Olive oil and Lemon juice tonic
2 oz Extra Virgin Olive Oil (This breaks down into a good fat for your body, too!)
2 oz Freshly squeezed Lemon Juice
2 Tablespoons Honey (optional)
Combine the ingredients above and warm over low heat until the liquid is warm to the touch, but not hot.
The honey is supposed to detract from the horrid taste, but my husband says it doesn’t help much. (Lol.)
Guzzle down the concoction as fast as possible, and I suggest plugging your nose, followed by 3-6 glasses of room-temperature distilled or filtered water. Continue to drink as much water as you can without getting nauseated.
You should pass the stones within 4-6 hours, and they will come out a spongy consistency, which helps a LOT with passing them, and also assists in preventing scartissue/tearing of your ureter walls. If you have prescribed pain killers, it’s a good idea to take them now, or take up to 800mg ibuprofen.
The olive oil coats the stone as it moves to prevent cutting of your ureter, while some of it is absorbed into the crystals to soften them into the spongy consistency The lemon juice, like cranberry juice will over time, breaks the stone down a bit. It also detracts from the taste of olive oil.
