How to Do a Kidney Cleansing

Kidney cleansing is an important part of maintaining health, as pathogens, toxins and heavy metals can settle in the kidneys to form bacteria ridden stones.

Increasing water intake and performing a periodic kidney cleanse is easy and a great way to maintain overall kidney health.
