Background: Urinary stones measuring less than 5 mm in size generally pass out spontaneously with urine but only 50% of stones measuring between 5 and 7 mm can do so. Stones measuring more than 7 mm generally need some expensive medical intervention like shock wave lithotripsy and/or surgery for removal.
Aims: To examine if renal stones of all sizes can be successfully expelled through homeopathic remedies without surgical intervention.
Materials and methods: Homeopathic remedies were selected on the basis of “totality of symptoms” according to “similia principle” and by consulting rubrics obtained from repertory of Kent. Patients were screened for symptoms indicating possible presence of renal calculi and advised USG test. Selected homeopathic drugs were administered and change of symptoms periodically monitored.
Results: All 9 patients (5 male and 4 female) detected with renal calculi measuring between 5 and 7 mm expelled their stones through urine after homeopathic treatment as confirmed by USG. Similarly, 4 out of 5 patients with stones measuring more than 7 mm also expelled their stones successfully with homeopathic remedies; one patient with the largest stone (16 mm) was greatly ameliorated with the stone size reduced (9 mm).
Conclusion: Homeopathic treatment can remove renal stones without surgery and can provide an alternative option for non-invasive treatment.
