Kidney Stones
Kidney stones are hard deposits of minerals and acid salts that stick together in concentrated urine. They can be painful when passing through the urinary tract, but usually don't cause permanent damage. Kidney stones can cause damage if they cause repeated or serious infection or cause kidney blockage for a long time. Some stones, if left untreated, can cause the kidney to stop working.

Alternative Therapies @ Indopathy
Acupuncture
Acupuncture relieves stress, releases the body's natural “feel good” hormones (endorphins), and improves sleep. This traditional Chinese treatment also reduces fatigue, relieves pain, controls blood pressure, and improves kidney function.
Naturopathy
Tiny kidney stones can cause no symptoms at all, but larger calculi can give rise to a sharp, cramping pain in the back and side in the area of the kidney or in the lower abdomen when they move into the urinary tract. Naturopathy treatments are very effective at relieving the pain, often time more so than common drugs.
