I used Celery seeds and dried parsley. Dried parsely was, by far, the most effective for me. Have you ever seen the Seinfeld epsiode when Kramer passes a stone? My issue wasn't that bad, but when I went to urinate it became painful as the day progressed. Also, my urine was thick. By the end of the day, the pain went a way and everything was normal. All of that from one cup in the morning. I should add that I was eating lots of Watermelon leading up to that day, so that may have played a role too.
