Roughly 4 yrs ago I had kidney stones. A friend of mine is a herbalist who suggested some awful tasting tea but helped me through the roughest part of passing the stones.
It consisted of organic corn silk tea, dandelion leaf tea, garlic, and as much cayenne pepper as I could stand. Then continue with the corn silk tea 3x a day to help increase the amount of urine passed.
Good Luck! I know how much pain your are in and about to be in.
