Triphala, for example, contains three essential herbs that strengthen the kidneys and liver. Coriander is also a great choice because of its soothing effect on the body and its ability to help reduce the burning sensation when passing urine. Turmeric has numerous benefits as a natural diuretic and also reduces the risk of infections. Turmeric also helps prevent the formation of kidney stones and heals kidney cysts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Celery_root\"><\/span>Celery root<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_208839880.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6814\" width=\"390\" height=\"277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_208839880.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_208839880-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_208839880-768x546.jpg 768w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_208839880-561x399.jpg 561w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_208839880-265x188.jpg 265w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_208839880-531x378.jpg 531w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_208839880-364x259.jpg 364w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_208839880-728x518.jpg 728w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_208839880-608x432.jpg 608w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shutterstock_208839880-758x539.jpg 758w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 390px) 100vw, 390px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The medicinal benefits of celery have been known for thousands of years. In Ayurveda, celery is known as Shikhi Moda and has been used for many purposes, including the treatment of digestive disorders. Its leaves, seeds, and roots have all been used to treat various ailments, including colds, flu, edema, and poor digestion. Additionally, celery contains a variety of essential and volatile oils and amino acids, which can help regulate blood pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Celery is rich in potassium and vitamin B6. These vitamins promote healthy urinary tract function and prevent kidney stones. Additionally, they contain essential amino acids and vitamin C, which promote bone health, strengthen the immune system, and fight free radicals. Celery root is a good source of all of these vitamins. It also helps your body digest food and is an excellent source of fiber. In addition to its numerous health benefits, celery root also has the added bonus of being delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you're looking for an easy way to eat celery root, consider making a cold salad with it. Celery root is popularly grated and can be used in fruit salads and grain bowls. Its corm is also useful in many other dishes. To avoid browning, remove the corm before cooking and soak it in milk to prevent it from becoming mushy. For other uses, celery root can be diced and baked into chips or fries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Medicinal uses of celery root include its ability to cleanse the blood. It is a low-FODMAP vegetable and is suitable for those following a low-FODMAP diet. However, be aware that celery root may be a food allergen for some people. People with a pollen allergy may react to celery root. Some people with pollen allergies should be especially cautious of celery roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dandelion_root\"><\/span>Dandelion root<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a condition like chronic constipation, you may want to consider drinking dandelion tea. Dandelion tea will keep you regular and help you get rid of constipation. Compared to some prescription drugs, dandelion is safe for most people. However, if you are allergic to ragweed or taking antibiotics, you should avoid drinking dandelion tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Studies have shown that dandelion can fight cancer. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells in animals and slow down their growth. It is also said to increase insulin sensitivity, which prevents blood sugar spikes. Dandelion root extract also reduces cancer cells and may even lower blood pressure. However, it is important to note that dandelion is not a cure for cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While dandelion is not a cure for kidney disease, it is a natural diuretic. It increases urine output, helps in increasing the frequency of urination, and inhibits microbial growth in the urinary tract. Additionally, it helps in replacing potassium lost during kidney function. A study from 2009 found that fresh dandelion leaf hydroethanolic extract increased urine output and frequency in two out of three instances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a risk of allergic reactions to dandelion root. Some people may be allergic to daisies and ragweed. If you experience any of these symptoms, stop using dandelion immediately and consult a doctor. Dandelion root can damage the kidneys because it acts as a diuretic (a drug that makes the body produce more urine) and may cause kidney damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Horsetail\"><\/span>Horsetail<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/bigstock-Water-Horsetail-Swamp-Horseta-431312222-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6815\" width=\"343\" height=\"228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/bigstock-Water-Horsetail-Swamp-Horseta-431312222-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/bigstock-Water-Horsetail-Swamp-Horseta-431312222-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/bigstock-Water-Horsetail-Swamp-Horseta-431312222-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/bigstock-Water-Horsetail-Swamp-Horseta-431312222-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/bigstock-Water-Horsetail-Swamp-Horseta-431312222-180x120.jpg 180w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/bigstock-Water-Horsetail-Swamp-Horseta-431312222-561x374.jpg 561w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/bigstock-Water-Horsetail-Swamp-Horseta-431312222-1122x749.jpg 1122w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/bigstock-Water-Horsetail-Swamp-Horseta-431312222-265x177.jpg 265w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/bigstock-Water-Horsetail-Swamp-Horseta-431312222-531x354.jpg 531w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/bigstock-Water-Horsetail-Swamp-Horseta-431312222-364x243.jpg 364w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/bigstock-Water-Horsetail-Swamp-Horseta-431312222-728x486.jpg 728w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/bigstock-Water-Horsetail-Swamp-Horseta-431312222-608x406.jpg 608w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/bigstock-Water-Horsetail-Swamp-Horseta-431312222-758x506.jpg 758w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/bigstock-Water-Horsetail-Swamp-Horseta-431312222-1152x769.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/bigstock-Water-Horsetail-Swamp-Horseta-431312222.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 343px) 100vw, 343px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are experiencing urinary tract problems or have problems with kidney stones, horsetail may help you. Its diuretic properties stimulate urine production and the elimination of bacteria while improving vascular health. It can also reduce blood pressure by increasing the outflow of urine, decreasing fluid in blood vessels, and reducing the heart's pumping force. In addition, horsetail is rich in magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus, all of which are necessary for healthy bones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditionally, horsetail has been used as a diuretic. Increasing urine output, it helps the kidneys get rid of excess fluid in the body. People with uric acid kidney stones have used it successfully and reported an increase in diuresis. Horsetail may also have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as the ability to inhibit the growth of cancer cells. However, studies have been limited in their ability to determine whether horsetail is truly beneficial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who want to give this herb a try, the best way to take it is as tea. There are also tinctures and alcohol extracts available. Taking horsetail on a regular basis is recommended, but not long-term use is not advised. It draws its minerals from the soil, so contaminated soil will affect the quality of the plant. Therefore, horsetail should be avoided by people who suffer from heart disease, high blood pressure, or kidney stones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to improving the health of kidneys, horsetail can also help prevent and treat urinary tract infections. However, you should not take it without consulting your healthcare professional or doctor. It is also not recommended for people who are pregnant or who have a history of cardiac failure. This herb has been associated with various side effects, including diarrhea and vomiting. Further, you should avoid horsetail if you are taking drugs like digitalis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Parsley\"><\/span>Parsley<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Parsley is an excellent source of antioxidants, which protect cells from free radical damage. These compounds can also reduce the chances of kidney stones, which are hard mineral deposits in the kidneys. Furthermore, parsley contains vitamin C. One cup of parsley provides about 20 milligrams of vitamin C, or 22% of the daily recommended amount. Moreover, parsley is also beneficial for digestive health. Parsley also acts as a diuretic, increasing the amount of urine produced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The kidneys function by filtering blood and flushing out waste products through urine. But, as we lead unhealthy lifestyles, the kidneys are also at risk of developing kidney problems, such as kidney stones. Thus, it is important to live a healthy lifestyle to keep our kidneys healthy and free of diseases. Aside from that, parsley is a great way to detoxify the kidneys. The parsley leaves are loaded with important vitamins and minerals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dosage of parsley should be monitored. It depends on the age and health of the individual. However, it has not been proven that parsley can prevent or cure kidney disease. It can reduce blood glucose levels and may interfere with blood sugar control during surgery. Parsley is also high in vitamin C and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Additionally, it may reduce high blood pressure and other complications related to diabetes. If you suffer from any of these problems, you should avoid taking parsley and other herbs containing parsley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditionally, parsley has been used to kick-start menstruation. It softens the cervix and helps with hormonal imbalances while stimulating menstrual flow. Parsley is not recommended for pregnant women who are taking blood-thinning medication. However, some research has shown that parsley can stimulate menstrual flow. In addition to aphrodisiac properties, parsley is also good for the kidneys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ginger\"><\/span>Ginger<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/bigstock-Ginger-And-Lemon-Fresh-Cocktai-428692577-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6817\" width=\"339\" height=\"226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/bigstock-Ginger-And-Lemon-Fresh-Cocktai-428692577-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/bigstock-Ginger-And-Lemon-Fresh-Cocktai-428692577-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/bigstock-Ginger-And-Lemon-Fresh-Cocktai-428692577-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/bigstock-Ginger-And-Lemon-Fresh-Cocktai-428692577-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/bigstock-Ginger-And-Lemon-Fresh-Cocktai-428692577-180x120.jpg 180w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/bigstock-Ginger-And-Lemon-Fresh-Cocktai-428692577-561x374.jpg 561w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/bigstock-Ginger-And-Lemon-Fresh-Cocktai-428692577-1122x749.jpg 1122w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/bigstock-Ginger-And-Lemon-Fresh-Cocktai-428692577-265x177.jpg 265w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/bigstock-Ginger-And-Lemon-Fresh-Cocktai-428692577-531x354.jpg 531w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/bigstock-Ginger-And-Lemon-Fresh-Cocktai-428692577-364x243.jpg 364w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/bigstock-Ginger-And-Lemon-Fresh-Cocktai-428692577-728x486.jpg 728w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/bigstock-Ginger-And-Lemon-Fresh-Cocktai-428692577-608x406.jpg 608w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/bigstock-Ginger-And-Lemon-Fresh-Cocktai-428692577-758x506.jpg 758w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/bigstock-Ginger-And-Lemon-Fresh-Cocktai-428692577-1152x769.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/bigstock-Ginger-And-Lemon-Fresh-Cocktai-428692577.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 339px) 100vw, 339px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Several types of ginger can be added to a renal diet. A cup of fresh ginger has about the same amount of medicinal properties as a tablespoon of ground ginger. Dried ginger is also available, and can be found in the spice aisle of most supermarkets. The fresh root can be used to make a ginger tea, which is usually a few grams of dried root per cup of water. Some ginger teas contain ingredients that are bad for the kidneys. The National Kidney Foundation recommends avoiding these products in ginger tea. The other form of ginger is available in a concentrated powder form or as a liquid extract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most important things a person can do to improve the health of their kidneys is to increase their intake of antioxidants. Antioxidants help the body fight off free radicals, which cause inflammation and damage to cells and tissues. Studies have shown that a diet lacking in antioxidants increases oxidative stress in patients with kidney disease, which has a detrimental effect on kidney function. Another waste product that the kidneys remove from the blood is creatinine, which is produced by the breakdown of muscle tissue. Higher levels of creatinine in a person's blood indicate kidney damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One study found that ginger supplements had significant anti-inflammatory effects. Ginger prevented the formation of focal casts, slough, and dilation of tubular epithelial cells in the cortex of the kidneys. Further, ginger decreased the formation of excessive renal interstitial collagen deposits. Moreover, ginger suppressed the production of chemokine receptors-2 and fructose-stimulated monocyte chemotactic protein-1. Moreover, the ginger extract reduced the expression of inflammatory markers, such as interleukin-6 and CD68.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are some essential herbs for kidney health.
