Kidney Stones / Bladder Urinary Lithiasis

Formation of “stones” in the kidneys and/or bladder. We also say urolithiasis, renal lithiasis, gravel. The stone can be of uric or uratic origin (15-25% of cases), phosphatic (40-45% of cases), oxalic (25-30% of cases), calcic (15-25% of cases). Urolithiasis is a pathology of the hot season. Too much sweating leading to dehydration is very often the cause of urolithiasis.

The formation of stones depends on the nature of the food and especially on the degree of acidity or alkalinity of the urine, depending on the chemical type of the stone. Certain foods can influence urinary pH and play a preventive and even corrective role.

Meat eaters produce urates, sugar eaters, oxalates, milk drinkers, renal calcinosis. Check the presence or absence of fever: the latter can suggest a kidney infection: pyelonephritis.

Lithiasis is the result of the precipitation in the urinary tract of a substance present in the urine in a state of hypersaturation (phosphates, oxalates, uric acid, etc.)

Replace the salt with herbs (parsley, chervil, etc.) - Walnut + sweet almond oils - Citrus juice around 4 p.m. - Vegetable broth diet for 5 days - Periodic water fasts - Distilled water treatment: one liter per day for ten days - Unbleached soy lecithin - Alfalfa - Rubiaforce (Bioforce), 2 tablets. X 3 / jour - Propolis - Arginine - Oméga 3 - Cure de citron (personnes fortes seulement. À éviter chez les personnes maigres, frileuses, déminéralisées) : 1^er jour, 1 citron, 2^ème jour, 2 citrons... jusqu’au 5^ème jour, 5 citrons puis régression : 6^th day, 4 lemons, 7^th - 9^th day, 3 lemons.

As a general rule, remove: alcohol, canned foods, smoked foods, coffee with milk, syrups, port, Burgundy, tea, peanuts

Prefer: oats, bean, lamb's lettuce, turnip, dandelion, leek, chickpea, black radish, almond, melon, hazelnut, apple and grape. Use a diet rich in fiber, cherry monodiet. - During the crisis, stop drinking: otherwise there is a possibility of increased distention of the renal pelvis, clogging of the ducts

Each lithiasis has its own dietary advice:

• <b>uric acid lithiasis</b>: urine too acidic. Avoid meats, offal, game, shellfish, fermented cheeses, asparagus, spinach, lentils, cabbage, alcohol, tea, coffee. Practice a monodiet of sweet fruits
• <b>phosphatic lithiasis</b>: Avoid sugars, lemon, tomato, spinach, dried beans, cocoa, lentils, soft drinks and bread products containing phosphate additives. Practice a distilled water treatment and correct the urinary pH.
• <b>oxalic</b> lithiasis: avoid cocoa, coffee, pepper, asparagus, fennel, watercress, spinach, sorrel, currant, rhubarb, fig, beer, beetroot, parsley, soy sauce, purslane. Practice a treatment with distilled and magnesium water.
• <b>calcic</b> lithiasis: eliminate dairy products, white wine, mineral water, oilseeds

Hot sitz bath: 1 to Certain intestinal bacteria can produce oxalates (controlling intestinal flora can help reduce urinary oxalates).

Very hot water compress for 20 minutes

Hay flower baths, mid-body, very hot. High-calorie baths which dilate the urinary ducts and facilitate the migration of the stone and therefore a reduction in the intensity of pain.

Hot grated ginger poultice.

E.O. of Lemon (Citrus limonum), Curly Parsley (Petroselinum crispum), Geranium (Pelargonium asperum), Juniper (Juniperus communis), Basil (Ocimum basilicum): 1 drop of each X 3 / day
