How To Use Apple Cider Vinegar To Dissolve Kidney Stones
Kidney stones (renal lithiasis, nephrolithiasis) are small, hard deposits that form inside your kidneys. The stones are made of mineral and acid salts.
These stones often have no definite, single cause, although several factors may increase your risk. Such as eating too much meat and not enough veggies or inadequate fluid intake and dehydration.
Kidney stones form when your urine contains more crystal-forming substances — such as calcium, oxalate and uric acid — than the fluid in your urine can dilute.
Although it can be quite painful, kidney stones can pass on their own.
However, some stones can become too big and might require surgery. If you want to avoid this, use apple cider vinegar.
How Apple Cider Vinegar Works
Apple cider vinegar is often used to detox your liver and kidneys, flushing out toxins and excess minerals so that they can’t accumulate and form stones.
The citric acid in apple cider vinegar helps dissolve small kidney stones, which your body can then expel through the urine (1).
