Natural Kidney Detox

The kidneys are important organs because they filter and clean the blood. If the kidneys do not work properly, the body cannot clean itself and dialysis or a kidney transplant may be necessary to keep a person alive. There are natural methods that help to detoxify the kidneys, making them function more efficiently.

Water

• The best way to clean out the kidneys is to drink water daily. This flushes out toxins and wastes that are in every part of the body, including the blood stream.

Fruit

• Cranberries or cranberry juice is a popular folk remedy that is effective in treating diseases of the kidneys and bladder. It can be used daily.

Herbs

• There are also herbs that have proven effective in cleaning the kidneys, such as Uva Ursi.

Fasting

• A fast is a good way to promote self-healing because the body does not use its limited energy resources to digest food. During a fast, the body has a chance to rest and clean.

Diet

• Eating more fruits and vegetables means that less toxins like preservatives and growth hormones enter the body. With less harmful substances in the body, the kidneys do not have to work as hard to filter out these materials.
