The toughness of kidney stones is appalling, not even a sledgehammer may break them in pieces. Kidney stones are largely made of calcium and can only be dissolved in bile. Soaking a kidney stone in bile acid for a few hours will totally dissolve the hard little rocks. And bile is synthesized in our very own body – by the gallbladder and the liver. It is a very acidic solution, necessary to break down fats.
So, naturally, we could say that if the body manufactures healthy bile salts and produces healthy bile in the liver and gallbladder a person may not suffer from kidney stones. if that digestive process functions properly all the way through we would be spared from having to suffer the pains that kidney stones cause. Ensuring that the body manufactures healthy bile is essential in the treatment of kidney stones.
How is this achieved though? The addition of bile acids to the diet has proven beneficial over the years. Artichoke increases the breakdown of cholesterol to bile salts, magnesium and B6 together aid the production of healthy bile.
