A highly recommended treatment for calcium-oxalate stones is a kidney cleansing which involves you drinking a huge amount of liquid (fresh squeezed juices, smoothies, teas, and purified water) while you watch what you eat. The cleaning time could be between 1 to 5 days depending on the size of the kidney stones. This option is considered to be very effective in making the kidney fully functional.
A kidney cleanse is also good for other types infections such as yeast infections. A favourite kidney cleanse involves a lot of watermelon. For three days you overload the kidney on vegetables juice made up of carrots lemons, parsley, celery, and watermelon. Fasting on this juice also allow your body to painlessly pass the stone.
