If you’re suffering from kidney stones or sand-like sediment in the kidneys, there are natural remedies that may provide significant relief. I’d like to share with you a few recipes that I’ve personally tested and found effective. These herbal treatments helped me cleanse my kidneys naturally and painlessly over just ten days.
Herbal Remedies for Kidney Stones and Sediment
- Melissa (Commonly Known as Agrimony or Agrimonia Eupatoria)
Take 1 tablespoon of crushed meliskuda (also known in Georgian as farsmanduk or agrimony), pour 1 cup (250 ml) of boiling water over it. Cover the mixture and allow it to steep for 15 minutes. This creates a soothing infusion that supports kidney function.
- Red Bilberry Leaves (Vaccinium Vitis-Idaea)
Place 1 tablespoon of crushed red bilberry leaves into a cup and add 300 ml of boiling water. Cover the cup, wrap it in a cloth or towel to retain heat, and let it steep for 1 hour. Strain before drinking.
- A Mixed Infusion of Strawberry Leaves, Blackcurrant Berries, and Blackcurrant Leaves
Prepare three separate infusions:
- 1 tablespoon of strawberry leaves with boiling water
- 1 tablespoon of blackcurrant berries
- 1 tablespoon of blackcurrant leaves
Steep each separately in boiling water, cover, and let sit for 15 minutes. After preparing the three, combine them into a single infusion. Drink 1 cup immediately after drinking the meliskuda (agrimony) infusion. The remaining liquid should be consumed throughout the day in small portions.
I followed this herbal treatment for ten consecutive days, drinking the infusions as directed. On the third day, I began to pass small stones and sandy particles in my urine. While urinating, I experienced a tolerable burning sensation and mild pain, which is expected when stones begin to exit the body.
If necessary, the treatment course can be repeated after a two-week break, although in my case, a single course was enough to resolve the problem. For those who decide to try these remedies, I highly recommend drinking at least 2 liters of additional fluids per day, such as water or unsweetened herbal teas. This helps flush the kidneys and support the cleansing process.
Doctor’s Commentary
The herb known in Georgian as farsmanduk is identified by many regional names including meliskuda, chichqvis balakhi (crane’s grass), kravis-kuda (calf’s tail), and k’oriskuda (hawk’s tail). Botanically, it is a plant that grows up to 120 cm in height, with straight stems, lanceolate leaves, and umbrella-shaped clusters of flowers. The flowers are typically white, although sometimes they may appear light pink.
In traditional medicine, farsmanduk has been used for centuries. It is valued for its ability to:
- Stimulate appetite
- Aid in wound healing
- Reduce bleeding
- Relieve symptoms of hemorrhoids
- Support the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders
In addition to these properties, farsmanduk offers a mild pain-relieving effect. The plant is rich in flavonoids and essential oils, which contribute to its diuretic (urine-increasing) and choleretic (bile-stimulating) effects. These qualities make it especially beneficial in supporting liver and kidney function and promoting the natural elimination of toxins.
Red bilberry leaves are also incredibly beneficial. They contain flavonoids, vitamins, and organic acids, which make them an effective diuretic, choleretic, and antiseptic. These properties are essential in helping the body cleanse itself of kidney stones and urinary tract sediments.
Strawberry leaves, in particular, are also rich in natural compounds that support the metabolic balance of the body. Their infusion helps regulate digestion, improve urinary function, and stimulate gentle detoxification processes without overburdening the system.
Final Thoughts
If you or someone you know is dealing with kidney stones, I encourage trying these herbal remedies, especially if you’re seeking a natural, non-invasive way to address the condition. However, always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new treatment—especially if you have preexisting conditions or are on medication.
In my case, the treatment proved incredibly effective, and within a few days, I felt lighter, more energized, and experienced no further pain or symptoms. These natural remedies, when used correctly, can offer real relief and promote lasting kidney health.
Important Note: Always prioritize hydration. Herbal infusions work best when the body has enough water to flush toxins and stones through the urinary tract. A minimum of 2 liters of fluid daily is essential for success.
