Is there a natural remedy for kidney stones?

Not once you’ve got them, really. They need to get peed out, or if they’re too big, pulverized.

As for prevention, yes. Collect your stone and take it to a nephrologist for analysis. If it’s a calcium oxalate stone (the most common type) you can prevent getting another by eating a low oxalate diet. Oxalate is not produced in the body naturally, so you can entirely control its presence in your body through your diet.

Best thing to do is find out what is causing them and avoid it. For me it is coffee, love it, can’t drink it regularly without risking kidney stones.

According to this site, the number one herbal treatment was very effective at dissolving kidney stones and preventing recurrences.It is called Renavive.

Lemon juice is only good if they are very little and if your doctor says that it still can be remedied by that means. Cranberry juice helps as well. Just make sure that they are the kind with no sugar or other preservatives added or else it will get worse.

Be careful with cranberry juice; if you have calcium oxalate stones you’ll actually want to avoid it as berries are high in oxalate (and therefore can contribute to creating more stones).

I was watching Psych, and according to this, asparagus works. But, as a TV show, I doubt the credibility. Just an idea though!

Here is the data on Renavive

Phyllanthus niruri after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy may increase stone clearance for lower pole stones (level 2 [mid-level] evidence)

based on subgroup analysis of randomized trial
P. niruri is plant used in Brazilian folk medicine for urolithiasis
150 patients with renal calcium oxalate stones up to 25 mm received 1–3 extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy sessions and then randomized to P. niruri extract (Uriston) 2 g once daily for at least 3 months vs. no extract
both groups allowed to use ketoprofen as needed and asked to drink at least 2 L of water daily
among 56 patients with lower caliceal stones, stone-free rate 93.7% in treatment group and 70.8% in control group at 180 days (p = 0.01)
comparing P. niruri extract vs. control for stone-free rates
54% vs. 19% at 30 days (p = 0.02, NNT 3)
69% vs. 35% at 60 days (p = 0.03, NNT 3)
74% vs. 64% at 90 days (not significant)
93.5% vs. 83.3% at 180 days (not significant)
comparing P. niruri extract vs. control for stone-free rates at 180 days
89% vs. 86% for 23 upper caliceal stones (not significant)
87.5% vs. 80% for 26 middle caliceal stones (not significant)
90.6% vs. 62.5% for 56 lower caliceal stones (p = 0.03, NNT 4)
86% vs. 83% for 45 pelvis stones (not significant)
no significant differences in stone-free rates for upper caliceal stones, middle caliceal stone, or pelvic stones at 180 days

Try to determine why you developed kidney stones with the help of a medical doctor. I once developed kidney stones because I didn’t drink enough water and I was taking too much vitamins. I eventually pea’s them all out by periodically drinking very large amount of water very quickly. For example pee’d out my biggest stone (5mm x 4mm) after drinking 2 liters of water in 30 minutes. Caution: don’t try that on your own. I was in the hospital under a doctor’s supervision. Good luck.

As everyone else said, it depends on the type. Talk to your doctor.
