Cut black radish into slices, sprinkle with salt, drizzle with sunflower oil, and eat in the morning on an empty stomach, without bread or any other food. After one hour, you can have breakfast.
To ensure that stones dissolve and pass out as sand with urine, eat black radish daily for 13 consecutive days without skipping a single day. On the 13th day, you may feel mild discomfort in the bladder, but this is a sign that the sand is being expelled, so be patient.
