Kidney stones and gallstones

Kidney stones can be treated with couch grass or horsetail infusion, or with a decoction of dry figs chopped and boiled in milk (and infused for a while). There are some waters which are recommended to dissolve kidney stones (like Fiuggi, italian water i.e.) and others recommended for gallstones (water of Chianciano). The foods to avoid to reduce the risk of a new attack are read meats, preserved meats and game, entrails, hot cheese, fried food, fat food in general, strong drinks and wines, drugs.

Decoction of couch grass: boil for a minute, 2 handfuls of rhizome in a liter of water, throw away the used water, wash the weeds and crush.
Boil again in a liter of water for 10 minutes.
Drink 3-4 glasses a day.
Helpful for gout, arthritis and rheumatism, is also effective to remove small gallstones in the gallbladder and urinary tract.
