Kidney stones are one of the most painful medical conditions that you can experience. The pain caused by these tiny stones can be excruciating and debilitating. People who are prone to kidney stones can use lemons and lemon juice as a natural kidney stone prevention method.
The Benefits of Lemon Juice – A Word from the Experts
The standard medical treatment for kidney stones is potassium citrate, research has found that lemons have a unique property – they are high in natural citrate. Doctors and medical experts have discovered that lemon juice can be an effective preventative therapy for people who are prone to frequent kidney stones; they are calling this ‘Lemonade Therapy.’
What is Lemonade Therapy?
Lemonade therapy basically aims to increase the consumption of lemon juice in your diet. You can simply make lemonade (preferably without adding too much sugar) or combine lemon juice with other natural ingredients.
Does Lemon Juice Dissolve Kidney Stones?
- Lemons are a highly citric fruit; they contain citrate, a chemical which is a main inhibitor of calcium stone formation and can also break up small stones that might combine into bigger stones.
- It decreases the acidity of urine; this prevents the formation of calcium oxalate and uric acid stones.
- Lemon juice helps break up kidney stones and dissolves them so they can pass easily from the kidney to the bladder through urination.
- It contains a natural antiseptic that helps prevent bacteria growth in the kidney, therefore reducing the chance of infections occurring.
- It helps keep you hydrated and pass a lot of urine.
Lemon Juice for Kidney Stones Treatment and Prevention
We have created a list of quick and effective lemon juice remedies that can be prepared easily and will aid you in preventing kidney stones. Preventing kidney stones from forming is the best way to avoid a lot of pain in the future.

- Mix well and drink this. Be sure to follow with at least 12 oz. of purified water.
- Wait for about 30 minutes and then drink a mixture that contains the juice of half a lemon and a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar (which is full of highly beneficial digestive enzymes).
- Then repeat the lemon juice and apple cider vinegar water for every hour until you feel better from the symptoms.
- Make sure that start this method as soon as you find the symptoms to get complete relief from the kidney stones.
Method – 3: (Lemon Juice with Olive Oil)
- Take 2 quarts of water in a pan and put it on a stove over medium heat.
- Bring it to boil. Once it reaches boiling point, remove it from the heat.
- Add 2 ounces each of fresh lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil to a pitcher.
- Mix it well and store this water in the refrigerator after getting completely cool.
Method – 4: (Lemon Juice with Olive Oil)
- Take 2 tablespoons of olive oil every hour from afternoon until evening time.
- Keep sipping lemon water throughout the day to help flush out the kidney stones.
- The lemon will help reduce the bland taste of olive oil in the water.
- The next step is to lie down, turn to your right side and drink 1 ounce of olive oil.
- Wait 20 minutes and lie on your left side and drink another ounce of olive oil.
- Take a 20 minute rest; avoid consuming any food or beverages after drinking the olive oil.
- The kidney stones will most likely pass the next day, normally during the morning.
- Repeat the process regularly until you feel that all the kidney stones are removed.

i started .. use lemon+ water ..its ok 3 to 4 time daily
There is a lot of misinformation out there ., first I’ve had 7 separate stones.A table spoon of lemon juice in 8 ounces of water every day kept them at bay for literally years., Second small round stones stuck in the kidney area hurt the most .,anything that creates the perfect plug to halt the flow of urine causes way more pain.jagged shaped stones while bad , at least let some flow of urine by.If you are in good health & can vomit frequently without haveing further health complications .,”THIS WILL PUSH THEM OUT” & into the tube to the bladder, keeping out of the hospital.If you don’t expel them in the next 48 hours then you will need to go in .The procedure is simple(laser surgery) & not at all scary.

I have 16mm kidney stone, should I use the lemon, tho I have use meds the doctor give but still having little pain ,what will I do
you cannot swallow olive oil to “coat” the ureters, you cannot disolve them by magic either or “flush them out”, anything swallowed is digested by stomach acid and enzymes, there is NO route from the mouth to the kidney. Someimes smaller stone will pass in urine.

Can lemon and apple cider vinegar dissolve calcium oxylate stone. Did any one develop diabetes or high blood pressure after lithotripsy
This is a very helpful site. Thanks for this list. I am sure it has helped many people. I had one 7mm and two 5mm stones in right urethra, the dr. placed a stent due to UTI. I passed the 7mm and one 5mm with the stent in place which is uncommon. Along with much healing prayer I drank 4oz of fresh lemon juice and 4oz of olive oil for two days. Once the stent was removed I passed the other 5mm stone. So I highly recommend this combination. Hope this helps some of you as well.
I have a 5mm kidney stone caused by uric acid. My doctor proposed eswl but am afraid of the side effects. Can I take lemon or apple cider vinegar to help dissolve it? Are they not acidic? Which home remedy can you recommend for me. Thank you
This makes no sense. The digestive system is not connected to the kidneys so olive oil cannot ‘lubricate’ the kidney or ureter. Drinking lemon juice when you eat fooed high in oxalates like broccolli or cauliflower will counter act the effect of the oxalates that can build a stone , but once you have a stone that starts to reach the size of 5 mm it will not pass through the ureter. It will get stuck at 3 different places from the kidney to the bladder. I used to do IVP tests on people that had kidney stones 40 years ago. Sometimes the IVP contrast would flush the stone out if it was small enough. I did hundreds of those tests and saw it happen twice. The people experienced immediate relif within 3 minutes of the injection of aprroximately 60ccs of the contrast material because it ws designed to be absorbed by the kidneys to make them visible on X-Ray. However on calcium oxalate stones were visible on a plain X-Ray. A Ct scan however will show all three types of those stones with out contrast. I did hundreds of those scans as well.

I have gone through the blog and thank you very much for the useful information. I have a query though : Can the size of the kidney stone ( 15mm ) be further reduced (May be to 14 or 13mm) by taking lime juice regularly.
