Can pomegranate cure kidney stones

Pomegranate cannot treat kidney stones. The main component of kidney stones is calcium oxalate crystals or calcium phosphate crystals, which are acidic substances, and pomegranates are also acidic substances, which cannot alkalize urine and break down stones. Pomegranate does not have diuretic effect and cannot promote urination, so it cannot promote the discharge of stones. If the stone is too large and needs treatment, it is recommended to go to the urology department of a regular hospital. The treatment can be done by extracorporeal laser lithotripsy or ureteroscopic lithotripsy, together with oral Chinese medicine, such as Jinling stone granules, kidney stone granules, and compound stone wei tablets. Drink more water, exercise more, don’t be sedentary, and avoid foods containing calcium oxalate, such as tofu with green onions, tofu stewed with spinach, milk, and shrimp.
