experience with kidney stones: I had had one previously in 2005, a 4-5 mm renal stone. The experience was uncomfortale and, at times, painful. I initially thought I had appendicitis, as I experienced pain in my side like never before. I felt like I was going to pass out from the feeling. An Emergency Room visit confirmed the stone and, after two weeks of an uncomfortable and agonizing feeling of urinating, it spontaneously passed.

Fast forward two and a half years later when I had the same feeling two weeks ago. I wasn't sure it was a kidney stone until the incessant urge to urinate began a day later. This must be one of the most uncomfortable feelings ever! Not necessarily painful, however, it is extremely difficult to go to sleep and work, as you constantly find yourself in the bathroom trying to rid yourself of this excruciating sensation.

After two weeks, I was ready to try anything. The vicadin wasn't working as well as it did at the onset and I needed a solution. I googled kidney stone remedies and this site popped up. I was, of course, skeptical at first. However, after reading testimonial upon testimonial of people that the remedy had helped, I figured it couldn't hurt.

I simply mixed the 2oz of olive oil with 2oz of lemon juice. I gulped it down quickly and drank a full 8-12oz of water afterward. Just an hour or two before the stone passed, I could tell something was going on. My pain did escalate and I had to take a vicadin, as it was too severe to sit through. However, the pain mysteriously subsided before the pill could even take effect and a few hours later, the stone passed. Maybe this was the remedy taking full effect?

I'm going to a Urologist in a few weeks in hopes of finding preventative measures to never experience this again. However, if I am unfortunate enough to have another kidney stone, you will be certain I'll be trying this remedy before anything else!

Thanks earthclinic!!!!!

Olive Oil + Lemon Juice = "The" Remedy. So this is my 3rd kidney stone in 5 years. I went through Lithotripsy, Ureteroscopy (which is incredibly painful afterwards because they make you wear a stent for a week and stings everytime you urinate).

So along comes child #3 and went online to see about passing the stone with the least pain possible.
WARNING!!! DO NOT BUY URIFLOW!!! IT DOESN'T WORK!!! I spent $60 on those pills and all they did to their credit is ease the pain a bit.

It was going on 2 1/2 weeks & 2 ER visits later and I was all out of options until I came on this site and found the Olive Oil & Lemon Juice remedy. Let me tell you that this works!!! I felt a little jolt and pop it came out! Didn't hurt at all.

Thanks so much for posting this remedy. I finally found the answer!!!

Yesterday I woke up with what I thought was a mild stomach ache, but by mid afternoon I realized that it was a kidney stone. I recognized this because almost 4 years ago I had to go to the emergency room for my first kidney stone. I wasn't crazy about going to the hospital again so with a lot of scepticism I decided to try the 2oz of lemon juice, 2oz of olive oil remedy. I drank the first mixture in the late afternoon and then another before going to bed, this time 3oz of lemon juice and 3 oz of olive oil. I finally fell asleep around 3am. I woke up 7 hours later, very surprised that I didn't seem to have anymore pain. A few hours later I passed a 2-3 mm stone with absolutely no pain. What amazed me even more was that my first stone 4 years ago took 4 days to pass while under a doctor's treatment. I'm a believer. Thanks!

I read all the postings about the kidney stone problem. I figured I had nothing to lose since lemon juice and olive oil sound like nothing more dangerous than salad dressing. Bought house brand Virgin Olive oil and house brand bottle of lemon juice (reconstituted from concentrate - whatever that means!) Total cash outlay $4.45. A reasonable amount - considering any alternative treatment. After two days of two swallows per day (2 oz of each, followed by glass of water) pain seemed to subside. After 4 days, ALL GONE! I don't know if the little pebble disolved and passed or if it just reduced in size to where it no longer bothers me. All I know is that if the pain should again be felt, I will start the routine again. It's been a week now - and so far I'm still AOK. Thank you website creators and contributors!

I had pain in both kidneys. Tried the olive oil + lemon juice remedy & drank a lot of water. Pains went away in two days.
