If the presence of gallstones in the liver or other causes has led to the occurrence of sand or stones in the kidneys or the urinary bladder, you may also need to cleanse the kidneys. The kidneys are very delicate, blood-filtering organs that easily get congested through poor digestion, stress and an irregular lifestyle. The main causes of congestion in the kidneys are kidney stones. Most kidney crystals/stones, however, are too small to be recognized through modern diagnostic instruments, such as X-ray.
The following herbs, when taken daily for a period of 20-30 days, can help dissolve and eliminate all the various types of kidney stones, including uric acid stones, oxalic acid stones, phosphate stones and amino acid stones. If you have a history of kidney stones, in order to completely clean out your kidneys you may need to repeat this cleanse several times, at intervals of 6-8 weeks.
Ingredients:
1. Marjoram (1oz)
2. Cat's Claw (1oz)
3. Comfrey Root (1oz)
4. Fennel Seed (2oz)
5. Chicory Herb (2oz)
6. Uva Ursi (2oz)
7. Hydrangea Root (2oz)
8. Gravel Root (2oz)
9. Marshmallow Root (2oz)
10. Golden Rod Herb (2oz)
Directions:
Take 1 oz. each of the first three herbs and 2 oz. each of the rest of the herbs and thoroughly mix them together. Keep them in an airtight container. Before bedtime, soak 2-3 heaping tablespoons of the mixture in two cups of water, cover it and leave covered overnight. The next morning bring the concoction to a boil; let it simmer for a few minutes and strain. If you forget to prepare the tea in the evening, in the morning bring it to a boil and let it sit or lightly simmer 10-15 minutes before straining.
Drink a few sips at a time in 6-8 portions throughout the day. This tea does not have to be taken warm or hot, but do not refrigerate it. Do not add sugar or sweeteners. Leave at least one hour after eating before taking your next sips.
Repeat this procedure for 20-30 days. If you experience discomfort or stiffness in the lower back area it is because of salt crystals from kidney stones passing through the ureter ducts of the urinary system. Any strong smell and darkening of the urine at the beginning of or during the cleanse indicates a major release of toxins from the kidneys. Usually, the release is gradual and does not significantly change the colour or texture of the urine. Important: During the cleanse, support the kidneys by drinking extra amounts of water, a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 8 glasses per day.
During the cleanse, avoid consuming animal products, dairy foods, tea, coffee, alcohol, carbonated beverages, chocolate and any other foods or beverages that contain preservatives, artificial sweeteners, coloUring agents, etc. While cleansing the kidneys, harsh substances such as chemicals may not only interfere with the cleanse, but may also injure the kidneys.
In addition to drinking this kidney tea each day, you may chew a small piece of rind from an organic lemon on the left side of your mouth and a small piece of carrot on the right side of your mouth 30-40 times each. This stimulates the kidney functions. Make certain that there is at least half an hour in between chewing ‘cycles.’
Important note: If you are over 70 or very sick, do the kidney cleanse for six weeks. If you have a history of kidney stones, or have been diagnosed as having large kidney or bladder stones, or have chronic pain or stiffness in the loin areas, toes or fingers, you may need to add the alkalization procedure to the kidney cleanse. If you are not sure whether you need this addition, do it anyway as it will help many other problems, including allergies:
