Lemon Juice and Olive Oil
Posted by Sue (Fairfax, Va Usa) on 02/08/2013
To all the very helpful EC readers,
I went through an agonizing night of what was confirmed as kidney stone pain. Apparently I passed a small one on my own, but CT scan showed 3 more small (1 or 2 mm) ones in kidney. I'd like to try to dissolve them with the lemon juice/olive oil procedure. Should it be taken on an empty stomach? Or does it matter?
Alternatively, I've read here that chanca piedra is good for dissolving stones. However, I have pretty severe osteoporosis. Would this affect my bones?
Heartfelt thanks, Sue

Hi Sue-I have been doing quite a bit of research on Chanca Piedra, I can't find any side effects other than it may affect blood pressure medicine, according to clinical trials.. All clinical trials and user reviews show no other side effects. It seems like a very healthy supplement.. It is just a natural herb that benefits all types of stones, including gallbladder and kidney stones. I am waiting on an order of veggie caps for myself. I suffer from Chronic Kidney Stones (100 +) in the last 2 years. I hope this helps and Good Luck to you...
Please try it-if u are not on heart meds. Right now u are fortuanate enough to have small stones. The danger of passing stones is that if they become stuck u can perforate your urinary tract (ureter, or develope a UTI or worse.. sepsis-which is a blood infection that can easily and often does develope when the urine flow is blocked and begins to back up ur urinary tract. Sepsis can lead to death within hours and must be treated immediately and aggressively w/antibiotics. Remember that if you get a fever, chills, sweats etc-do not hesitate to go the E.R.!! Upon arrival-make them aware that you have a documented case of multiple kidney stones and are experiencing signs of an infection and possible obstruction. This is considered to be a medical emergency at that point and should be handled as such.

Well folks good news to report. Since posting last evening about taking the Rx of Olive Oil. Lemon Juice, I said I would check in. After taking the substance, I frankly felt nothing and ended up having my one my worst nights. On top of the main issue, I began having anexity over running out of my regular meds, since this was now working on day#6 and really had streached my meds to the fifth day, but in no way did I have medication for day #6 and beyond. The only rational thing was to contact the ER, talk to the doc and hopefully either check me in to the hospital or in at least give more meds.
Then low and behold at 10pm, just after watching the new Breaking Amish show, I got up to pee. Everything was cool but then my stream stopped. I was really like a friggin hack saw inside the shaft of my doodad, then suddenly out shot a rock about half the size of a marble. The pain was pretty bad, but only for about 20 seconds. There was a little blood, not much. I am praying that this was the monster of the deep vein. (Still thought I peed out my grandsons Volkswagon Bug! ) So all in all the lemon and olive oil trick certainly didnt hurt anything at all by trying. I will do it again.

I wanted to share that I did pass the kidney stone after drinking the lemon juice and olive oil. It took about 24 hours and obviously could have passed it anyway. I will say that I fished the stone out and took it to my Dr. who said it was the largest stone he had seen that was passed "naturally". I hope I never will have another, but having them about every 12-15 months for the last 5-6 years, who knows. I will use the juice and oil again if there is a next time.

I found this site a couple of months ago when suffering for the third time with kidney stones. I did not want to go through surgery again. I had just had an ultrasound and had been informed I had two medium (7mm) stones in one kidney and a large one (14mm) in the other.
The consultant told me I'd have to have surgery again and ordered a CT scan, which took place about a month after the the ultrasound. In the meantime, as soon as I read the remedies here, I immediately drank a glass of olive oil and lemon juice. An hour later I felt really ill and almost vomited, so I didn't try it again. Instead I started drinking ACV once a day, and kept this up most days for a few weeks.
Today I saw the consultant about the results of the CT scan, and he told me the stones are gone! There is just a small 2mm stone in one kidney, too small to worry about, he said.
Thank you so much for the remedies, you've saved me from a gruesome op!!
As a note of advice, don't try LJ and OO on an empty stomach! Take it after food only.

Pour juice of one freshly squeezed lemon into glass (might be 3 to 7 tablespoonfuls depending on lemon's size). Add olive oil to the glass, between half and the same amount as the lemon juice. Stir it in well, then drink the mixture all at once, no sipping. Now drink a glass of water, 10 to 12 ounces. (A basic vegetable salad dressing is oil and vinegar, but lemon juice here tastes better.)
Do every 15 minutes or half hour, if in strong pain, or 3 times a day during a mild stone event - until you feel the liquid working. You'll feel it at work usually within 5 minutes.
The lemon juice breaks down the stones, the oil lubes your system for pain-free elimination via urinating. It takes 10 to 12 hours to go thru your system. You'll feel it break down the stones, like melting or crumbling away. Be near a bathroom when it's time. The urination feel free flow like a racehorse or young teenager. Totally absolutely routine and painless but looks kind of grayish clear instead of the dark yellow. We've had 7mm stones totally pass during a few urinations over 48 hours. Tho dr exams in ER showed stones of that size, they deny stones were even there, when we told them how we cured it.
Husb always clogs in kidneys due to high calcium in his meds for acid reflux and asthma with alkaseltzer cold cough plus, sudafed, tums. (he gets really ill on ACV, I love the stuff) My stones are always in the urinary tubes. Such relief as you actually feel them break down into nothing. (We also rub lemon rind on chrome sink fixtures to clean them bleach dripping on the porcelain is too caustic, we put lemon rinds in dishpan for easier rinsing of dishes, I sprinkle a pinch of fresh lemon zest under the roses outside where ants often invade.)

Two weeks ago I went to the emergency room because I couldn't go to the bathroom (not a drop). Found out I had a 6mm stone. I had a 5mm stone about two years ago and had to have lithotrypsy. This time almost no pain associated with the stone. I couldn't afford a doctors visit let alone any kind of procedure in the hospital so I started looking for home remedies. I found the olive oil and lemon juice recipe and figured why not? Tried 2oz. of each along with 1tbsp. of Apple Cider Vinegar for good measure two or three times a day. This recipe along with the Flomax prescription I received at the E. R. Took a little over a week but, MAN! , it did the trick! A couple of nights ago all of the sudden I had this sharp, screaming pain while going to the bathroom and felt something pass through and heard a small splash. The pain lasted about two seconds with the pain diminishing over the next two or three minutes with a little discomfort for a day or so and everything has been great since. I whole heartedly recommend this remedy!!

I would keep going with the OO lemon juice and also add in a Tbsp of epsom salt in warm water. Espom relaxes all the ducts and helps release and dissolve the stones. For gall bladder stone pain this works within 30min for me. Make sure you are near a bathroom because the epsom will definitely make you go. Also consider supplementing on a regular basis with magnesium powder, tastes good, not as harsh as epsom, very bio-available and should keep you from getting stones in the future. Apple cider taken for 3 days with nothing else is also said to get rid of kidney stones as well. Some good tips here as well:

Today, in desperation for relief from the pain of a kidney stone, I found this site, and was quickly convinced that it would be worth the try to use the combination of fresh squeezed lemon juice and Extra Virgin Olive Oil to relieve my pain. I had to go to the store which was a challenge in itself, but, bought the ingredients, came home, mixed it up at 1:30, and by 4:30 the pain I've had for 6 days went away. TRY IT! YOU'VE GOT NOTHING TO LOSE, and it will save a trip to the emergency room.

Hello. I tried this same remedy: One shot of lemon juice followed by one shot of olive oil first thing in the morning and before I went to bed. I did this remedy before I had a scheduled ct-scan to determine where the kidney stones were to schedule the laser surgery to remove them. ( I had a ultrasound before that confirm that I had kidney stones). When I went back to the urologist for the results of the ct-scan he said that my kidneys were clear. He asked, "what did you do"? I told him the remedy and he said.. Ahhh yeah.. The lemon juice dilutes the stones and it is easier to pass them. Of course he was not going to tell me this when I went the first time. He took x-rays, then sent me for ultrasound and then the CT Scan. Thank you.. Thank you.. Thank you EC and everyone who shares their post. I saved $1800 which is the deductible from my insurance for surgery.

I have had calcium renal calculi diagnosed in both kidneys. One kidney was almost completely occluded with stone, and the other very full as well. I had lithotripsy followed by numerous surgeries. After the first 3 surgeries, my surgeon gave up referring me to another dr saying he 'couldn't get the angle' I then finally got all the rest of them out at LI Jewish Hospital. All of this happened concurrent to my breast cancer surgery and treatment. I was experiencing a return of flank pain and I saw this purge online and tried it. Following a 2x2 dose of lemon juice and olive oil, I passed 18 stones painlessly. I was surprised to see all the stones in one go come out of me ranging in diameter similiar to that of grains of sand which earlier caused me great pain, sweats and racking nausea. I now use this whenever I get signs of pain.

I started having an attack again so dreading going through the surgery or blasting I began searching alternative treatments and found this site about olive oil and lemon juice. So I said let me try- it's cheap, what do I have to lose and both ingredients are healthy. So I began the cocktail. Well to my surprise PAIN IS GONE, STONES ARE GONE And I'm not in medical debt.
To those of you skeptical and suffering from these beasts in your kidneys please, please try the olive oil remedy you won't be disappointed.

For the past several days I have had severe pain from a 4mm kidney stone in my left kidney. I had a CT Scan that confirmed the stone had moved into the tube between kidney and bladder. My urologist prescribed Vicodin and said it should pass in 2 to 3 weeks. There was absolutely no way that I was going to wait that long so I started researching on line and found this site. After reading the entries, I drove myself the grocery store and bought the Extra Virgin Olive Oil and a bottle of concentrated Lemon Juice and I drank both last night before I went to bed. Around 2:00 AM this morning I had some serious pain as the stone started moving down to my bladder, but the pain passed in about 30 minutes or so. This morning I got up and drank the olive oil, but instead of mixing the lemon juice into it, I made myself a big glass of lemonade with it and stirred in some honey. Big difference in taste and was so good I had two glasses. Around 1:00 PM this afternoon I saw sand like particles in my urine and at 5:00 PM this evening I passed the stone!
I am a believer. I have had stones twice before, once nearly 30 years ago and again just last month. Both were very painful and long duration experiences. I'm sure the lemon juice did help to break up the stone and the olive oil helped ease it out.
It now also makes sense as to why I had the stones in the first place. I'm sure they built up over time as I am prone to them, but for the past six weeks I have been actively losing weight and every morning I have been eating Grapefruit and an orange or two during the day as part of my diet plan. Citric acid, just like from the lemon has been slowly eating away at the stones and they got small enough to move out of my kidneys. At least that is my theory!
In any event, I will not soon forget this recipe for getting rid of kidney stones. Thank you! :)

I would also like to add besides saying this cure works is: You need to start taking it immediately before you get a 100% blockage in one kidney or the other. It is very hard for this remedy to work if you are completely clogged. It will still work but it takes longer and believe me when I say it is a pain like no other, I'm a combat wounded vet not disabled and also have 4 crushed discs in my back and would welcome that kinda pain intraday of a 90-100% kidney blockage!!!!! Once again THANKYOU GOOD PEOPLE AND "EARTHCLINIC. COM"!!!!!! Just this little advice has currently saved me 100-150k in hospital bills. Not to mention the extreme pain and agony.

I woke up at 130 this morning with pain from an obvious kidney stone. It waqs not severe at that time. I took 2 pain pills and tried to go back to sleep. By 630 my pain was 9 on a scale of 10 and I know the 10 it can reach. Looked on the internet and found your site. I live in Costa Rica and went out to my lemon tree grabbed 4 lemons. Mixed with olive oil. Within an hour I was pain free. Totally amazed! Not sure if it will be returning, but I have a whole tree full of lemons and the last drink has lasted at least 12 hours.

Have had stones in past and got through them by drinking lots of water. This time stone only moved from back to left side and stabbing pain became unbearable. Found this web page (thank God) and took first dose of 2 oz olive and 2 oz lemon juice, washing down with glass of water, about 9am. Used Ibuprofen and Diazapam (muscle relaxer) to mitigate pain for about 10 hours. Took second dose of olive oil and lemon juice at 9pm.
Slept through the night and woke up and the PAIN was GONE. A little residual ache from stone being in place for so long, but couple of Ibuprofen solved that. Thanks to everyone for this remedy. Keeping oil and juice on hand for next time.

It's 8pm and at 6:45 pm I drank 4 oz. of fresh squeezed lemon juice followed by 4 oz. of extra virgin olive oil, followed by 1 liter of H2O.
My kidney stone pain was at about a 5/10, now it's at a 2/10. This is my second bout with the pesky buggers and a nurse I spoke with on the phone refused to even make me an appointment, rather, she insisted that I come to the emergency room tonight. I can't afford to, so I was planning on coming home and drinking a few beers-which also helped me with my first go round. However, I didn't like the side effects (drunkeness for a light weight like me).
This remedy is AMAZING!! I'm going to have another lemon juice EVOO elixer before bed. Gracias a Dios!

I'm 28 weeks pregnant with my first child and a couple of months ago I woke up with excruciating pain emanating from my kidney. Since kidney stones run in my family, I'm pretty sure that's what it was. The pain went away and then this morning around 4:30 a.m. I had severe pain in my stomach (poor baby), and back. At first I thought I was going into pre-term labor but after I calmed down I realized they weren't contractions. I was not about to go to the E. R. and have them probe and prod me and cause me to go into labor, so I calmed down, and just dealt with the pain as best as could. And the baby was kicking like crazy during all of this, I hope he didn't get hurt.
I just now drank the Olive Oil & Lemon Juice mixture, 2 oz. of each, with a few sips of lemonade in between to keep from gagging. It wasn't so bad, I'm just worried what's going to happen with my ulcer now. I'd much rather deal with ulcer pain than kidney stone pain anyday. If this doesn't work I'm going to wait 24 hours and do the Apple Cider Vinegar mixed with honey concoction. Thanks for all your comments! I really appreciate this information:) Good luck to everyone!

Oh my, Tahnee, you really have learned well the lessons we are taught... But mind you, they are often wrong! Please do some research about good and bad fats and I tell you, you will be shocked! Don't believe everything you are told, as far as fats go or anything else! They want you to eat, drink, live as it is more beneficial for them, no regards whatsoever for your health. Some good books are Trick and Treat, by Barry Groves, Fats and Cholesterol are good for you, Eat fat and lose Fat, there are also books solely on coconut products... then make up your mind! The more you learn the more alert you will be when governements come with all their "advice".

Francisca is on the money here. Apart from Barry Groves' "2nd Opinion" site everyone should read David Gillespie's book "Big Fat Lies" about the evils of sugar [as fructose, not glucose] and polyunsaturated oils and margarines. Fructose is a leading cause of excess uric acid production. Polyunsaturated oils are unstable at room [body] temperature and overwhelm the body's antioxidant defences. Between them they are responsible for the epidemic of "metabolic syndrome" diseases we see today, which have arisen in tandem with the consumption of fructose in sodas and juices and processed foods, etc. There is also the trouble caused by "excitotoxins". Look it up.
I have had kidney stones since I was 26 separated by up to 10 years of symptom free gaps.
I have had lithotripsy once which successfully dissolved a large stone, but left me with high blood pressure [a known side effect] Worse, doing litho on both kidneys together can lead to diabeties!
I have never tried many of the remedies here discussed but as a preventative I drink lemon/lime water every morning, and during the day as well. I have gone 9 years symptom free, but I have some small stones.
I would like to say that my calcium oxalate stones have come out like little rubbery nodules, but go rock hard on drying out. Also I don't believe they dissolve in the body, but what may happen is that the material that causes them to clump into bigger stones may dissolve so the small grains can pass?
Great site, this.

Day three: with the urulogist appointment fast approaching I am amping up the oo/lj combo. Results from last night were similar to the first night: some grit in my pee but no major activity. Today, with no meds, I am relatively pain free... Some minor discomfort but not the level I'd expect from having 6 stones out of my kidneys in ureter. Having to be at work for 11 hours a day, I can't always strain my pee so I don't know if I've passed any or not. Usually I know when they pass though, but without knowing for sure, I'd say I haven't passed anything yet.

After going to the doc and learning I had my first kidney stone, my wife, who is all about natural cures, happened upon this site to learn about the olive oil and lemon juice remedy. When I returned home about 8:30 pm, I set up 3 shot glasses and into each one put half lemon juice and half OO. I downed all 3 in succession, and followed with 2 large glasses of water. After 30 minutes, I downed 1 more shot of the mixture, followed by 1 glass of unsweetened cranberry juice. For every hour after that, I drank another glass of water. By this time my abdomen was huge with liquids, but nothing was coming out- just the usual trickle and then it would stop, despite the urgent feeling of constantly needing to go.
After about 5 hours, I actually had the urge to go No. 2. I got on the throne and pushed for the bowel movement and immediately the stone shot out at the same time and I finally flowed with urination again. I never thought I would take that for granted, but I have a new appreciation for being able to urinate normally.
So Yes, I'm a believer in the OO and lemon juice, so if this feeling ever returns, I'll know exactly what to do.
Thanks to the people on this site who provided the information to get better. I would still be in pain without you!

Just to update on my case. CT scan came back normal. No stone was seen.
Doc said not to worry, everything's fine and suggests that it probably is my muscle/nerves.
Bah. I am taking it 50%, because I still have a dull bilateral flank pain.
So, I just need to relax and monitor how things are in the future.

I'm so glad I decided to give this remedy a try! I was up last night with kidney stone pain. I knew that's what it was as I've had them in the past, and one time I even had to have surgery with basket removal to remove a large one. I am currently BFing my daughter, so the thought of Rx pain meds or surgery was not appealing to me. I ran across this site and the olive oil lemon juice remedy and thought I would give it a try. So... At 4AM I drank 1T OO and 2T cold lemon juice and approx 32 oz water. It was awful tasting, but by 530AM I was asleep with no pain. I'm not sure what it's doing to the stone, but I'm just so happy the pain is gone :). I'll try it again with 2T OO/2T LJ tonight. Thanks again for posting this remedy. I'm so happy I decided to try it!

KIDNEY STONES: 2 oz lemon juice, 2 oz olive oil, 1-2 x a day for 3 days until stone passed. (Don't do more than this or you might get sick/nauseous. Absolutely no pain. AMAZING!! CURED!! I don't need to add to the hundreds already here, but here's the story. My husband is a physician, we KNEW what the pain was. It was 3 days of intense pain for my husband. The only thing that helped was breathing exercises. My husband was in tears, he felt intense nausea, and we finally broke down and went to the ER to get something for the pain b/c he was missing his first day of work in a new job. Even after getting morphine, he was crumpled on the floor in screaming pain. my mother called to tell about Lemon juice, we asked the Dr. and of course he had no idea about it, so we left with a $5,000 bill...for nothing. Went straight to the store, with my husband crying in the car (he NEVER cries), got the lemons, and there was no more pain and it passed 3 days later. Crazy. His was about 3 mm, calcium stone.

Two thumbs up for the lemon juice and olive oil remedy for calcium stones (previous stones analyzed were confirmed to be calcium. ) I did add a squirt of honey and about 2 oz. Of cranberry juice to the mixture, just to be able to swallow it. Next day I had strange "worm-like" movement sensations from kidney all the way down to bladder with no pain. Hurray! I think I will drink the concoction weekly to ward off new formations as I must take calcium supplements for my osteoporosis. THANK YOU EARTH CLINIC! For saving me the pain and also thousands of dollars in doctor and hospital bills!!!

WOW - you people on this website are amazing. I really think this had to be a bunch of pookey dust (i.e., lemon juice and olive oil). I've had the weirdest symptoms for 2 weeks (first week was a weird combination of fever and chills every night followed by a second week of great discomfort and finally absolute pain last night down somewhere in my urinary tract.). At first I thought may be I was having a problem with my prostate and then for last several days I figured I was having a bad uirnary tract infection). It's now 4:30 a.m. (as I write) and at 3 a.m. I finally work up (again with the pain) and thought, maybe I'm passing a stone or something. So I found this website and thought, 'what the heck i'll give this crazy potion a try' before heading off to the hospital later today. So I squeezed out a lemon through in a bunch of olive oil, chugged it, and then chugged about 4 large glasses of water behind it(thinking these people on the website must be nuts, those that say something'll happen in 30 minutes) and honest to god, not even 20 minutes later, I had to pee and watched carefully and out plunked a 'thing' with my pee, looked to me like an old filling from a tooth but a little smaller, so I guess this is a stone, eh? I never would've believed this nonsense would work. All I can say is thanks-a-billion for this website. These past 2 weeks have been a real pain (honestly I was thinking I had something really bad and that it probably wasn't something as simple as a stone). I'm 50 years old - so i guess I probably should've figured it out sooner, but what can I say this was my first one, so the thought didn't occur to me. You guys are brilliant.

I've experienced the joy of kidney stone attacks for 12 years off and on, (33 yr male). Monday I spent the night in ER with a return visit Wednesday. Friday the urologist scheduled me for surgery with enthusiasm, I might add. Disgusted at the thought of the invasive procedure and the $$$$, I searched the web for any sign of hope. Friday I found your site. At 12pm I took a shot of the "tonic" 3oz olive oil, 3oz lemon juice. Not bad taste. Followed it with 1 liter of water over the next 5-10 minutes. Before bed (about 9pm) I took another shot, 2oz. olive oil, 2oz. lemon juice - followed by about 1 liter of water over next 10 minutes. I was still having back pain and discomfort to a slightly lesser degree but it was tolerable unlike the previous 4-5 consecutive days. Next morning (9am) I took my third shot 2oz. olive oil, 2oz lemon juice, followed by lots of water throughout the morning. Frequenting the bathroom often over the course of the morning, I noticed my "flow" was increasing in pressure and ease. HAPPY to announce, at 12:30pm I birthed my largest stone to date: a 4 mil jagged, ugly dude. However I did it with the slightest of discomfort. I will return to the urologist on Monday bearing the bad news for him; no car payment from my surgery. Thank You for the help, I will return to your site in the future and spread the word. -Aaron-

In my opinion, the reason your stone moved only a bit (without passing) in 5 days on using this "treatment" is because you only followed it with the cup of water. In all other posts of positive results, they all drank close to 1L= 32oz of water. Lemon juice is acid and breaks down the calcium stone (80% of kidney stones are made of calcium) and plenty water is used to flush it out fast. But you could as well be the 20% case where this remedy might not work.

Olive oil & lemon juice worked wonders for my son. He passed a stone 1 hour & 40 min. after taking it. He was in the ER all night. When he came home I looked up stones on this site and he took the remedy. The pain was really bad but now he's pain free, and Happy !
