Lemon & Olive Oil: Effective Kidney Stone Home Remedy

It works! It truely works! I experienced major flank pain on my Left side late night June 21-2007. I knew what it was because I have now had two very large stones (one 14mm with the cage/basket method, and one (12mm with Lithotripsy method) and 4 very small (2 thru 4 mm) stones (feeling like sand burrs come through). On June 22-2007 at about 3 PM I mixed the "FORMULA" in a Larger quantity then called for. I knew my stone was HUGE from the Flank pain so I decided that a big stone needed alot of "FORMULA" I mixed 10oz Cold pressed Olive oil and 10oz of Lemon Juice, followed by 3/4 gallons of water in a 4 hour period (needlessly to say I did not get much sleep that night). Within a few hours I could feel my left kidney (gurgling) processing the stone. I had a little bit of sand like pieces come through in about 6 hours. By the afternoon of June 24-2007 I could feel the stone move however it felt spongey. June 25-2007 same feeling however, it have move into my bladder and into the final canal. Today, June 26-2007 at 9:20 I had to go, and out the stone came, After a close inspection of the stone, it measured about 10mm (no jagged edges) and it was indeed "spongy" soft. I was evident to me that the "FORMULA" works. I will start taking this FORMULA in smaller quantities once a month or every other month as a preventative.

Thank you for this post and the information you shared on this site. I believed it because all the ingredients could be purchased in any grocery store thus no singular motive was evident. Since no one person had the ability to gain, I figured it would work.

The stone of 10mm+ came through just fine, I didn't even buckle to my knees. It happened at work, and I was up and running in no time at all.

As a kidney stone sufferer since 1997, I will pass the information on to anyone who is experiencing these jewels.

Hello Earth Clinic and members. I had my first kidney stone in 1997 for a period of 7 months (5 hospitalizations). After finally experiencing kidney poisoning I went to the emergency room and it was remove using the BASKET/CAGE method follow by a Stint for two seeks. In 2004 I had a kidney stone on my other side removed by lithotripsy. I have passed 2-3 small stones since then. My large stones have been 14mm and 10mm.

The stone I have now is smaller but stuck. I found this site and went to the store to get the needed supplies.

I like olive oil and use it often in my cooking. I like lemon added to water. So I got home with everything and mixed 8oz Lemon juice with 8oz Olive Oil, and 2oz Lime juice. The hairs on my chest grew in magnitude as I drank what should be know as the "FORMULA - KIDNEY, NASCAR" As I write this, I have just started drinking water and will soon take a very long hot bath. I figured that if the 4oz FORMULA works, I would drink about 20oz and then it should work for sure. No Nausea experienced however the Heart Burn was something else. I drank this FORMULA over the course of 30 minutes. I will report more when there is more to report.

Remedy: 2oz Olive Oil & 2oz Lemon Juice followed by lots of water. Ailment: Kidney Stones:

Add me to the "Yea's". I had pain in my lower back for several days that I've identified as a precursor to passing a kidney stone (I'm very familiar with the warning signs as I'm a recurrent stone former). I tried the treatment and a few hours later the pain abated and I passed the stone. I collected it and it wasn't even hard and "stone-like" anymore. It had softened to a state like a jelly bean.

I gave this cure to my wife's boss but it didn't work for him. I imagine that it all depends on the chemical composition of the stone and I am one of the lucky ones that it works for

I tried the olive oil / lemon juice concoction to try to prevent a ureteroscopy to remove a 6mm stone that was located just outside my kidney. I tried it first on a full stomach and then the next day on an empty stomach. Although I didn't pass the stone, some debris was eliminated during each of the following voids after ingesting the solution. It didn't taste that bad and I did not get sick drinking it on an empty stomach. However, I did burb a little and each burp tasted like olive oil, but it wasn't the end of the world. When the day for my surgery arrived, they found the stone just outside my bladder. It had moved all the way down from my kidney to my bladder without the severe pain that everyone thought I would have. I had flank pain and took Vicodan a couple of times to deal with it, but 600mg Ibuprofen would probably have been sufficient. I would have liked to have passed the stone but I think the juice made the trip easier for me. Good luck to all of you.

06/07/07 Saw lemon juice/olive oil mix on line and decided to try. I have had 8 invasive proceedures since 1992. There are over 20 stones in left kidney and 15 in right. Lithotripsy, grabbing and laser have not worked. I have passed one stone in 15 years. The drink wasn't bad at all. Within 5 minutes 95% of the pain was gone. Five minutes later I was running to the toilet where I spent the better part of the night with burning diarhia. It's been 12 hours and I still have diarhia and the pain is still subdued. I am concerned about another 2/2 drink as I am afraid I will end up dehydrated from the massive fluids coming out. Lemon Juice/Olive Oil definately relieves the pain, just stay close to the toilet!

I have a 5mm stone stuck. it has been there for 3 weeks now. I have a doc appt. the 20th so I thought what the heck I will try this olive oil and lemon mix. It was (I gag at anything but didn't at this.) I have tried this 3 times now to no avail. I talked to a dietation, she said it won't help, but it also wouldnt hurt me to try it. I belive the other peoples stones were on their way out anyways, and this won't work on a large stuck stone. I probably will try it a few more times before my doc appt. when they do the scan I will let you know if the stone got any smaller.

Hi,

The castor oil packs really do work. Castor oil has been called the hand of Christ... I thought that was a little weird till I found out it penetrates 3 inches into the body. I would put a pic up but I don't see a icon for it. Anyway, the first stone was half the size of my thumb. I actually had to go get it at the end. Take care

Well it obviously didn't work cuz supposed to do it up to 3 times a day and usually for 1-3 days straight sometimes more.

I have a 6 mm. stone in the lowest part of the right kidney. I took 2 oz. each of olive oil and lemon juice, drinking them separately, followed by a glass of water. Three days later, I had terrible pain in the right kidney and a lot of blood in the urine. That continued for nearly a week, and the stone has not come out. It still hurts, but a lot less than at first. I'm afraid to try this again and will go through the lithotripsy isntead.

This worked for me! I just had my first experience passing a kidney stone and hope I never have to do it again. I had a painful attack one Saturday that kept me on the couch all day. The painful symptoms came and went for almost a week until I decided to go to an Urgent Care facility the next Friday night. I was told I probably had a kidney stone or a bad kidney infection. I was given antibiotics and told to watch for stones to be expelled (gross). I read about using olive oil and lemon juice on this website. On Tuesday night I was desperate and decided to try it. I mixed 2 oz of olive oil and 2 oz of lemon juice at 8 pm on Tuesday. The following day at 1:30 I passed a stone. YEA!!!!!

I have several stones in my right kidney. After doctoring for weeks, and creating many bills, I decided to take matters in my own hands. I am a nurse, and usually believe in modern medicine, but I thought, hey why not give it a try. I tried the Lemon juice and olive oil thing. I used lemon concentrate the first day. IT TASTESD TERRIBLE. I got nauseated about a 1/2 hour later, but the pain was gone. However no stones came out. Then the next day I bought 2 lemons, and did it again, this time with real juice. This tasted better, but still nauseating, and still no stones. Yet the pain was again gone. The olive oil is a natural anti-inflamatory so I think that's why the pain was gone, not because the stones were gone. Now it's 4 days later, I am still in pain, I have an appointment with a kidney specialist in a few days, and most likely will have surgery. I just want to not make these any more. This is my second run with stones, and I am still fairly young. I'm tired of it!!

I didn't see anyone covering this in the posts. Why can't you use concentrated lemon juice and olive oil for dissolving kidney stones? is there something that is lost in it after it has been concentrated? Thanks

Spouse runs a lot and has had lots of stones, drinks lemon jc. concentrate and for 30 or more days kicked out a stone a day, sometimes two, no oil. spinach gives him terrible stones, doesn't eat it any more.

I've had kidney stones before, and will probably continue to have them on and off the rest of my life (because I am /awesome/ like that). I'd never tried a remedy on my own before, because I'd always been on my parents insurance and could easily afford codeiene and a doctor's visit. I've been out of college for three years now, with no health insurance, and a kidney stone decides to rear its nasty head in my right kidney (as usual). I suffered it for a week and a half, through the initial agonizing aching and subsequent inability to urinate more than a tiny bit every 10 minutes or so. And I got fed up--I work two jobs and I can't afford to run to the loo when I need to, or stay home. So I messed around on google, and came across the lemon juice/olive oil treatment. I decided the ingridients were cheap enough to give it a go, and obviously not toxic. I upped the amount (2 oz each) recommended, because I wanted it GONE. Totally worked too. This morning, I peed like I'd never peed before and yah no more kidney stone. I think anyway, because I can't feel it anymore, there's no pressure in my tract, and I can pee uninhibited. A word of caution though--I had a hard time sleeping, and spent five hours thinking I was going to heave my guts up. But yes, thank you all who recommenended olive oil/lemon juice--I love you all!

My wife also suffering from severe pain from 3 days. I got this remedy searching on internet last night. I gave my wife same preparation and she is in good condition- now her pain is less and I hope she will be 100% very soon.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this information available to me! I didn't really think it would work, but IT DOES!!!! It really does work! I drank the lemon juice and olive oil last night and the pain in my side was gone within about two hours...i've been peeing out 'sand' ever since...with NO PAIN!!!!! THANK YOU :)

Olive Oil Lemon Juice Works for Stones: I will be brief. Had my first kidney stone a month or so ago. Blood in the urine. Went through medical channels, urologist, tests to confirm 8mm stone, and then finall lithotripsy. It worked enough that the stone was dissolved and pieces came out. Calcium oxalate stone. Afterwards, though, I wanted to urinate all the time and had a painful feeling at times in my urethra. Went back to urologist, got an xray, and it seemed as though there was a large fragment left in my ureter. He put me on Flomax for two weeks to relax my bladder. I still had the sensation of needing to urinate a lot, plus no stone had passed. I found this site and read about the olive oil and lemon juice. I tried a smaller dose two nights ago, but nothing. I am approaching another doctor visit, so last night I took more. I did not mix them together, either. I drank the olive oil which, if you get a good brand of extra virgin, can taste good, then the fresh juice of two lemons, then drank a quart of water. This morning, after walking the dog, I passed a large fragment, what I believe was the last fragment. I am normally dubious of many home cures. I believe in Western medicine, but I also believe in organic food, Eastern medicine and lots of other stuff. I'm not pre-disposed, in other words to automatically go for the herbal cure. And this could have been a coincidence, but I believe it is what finally worked here. I am grateful.

I tried and still I have not passed the stone in my right ureter size 11 mm.

I drank about a 200 ml bottle with lemon ( 2oz 2oz) continusly for two days.

Looks like the remedy depends on person to person.

Try Chanca Piedra as per Bill from Luzon.

Monday May 7th had the worse pain ever on my left side lower back. Having had a kidney stone before I knew exactly what the cause was. The pain subsided but returned on Wednesday May 9th with a trip to the ER. I was told yes I had a kidney stone, a 6mm one to be exact. I contacted my uriologist who immediately set up a surgery date for May 17th saying there was now way I would be passing this big a kidney stone. Being that I had already had this type of surgery before I certainly was not looking forward to it again! My grandmother suffers from kidney stones and gave the olive oil & lemon juice remedy. I took 2oz olive oil & the juice of a half of lemon drank that down followed by a 8oz glass of water with the other half of the lemon juice. That was on Thursday May 11th. During the following days I drank water with lots of lemon and then the afternoon before the scheduled surgery I was supposed to pick up my hospital packet and told the nurse I really think I passed the stone. They were hesitant but ordered another scan and were shocked to find out I had passed a 6mm stone on my own! I was overjoyed at not having to have surgery the next morning and swear the combination of olive oil and lemon juice is what did it!

IT really works. My husband had been suffering with a kidney stone for 3 weeks. 4 trips to the ER, many shots of morophine and oral pain killers still no relief or passing of the stone. I looked up home remedies online and thought we would give it a try. He did the 2 oz of Olive oil and 2 oz of Lemon Juice and chased it with 12 oz of water. He did this at 9 PM and by 11:30 AM he had passed the stone. WHEW!! We will definitely try this first IF it happens again.
