Picture your kidneys as filters in a bustling city: when they're clogged with toxins, traffic jams occur, disrupting the flow of vital energy. By detoxing, you unclog those filters, allowing the free flow of energy and promoting harmony within your body.
My top 5 herbs that I use for myself and clients are the following:
- Stinging Nettle: Nettle leaf is a powerhouse herb rich in nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It supports kidney health by nourishing the kidneys, promoting detoxification, and replenishing Kidney Yin.
Available in our Love for the Lymph and Food for the Blood® Plus capsule formula.
- Marshmallow Root: Marshmallow root has soothing and anti-inflammatory properties that help alleviate irritation and inflammation in the urinary tract and kidneys. It also forms a protective coating on the urinary tract lining, promoting healing and reducing discomfort.
- Dandelion Root: Dandelion root is valued for its diuretic properties, which help increase urine production and promote the elimination of toxins from the kidneys. It also supports liver function, indirectly benefiting kidney health by aiding in detoxification processes.
Available in our Food for the Blood® tea blend and Food for the Blood® Plus capsule formula.
- Chanca Piedra: Nature's secret for kidney regeneration, kidney stones, gallstones, and gout. This herb has been utilized for generations in the Amazon and in traditional herbal medicine systems in South America. It doesn't stop there, this herb holds more than 70 natural plant compounds called polyphenols, which have strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions. Lastly, Chanca holds strong liver-protective, heart-protective, immune-modulating, and anti-inflammatory benefits to name a few.
- Dulse Seaweed: Source of Essential Nutrients: Dulse is a nutrient-dense seaweed that provides vitamins, minerals, and trace elements essential for kidney function, such as iron, potassium, and vitamin B12. These nutrients support kidney health and contribute to overall well-being.
Available here in our Sea Elements formula.
- Shizandra: Considered a kidney tonic herb. It is believed to nourish and tonify the kidneys, promoting their health and vitality. Schisandra is particularly valued for its ability to support kidney Yin, which represents the cooling, nourishing, and restorative aspects of kidney energy.
