Kidney Cleansing

KIDNEY CLEANSING

The kidneys are complex organs that have numerous biological roles. Their primary role is to maintain the homeostatic balance of bodily fluids by filtering and secreting metabolites and minerals from the blood and excreting them, along with water, as urine.

Kidney cleansing is both aimed at dissolving kidney stones and for improving kidney health by flushing out accumulated toxins.

There are many different kinds of kidney stones. Sometimes, it can take days to dissolve them, sometimes it can take months. Sometimes, water is enough, sometimes; you may need several different remedies.

Crystals form in urine from various salts that build up on the inner surfaces of the kidney. Eventually these crystals become large enough to form stones in the kidney (called nephrolithiasis).

Such salts may include calcium oxalate, uric acid, cystine, or xanthine. These salts can become extremely concentrated under certain circumstances: if the volume of urine is significantly reduced (chronic thirst and dehydration); or if abnormally high amounts of crystal-forming salts are present (infection). When concentration levels reach the point at which the salts no longer dissolve, they precipitate out and form crystals.

Stones may also form in the ureter or the bladder. The salts that form these stones are made up of combinations of minerals and other chemicals, much of which is derived from a person’s diet.

Realize that a heatlhy, balanced, mostly alkalize diet, regular exercise and plenty of water is the best way to maintain healthy kidneys.

How to prevent kidney stones

Drink pure, alkaline if possible, water, eat melons, cleanse your kidneys, avoid dehydration, avoid coffee, avoid chocolate, avoid processed sugar, avoid industrial products, improve your diet, avoid table salt, avoid carbonated drinks, improve your lifestyle …

Signs and symptoms of kidney stones and poor kidney health

Lower back pain, kidney pain, edema (“water holding”-like lungs edema, arms edema, legs edema, abdomen edema), blood in urine…

It takes a lot of liquid to “wash” the inside of your body. Taking it in the form of juice or herbal teas can give you some extra benefits and extra enjoyment, if you learn to make them with variations.

Any edema or “water holding”, whether in lungs, arms, or abdomen, also requires strengthening of kidneys with kidney cleansing.

The main symptom of kidney stones is pain in the lower and middle back (kidney area, or spine), but as that pain can be excruciating, some people may feel the pain in different parts of their body.

There are hundreds of herbal recipes, and many different homeopathic remedies used for cleansing kidney stones.

A kidney cleanse is any procedure that involves drinking a large amount of liquid, and eating a healing diet. Simply eating a better diet and increasing your consumption of water can sometimes be enough. Any form of bowel cleansing will also help kidneys. A juice fast is also a kidney cleanse, and any other form of fasting which incorporates a lot of liquids, will by the same token cleanse the kidneys.

Many with first hand experience feel the best recipe is Edgar Cayce’s:

· Celery Seed Tea
