The different types of kidney stones are calcium stones, struvite, cystine stones etc. Drinking at least two to three litres of water every day can also help flush stones naturally.

Once a stone has formed in your kidneys there is not alot you can do from a naturopathic perspective. Prevention of kidney stones would be a good topic for a naturopathic doctor. I recommend that you find a qualified and licensed naturopathic doctor through www.naturopathic.org. This person should be able to help you to address the dietary and lifestyle issue that led to the formation of the stones and help you to prevent new ones from forming while increasing your overall health and wellbeing.
Good Luck, Dr. Coleen Murphy, ND

You could try chanca piedra also called, "the stone breaker." It helps break up and expel both kidney stones, and gall stones. You can find out more about chanca piedra at the following website -- http://www.wholeworldbotanicals.com/herbal_breakstone.html
IP6 or Inositol Hexaphosphate is a relatively new discovery that helps keep stones from forming. It also cleanses the arteries, the heart, brain, liver, gall bladder (stones), and many other tissues. If you are prone to get kidney stones you should look into this supplement.
