I have seen many people suffering from kidney stones and can be treated successfully by proper diet regulations. These regulations will also prevent a recurrence of the symptoms. Only a few cases require surgery.

The patient should avoid foods which irritate the kidneys, to control acidity or alkalinity of the urine and to ensure adequate intake of fluids to prevent the urine from becoming concentrated.The foods considered irritants to the kidneys are alcoholic beverages, condiments, pickles,certain vegetables like cucumbers, radishes, tomatoes, spinach, rhubarb, water-cress andthose with strong aroma such as asparagus, onions, beans, cabbage and cauliflower, meat,gravies, and carbonated waters.

Remedies for colds

Garlic soup is an ancient remedy to reduce the severity of cold.

Garlic contains antiseptic and antispasmodic properties besides several other medicinal virtues. The volatile oil in garlic flushes out the system of all toxins and thus helps bring down fever. Garlic oil combined with onion juice, diluted with water and drunk several times a day, has also been found in several studies to be extremely effective in the treatment of the common cold.

Ginger is also an excellent food remedy for colds and coughs.

Ginger should be cut into small pieces and boiled in a cup of water; it should then be strained and half a teaspoon of sugar added to it. It should be drunk while it is still hot, in case of colds.
Ginger tea, prepared by adding a few pieces of ginger into boiled water before adding tea leaves, is also an effective remedy for colds and for fevers resulting from cold.
