Herbs help dissolve!: This is small enough to pass but will pass easier if shrunken. Unknown to most doctors, certain herbs help dissolve kidney stones- esp. Golden coin grass, gravel root and chanca piedra. See http://www.Naturalnews.Com/032051_kidney_stones_jin_qian_cao.Html ; http://www.Rain-tree.Com/chanca.Htm#.Uuwarvbtnoa use these ; drink lots of fluids.Then taking 400 mg/day of magnesium reduces recurrence 90%!

This too shall pass: Main thing to do is drink plenty of liquids, stay well hydrated and pass the stone.

See below...: How do you know you have a stone? Are you having pain? Kidney stones that are not obstructing the flow of urine do not cause pain. If you are passing this stone, you probably have a 60-70% chance that you will be able to pass the stone - although it may not be the most pleasant experience. If you have intractable pain, nausea/vomiting, or fever, seek help at a local er. Good luck!
