There are many types of treatments for kidney health problems and diseases. The best course of action is always prevention of course, and one of the best ways to prevent many kidney problems is to drink more fluids directly. When your body gets dehydrated, calcium or other types of deposits can form more comfortable into kidney stones. The lack of fluid also allows germs and bacteria to take hold in the kidneys and cause infections.

Since diabetes and high blood sugar cause many kidney diseases, another standard course of treatment for kidney health problems is to try to control the blood sugar and blood pressure levels in your body. These types of changes can often be controlled well with foods, exercise, and herbal treatments. There are of course many prescription medications used too, and there are surgical procedures used for some kidney problems as well.

Kidney infections are treated just like any other infection in the body: With broad-spectrum antibiotics. Since these medications have the side effect of lowering your body’s immune system, however, the can, unfortunately, put you at risk for other types of infections. Some people just have kidney infection after kidney infection each time the antibiotics are stopped.

A more natural alternative for treating kidney infections is to use herbal antibiotics. These herbs don’t lower your body’s immune system, so there is less risk of having chronic recurring kidney infections, and there is often no other types of diseases that come along once the kidney infection is gone too.

The best herbal antibiotics are Garlic and Goldenseal. Mixing Garlic with Cayenne is one of the most potent natural medicines you can get because garlic contains a compound which is 15 times stronger than standard penicillin. Cayenne is a catalyst which helps your body to start healing faster.

Sometimes a unique tool is used to try and break up the stones from outside the body. This device sends individual shockwaves from outside your body, aimed at the location of the kidney stone, and attempts to break the stones into smaller pieces, so they’re able to pass naturally through your urine.

Often, however, the doctors will insert individual tubes into your bladder called stents, which are designed to help the kidney stones pass. If the kidney stones are unable to be reached with the shockwave treatment tool, the doctor might instead perform a surgery which involves tunneling in through your back to the kidney, then breaking up and extracting the stones from that incision.

Many people find they can break up their kidney stones by using simple home remedies and natural treatments though. Examples of medications people have found successful over the years include drinking pure lemon juice, lemon juice mixed with olive oil, or drinking copious amounts of coca cola soda.
