Preventing Kidney Stones

Kidney stones can be a terrifying thought, especially for men, and once you have had a kidney stone the chances of getting another has increased.

Common causes of kidney stones are too much calcium and/or animal protein in your diet as well as not enough water.  As you get older the risk of getting kidney stones increases.  Some diet plans, such a the Ketogenic Diet which consume large amounts of fats and animal proteins, also increase your risk of getting kidney stones.  Kidney stones have been one of the most common adverse effects of the Ketogenic and similar diets for ages.  One of the best solutions to avoid kidney stones is to drink plenty of water and eat a balanced diet with limited animal proteins.  According to WebMD, an increase in fiber and increase in citrate as found in natural lemon juice/lemonade decreases the risk of developing kidney stones.  In addition vitamins are great, but try not to exceed the daily recommended amount of Vitamin D and Calcium if you are prone to kidney stones.

Preventing Kidney Stones with Essential Oils.

Certain Essential Oils can help to aid with the prevention and even potentially break down Kidney Stones.  Be cautious, however, when orally consuming Essential Oils, not all Essential Oils are meant for oral consumption, and just because an oil is labeled as: "Therapeutic-Grade" doesn't necessarily mean that it is pure.  Some Essential Oils contain dangerous additives and/or may not be properly distilled.  Make sure that the Essential Oil is not only Therapeutic Grade, but also from a trusted source.  Also I warn not exceed a specified amount of Essential Oils as indicated from a trusted source or doctor.  Essential Oils are great for medicinal use, but there have been cases of people overdosing and having bad reactions from not using Essential Oils safely and properly.

-Therapeutic-Grade Citrus Essential Oils: Add 2 drops of Lemon, Lime, Wild Orange, 

or Grapefruit Essential Oil to your water twice a day and drink.

-Therapeutic-Grade Helichrysum Essential Oil: Rub 2 drops of Helichrysum Essential Oil on lower abdomen twice a day.

The best and most trusted sources I've found for the purity of Essential Oils are Young Living and Doterra.  For more information email me at: KiProductsOnline@yahoo.com
