✅ 1. Basil Tea (Tulsi)
Basil is a natural adaptogen that:
- Soothes inflamed tissue
- Reduces stress-linked acidity
- May aid in small stone breakdown
How to use:
Steep fresh or dried basil leaves for 5–10 minutes. Drink warm, 2–3 times daily.
✅ 2. Coriander Seed Tea
Coriander is cooling, detoxifying, and kidney-calming—great for urinary irritation and nighttime discomfort.
How to use:
Boil 1 tsp crushed seeds in 1.5 cups water, simmer 10 minutes, strain, and sip.
✅ 3. Barley Water (Yavagu)
Barley acts as a mild diuretic and helps flush fine crystals or stone fragments.
How to use:
Boil 2 tbsp of barley in 2–3 cups water. Strain and drink warm throughout the day. Avoid cold barley water.
✅ Especially helpful for calcium oxalate and uric acid stones.
✅ 4. Coconut Water
This natural hydrator:
- Reduces urinary acidity
- Adds gentle potassium
- Soothes the bladder lining
Drink 1–2 fresh coconut waters per day during or after a stone episode.
✅ 5. Chanca Piedra (with Caution)
Known as the “stone breaker,” this Amazonian herb may help dissolve small calcium stones.
Caution:
Use only short-term (7–10 days). Check with your doctor if you have blood pressure, diabetes, or are on diuretics.
🔄 Combine Remedies With Gentle Movement
- Walk 10–15 minutes every 2–3 hours
