Kidney Stone – Causes & Homeopathic Treatment
Kidney stones are hard mineral deposits that form inside the kidneys. They can cause severe pain when moving through the urinary tract.
📍 What Is a Kidney Stone?
Kidney stones form when urine becomes concentrated and minerals crystallize together. The condition is medically known as urolithiasis.
The kidneys filter blood and produce urine — when salts and minerals (like calcium, uric acid) accumulate, stones can develop.
🔎 Causes of Kidney Stones
- Low water intake
- Excess salt consumption
- High oxalate foods (spinach, nuts, tea)

⚠ Symptoms
