Drinking more water helps. It does not break down but helps in flushing out small stones, in the form out tiny fragments. You can drink 3 to 4 liters of water per day, if you do not have any contraindications in doing so.

Brief Answer:
I personally do not recommend them moreover

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

High up locations are not very favorable for flushing out stones.

Their is no proven clinical research evidence by the regulatory authorities that the natural remedies which you are asking about. So i personally do not recommend them moreover the content of stone differs in different individuals. Thats is why these natural remedies cannot be generalized for all kind of kidney stones.Just consuming more of water helps a lot than these above mentioned natural remedies.

However if the stone is impacted at a junction supporting measures like above cannot be much useful.So let us await for the CT scan.

Thanks.
