WHAT IS THE SOLUTION FOR KIDNEY STONE?

 

                               KIDNEY STONE

                                 KIDNEY STONES OCCUR DUE TO METABOLIC AND DIETARY IMBALANCE IN THE BODY AND REFLECT DISTURBANCES OF THE BODY'S FLUID AND ACID BALANCE. UNDER DIFFERENT CONDITIONS, VARIOUS SUBSTANCES PRECIPITATE OUT OF THE URINE AND FORM SLUDGE, SEDIMENT, GRAVEL OR LARGE STONES. SEDIMENTS OR EVEN STONES MAY PASS IN THE URINE, ACCOMPANIED BY SEVERE PAIN AND BLOOD (HEMATURIA).

                               TYPES OF KIDNEY STONES

                          THERE ARE THREE MOST COMMON FORMS OF KIDNEY STONES :

                        OXALATE STONES ARE LIKELY OCCUR WITH PERSISTENTLY CONCENTRATED URINE AND SOME PEOPLE ASSUME THAT A DIET INCLUDING TOO MUCH OXALIC ACID ENRICHED FOODS IN NECESSARY FOR STONE FORMATION. SUCH FOODS ARE SPINACH, TOMATOES, RHUBARB, ETC, BUT THIS IS YET TO BE SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN.

                CALCIUM OR PHOSPHATE STONES ARE LARGE AND STAGHORN SHAPED. THEY MAY FORM RAPIDLY UNDER EXCESSIVELY ALKALINE CONDITIONS, OR WHERE THERE IS A DISTURBANCE OF CALCIUM METABOLISM. THIS COULD OCCUR DUE TO IMBALANCE OF THE PARATHYROID GLANDS, EXCESS OF CALCIUM FOOD SUCH AS MILK, OR WHERE CALCIUM IS BEING MOBILIZED INTO THE CIRCULATION FROM THE BONES OF THE SKELETO.

            URIC ACID AND URATE STONES MAY FORM DUE TO ACIDIC CONDITIONS, FOR EXAMPLE, WHERE A DIET TOO RICH IN PROTEIN SOURCES SUCH AS MEAT, FISH AND EGGS IS BEING CONSUMED.

KIDNEY PAIN

URETERIC COLIC IS AN EXCRUCIATINGLY SEVERE FORM OF PAIN WHICH ARISES WHEN A STONE OF RELATIVELY LARGE DIAMETER ENTERS THE NARROW URETER AND BEGINS ITS PASSAGE DOWN TOWARDS THE BLADDER. THIS PAIN RADIATES FROM THE LOIN INTO THE GROIN AND MAY OCCUR  IN RECERRENT BOUTS OF TWO OR THREE HOURS, OR A SINGLE BOUT MAY CONTINUE FOR TWENTY-FOUR HOURS OR MORE. IT USUALLY COMES ON ACTELY, CAUSING THE SUFFERER TO DRAW UP HIS KNEES AND ROLL ABOUT IN AGONY. IT IS FREQUENTLY ACCOMPANIED BY VOMITING, PROFUSE SWEATING AND A GREAT DESIRE TO PASS URINE (STRANGURY), THOUGH ONLY SMALL AMOUNTS ARE PASSED. THIS IS A CLEAR SIGN THAT THE URINARY TRACT IS OBSTRUCTED.

THE ACUTE BOUT OF AGONIZING RENAL COLIC MAY REQUIRE A MORPHINE INJECTION  FOR IMMEDIATE RELIEF AND SURGERY MAY BE INDICATED IN CHRONIC CASES WHERE THE PRESENCE OF ONE OR MORE LARGE STONES IN THE PELVIS OR THE KIDNEY IS DETECTED.

                        CAUSES OF KIDNEY STONES

                            A NUMBER OF FACTORS COMBINE TO LEAD TO KIDNEY STONE FORMATION. THEY USUALLY OCCUR IN THE PRESENCE OF SOME METABOLIC DISORDER AND WHEN THE URINE REMAINS PERSISTENTLY HIGHLY CONCENTRATED. AN UNSUITABLE DIET CONTAINING EXCESSIVE MEAT PROTEINS, ACID FORMING FOODS SUCH AS REFINED FLOUR AND SUGAR PRODUCTS, TOO MUCH TEA AND COFFEE, CHEMICALLY PRESERVED AND TREATED FOODS, PUNGENT AND SOUR CONDIMENTS AND SPICES HELPS TO PRECIPITATE STONES. AN UNHEALTHY DIET CONGESTS AND OVERLOADS THE LIVER, AND WHAT THE LIVER CANNOT EFFECTIVELY DETOXIFY AND METABOLIZE IS PASSED ON TO THE KIDNEYS.THERE IT MAY CAUSE  INFLAMMATION OR GRAVEL AND STONE FORMATION. THE KIDNEYS PASS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE INTO THE URINE, WHICH IS USUALLY FOUR SMELLING AND HIGHLY IRRITATING TO THE URINARY BLADDER. THE LONG-TERM EFFECTS OF THIS MAY BE INFLAMMATION, ULCERATION AND TUMOUR FORMATION IN THE BLADDER.

YOGIC MANAGEMENT OF 

KIDNEY STONES

KIDNEY STONE FORMATION CAN BE PREVENTED AND OLD STONES ND URINARY SEDIMENTS REMOVED BY ADOPTING THE FOLLOWING YOGIC MANAGEMENT PROGRAM AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS. THOSE WHO HAVE SUFFERED A PRIOR BOUT OF MILD OR SEVERE RENAL PAIN OR HAVE RECURRING BOUTS ARE ADVISED TO ADOPT THIS PROGRAM IN ORDER TO PREVENT FURTHER RECURRENCES OF THE CONDITONS. LARGE STONES, HOWEVER, MAY PROVE TO BE A DIFFICULT THERAPEUTIC PROBLEM AND IF YOGA FAILS TO BRING RELIEF, SURGERY, MAY HAVE TO BE CONSIDERED.

2.             ASANA : TRIKONASANA, USHTRASANA, HAMSASANA, KATI CHAKRASANA.

6.          RELAXATION : YOGA NIDRA AND ABDOMINAL BREATH AWARENESS.
7.                MEDITATION : AJAPA JAPA, NADA YOGA.
8.            DIET : A FRESH WHOLESOME NATURAL DIET IS RECOMMENDED. FRUIT, JUICES, AND LIGHTLY COOKED SUCCULENT VEGETABLES ARE RECOMMENDED TO ALKALINIZE THE URINE. AVOID OR REDUCE THE INTAKE OF MEAT, EGGS, FISH AND MILK PRODUCTS AS THEY PRODUCE URIC ACIDS WASTES IN HIGH CONCENTRATION. AVOID ACID FORMING FOODS AND HIGHLY REFINED FLOUR AND SUGAR PRODUCTS SUCH AS CAKES, SWEETS, BISCUITS, ETC. RESTRICT THE INTAKE OF TOMATOES AND SPINACH, WHICH ARE HIGH IN OXALIC ACID. DECREASE THE INTAKE OF SALT. TRY TO DRINK AT LEAST FOUR LITRES OF WATER PER DAY, ESPECIALLY IN THE SUMMER MONTHS. IT IS CLAIMED THAT PEARS CAN DISSOLVE KIDNEY STONES IF UP TO A DOZEN ARE CONSUMED PER DAY.

 

  

FASTING : IN CONJUNCTION WITH INCREASED WATER INTAKE FASTING IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED IN ORDER TO FLUSH, CLEANSE AND PURIFY A SLUGGISH URINARY SYSTEM.

FURTHER RECOMMENDATION 

 

• A SHORT WALK EACH DAY IS RECOMMENDED, PARTICULARLY AFTER THE EVENING MEAL.
•     TRY TO GET SOME OUTDOOR EXERCISE AT LEAST ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK.
•   PARSLEY TEA IS SAID TO BE VERY BENEFICIAL. TAKE A SMALL GLASSFUL EVERY THREE HOURS.
