PREVENTION    OF   KIDNEY   STONES

ONCE A KIDNEY STONE FORMER ALWAYS A STONE FORMER.

The fact that a person developed a kidney stone once, means that sooner or later he will form another stone and hence preventive measures are lifelong. 

Stone are not the disease, but the end product of some other disease. This other disease has to be treated to prevent further stone formation.

Once the patients are free from the stones, I lift most of the don’ts mentioned in the dietary guidelines. I permit them to have tomatoes, spinach, chocolates etc. but in a reasonable quantity.

 I prescribe only one guideline that is the best preventive for kidney stone :- 
PLENTY OF WATER
The daily requirement will vary with the local climatic conditions. In general at least 3 liters of water every day. The best guide being that the urine should be colorless all the time.  Yes this may getting up one to two times in the night.

Homeopathy has a lot to offer as preventive medicines for kidney stones.
