Kidney stones

* See a good medical herbalist who will be able to supervise a kidney cleanse. If you have any sizeable stones, you will need the help of a professional; they can be quite painful when they come out if they are not broken up properly. One woman uses parsley and cornsilk tea to flush out her kidneys from time to time, and a friend of hers - who was due to have kidney stones removed - went to a good reflexologist and passed the stones without an operation over the next few days. You may also find support from Berberis vulgaris, a herbal kidney tonic.
