Kidney Stones treatment using Kidney Beans
Kidney beans, also known as dried French beans or Rajmah, are regarded as a very effective home remedy for kidney problems, including kidney stones. The method prescribed to prepare the medicine is to remove the beans from inside the pods, then slice the pods and put about sixty grams in four litre of hot water, boiling them slowly for six hours. This liquid should be strained through fine muslin and then allowed to cool for about eight hours. Thereafter the fluid should be poured through another piece of muslin without stirring.A glass of this decoction should be given to the patient every two hours throughout the day for one day and, thereafter, it may be taken several times a week. This decoction would not work if it was more than twenty-four hours old. The pods could be kept for longer periods but once they were boiled, the therapeutic factor would disappear after one day.

A tablespoon of the seeds, ground into a fine paste, can be given along with a cup of horse gram (kulthi) soup to dissolve gravel in kidneys. Two tablespoons of horse gram should be used for preparing the cup of soup.

Kidney Stones treatment using Vitamin B 6
Research has shown the remarkable therapeutic success of vitamin B6 or pyridoxine in the treatment of kidney Stones. A daily therapeutic does of 100 to 150 mg of vitamin B6, preferably, combined with other B complex vitamins, should be continued for several months for getting a permanent cure.
Other natural measures that may help prevent kidney stones include:
Avoid foods and beverages that contain high fructose corn syrup.
Reduce your daily salt intake.
Avoid calcium-containing antacids.
Limit intake of beef, pork and poultry to less than 4 to 6 ounces a day.
Eat moderate amounts of dairy products — between one and three servings — each day.
Limit the amount of pasta you eat.
Avoid high-oxalate foods, such as dark green vegetables, nuts and chocolate.
Some research suggests that magnesium citrate or vitamin B-6 supplements may help prevent kidney stones. But the evidence is weak and at this time not sufficient enough to recommend magnesium citrate or vitamin B-6 for the prevention of kidney stones.

You are in luck. there is one home remedy that cures kidney problems but is the nastiest tasting stuff in the world. Get you a bottle of apple cider vinegar and some virgin olive oil. Now you need to go on a two day diet of nothing but 8 ounces of apple cider vinegar for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.Do not drink water or anything else during this time. On the third day, you need to have the apple cider vinegar for breakfast and thirty minutes afterwards,head to the bathroom and sit on the toilet while you drink down 5 tablespoons of the virgin olive oil. sit there until everything is flushed out of your system and you should feel 500 times better.
The vinegar eats away on the stones and cleans out your entire upper and lower digestion system along with your kidneys so dont be alarmed if you develop a bad case of stomach crams or dierhea after taking the olive oil. It only lasts a few minutes and afterwards you shold have a fresh clean start on food digestion and output.

Apple cider vinegar, Drink about 1/4 cup with as much water as you can drink, drink the apple cider as often as you can stand. DO not drink any thing else, No juces! No cafeene, No pop! They also have a vinegar at the health food store, But I have found apple cider works just as well, alot cheeper to. DO not go buy the vinegar pills! must be liquid. Will not hurt you , Drink as much as you can, Be sure to drink plenty of water. Good luck.

You can afford a doctor. Most hospitals have an indigent care program meaning that you can go to the hospital and they will take care of your bill through charity if you have no insurance and you can not afford to pay. Also, check in your local area for Clinics that are based on a sliding scale fee system, this means that they charge you according to what you make. Also, they have sample medications from pharmaceudical companies that they can give you for free.
I don’t know of any at home remedies for Kidney Stones and yes they are very painful. You should see a doctor.
