Natural Kidney Cleanse for Diabetics

Your kidneys perform many functions to help you stay healthy. They promote hormone balance, stimulate the production of red blood cells, eliminate metabolic wastes and help you maintain fluid and electrolyte balance. According to the American Kidney Fund, diabetes is the No. 1 cause of kidney failure. You can keep your kidneys in good working order with all-natural kidney cleanses that detoxify and promote healthy kidney function. A kidney cleanse will eliminate foreign substances from kidney tubules and tissues your body cannot eliminate through the urinary apparatus.

  1. Natural Herbs

    • Take a trip to your local health food store or natural herbs grower to purchase the ingredients for an all natural remedy that will cleanse, detoxify and help prevent kidney stones. Natural herbs can help safely expel existing kidney stones and prevent them from reforming. Parsley seeds aid in cleansing and are a good diuretic. Nettle leaves and corn-silk tea will help you maintain optimum urinary system health. Other herbs to use for an all natural kidney cleanse include barberry, sarsaparilla root, buchu, ginger root, and fenugreek.

    Kidney Stones

    • If you have kidney stones, try this cleanse made from items from your local health food and grocery stores. The recipe calls for vegetable glycerin, goldenrod tincture (can be left out), fresh parsley, ginger capsules, magnesium, vitamin B6, dried hydrangea root, gravel root, marshmallow root, uva ursi leaves and cleaver's herb. The ingredients are prepared as a tea. Sip on the tea throughout the day for the best results. Drinking it too fast or all at once may cause pain or stomach upset. Start out with half the recommended dose if you are unsure of how your body will react to the cleanse. You should keep the tea in the refrigerator and reheat to boiling every four days to sterilize it and keep it from spoiling. The Herbal Kidney Stone and Bladder Cleanse Recipe was designed by Dr. Juergen Buche. You can find the recipe for the tea at www.healingcancernaturally.com/kidney-stone-bladder-cleanse.html.

      For best results, use a kidney cleanse twice a year. Each cleanse will last about three weeks. Always check with your doctor before beginning any kidney cleanse routine.

    Liquid Cleanse

    • Keep your kidneys healthy between twice yearly cleanses by drinking plenty of water. Make sure your diet contains plenty of liquids. This will keep your system flushed and reduce your chances for developing painful kidney stones or other kidney problems .
