Ginger can be used in many ways. Hot compresses from ginger tea may cause a superficial skin irritation, which will take your mind off the deeper kidney pain. In addition, the juice of ginger root may be beneficial in ridding your body of kidney stones. Spice up your meals with fresh ginger or try a tea made of grated ginger root.
Alternative treatments for kidney stones include the use of herbal medicine, homeopathy, acupuncture, acupressure, hypnosis, or guided imagery to relieve pain. Starfruit (Averrhoa carambola) is recommended to increase the amount of urine a patient passes and to relieve pain.
