Are there any home remedies to dissolve kidney stones?

Depends: Calcium oxylate stones cannot be dissolved. Uric acid stones can sometimes be reduced in size by alkalinizing the urine. This can be achieved by taking sodium bicarbonate tablets. Have your urologist assess your stones if possible to determine type.

No.: Kidney stones can be made up of multiple types of materials and without knowing what the stone was made of you cannot treat it with a home remedy. Most stones can be treated (if they do not pass normally) with endoscopic removal or percutaneous (through the skin) removal by an interventional radiologist.
