Dehydration, poor diet and sedentary lifestyle are the main causes of kidney stone formation. It is time that we take an initiative towards it and heal your stones in a healthy natural way.

So, the best way to deal with kidney stones and diabetes is to take care of yourself with diet, exercise, meditation, and sleep.

Eat:

The first thing in the morning is to start your day with something light in nature. Easy to digest is what your breakfast should be because they are the kind of nutrients that get absorbed easily. Even the early morning ritual should include consumption of two-three glasses of warm water will help in flushing out all the toxins.

  • Vitamin C rich diet like oranges, mosumbi, lemons, sprouts, bell peppers helps in dissolving stones.
  • Daily after 2 hours of your afternoon meal, have one inch of ginger boiled in one cup of water and add 5-6 basil leaves for dissolving kidney stones.
  • Drink plenty of water.

Meditation:

In any kind of disease, stress comes complementary to it. But with our assurance and positive attitude, we can treat anything. The best thing to start with is breathing mindfully before sleeping with the help of music to stay positive. In a room take a bowl of water and add two-three drops of orange or lavender essential oil. This will help in soothing you and the aroma will relax you and keep you away from any kind of disease.

Use a 15-minute relaxation technique before sleep by hearing a piece of soothing music and deep breathing will help in relaxing your mind.

A positive attitude will help you to deal with everything in life.

Sleep:

Sleeping for at least 7-8 hours is really helpful in dealing with any problem. Sleep is our body's natural response and helps the body to heal. Sleep relaxes the muscles and strengthens our body. During sleep, our body goes into a repair mechanism where it heals itself.

Hopefully, these suggestions will help you.
