"Break Free from Kidney Stones the Natural Way!"



Kidney stones can be painful and disruptive, but you don’t always need surgery to deal with them. Ayurveda offers natural methods that may help dissolve and prevent kidney stones without invasive treatments. While results vary for each person, many have found relief through Ayurvedic approaches.

Let’s explore what kidney stones are and how Ayurveda might help manage them naturally.

What Are Kidney Stones and Why Do They Form?
Kidney stones are hard mineral deposits that form inside the kidneys due to imbalances in the body's metabolism. They can vary in size and may cause discomfort or pain when passing through the urinary tract.

Why Do Kidney Stones Form?

  • Dehydration: Not drinking enough water may lead to concentrated urine, increasing the risk of stone formation.
  • High Oxalate Diet: Excess intake of spinach, nuts, chocolate, and tea can contribute to stone formation in some individuals.
  • Excess Salt and Protein:A high intake of salt and animal protein may raise the likelihood of kidney stones.
  • Poor Digestion:Weak digestion can allow undigested toxins (Ama) to accumulate, potentially leading to kidney stones.

Why Consider Ayurveda?
While medical treatments can remove kidney stones, Ayurveda focuses on addressing underlying causes and promoting kidney health. Sanjeevani Ayurveda in JP Nagar, Bangalore, we use traditional therapies and herbal remedies that may help manage kidney stones naturally. However, it’s essential to note that effectiveness varies from person to person.
