Herbal Support for the Kidneys

Kidney issues seem to have always been a part of my life. As a child my parents neglect to properly care for my infected Kidneys resulted in serious damage to my entire renal system. A painful infection was allowed to go unchecked until my high fever forced a family friend to take me to the emergency room.

Until being introduced to herbs and natural healing in the early 1990′s doctor proscribed antibiotics was a regular part of my life. Since discovering the healing power of herbs I have taken no proscribed drugs for infection. Combining the infection fighting herbs into Herbal Extracts for my infections has proven effective every time they have been used.

Another Natural Healing Tool

The “Herbal Fomentation” introduces healing herbs directly into the affected area by applying hot towels soaked in a concentration herbal tea. These hot towels are then applied over the damaged or sick area, covered with plastic and heavy blankets to keep the heat in. The packs must be changed as they cool. Fomentations are an excellent way of introducing the healing herbs but way to messy and time consuming. Few people will set up and use these vital applications.

Hassle FREE Fomentation

We have learned to make use of another powerful natural healing tool, the Salve.

Salves are a way of introducing herbs right into the affected area of the body. Depending on the issue and salve being used they can be massaged into the area or applied as a flannel pack over the affected area. When packing the salve cover with plastic wrap, a towel and a moist heating pad for dramatic results on many conditions.

This week we are developing a new salve for use with chronic or inflamed kidney conditions. This Salve can be applied to flannel and placed directly over the kidneys. The herbs in this formula promote urine production and support the health of the kidney.

Kidney Salve Combination: Parsley Root, Juniper Berries, Marshmallow Root, Ginger Root and Burdock Root.

Dr. John R. Christopher provides an excellent understanding of what the Kidney’s really do:

“The duties of the kidneys are best described by calling them the filters of the blood.

“Your blood flows constantly through your kidneys to be purified or filtered. You might be surprised to learn that more than 500 grains of waste matter, acids and poisons have to be moved from the blood through the kidneys every 24 hours.  You can easily see, therefore, that on this filtering and eliminating depends your health to a very great extent. Let the kidneys fail to function properly and nature will call your attention to it right away.

“You will feel depressed and tired, restless at night, and pains in the back will show up. There might be scanty urine or a desire to urinate frequently. Your head will ache and many other aches and pains will be making their appearance.

“You really cannot be surprised that you do not feel well.

“Just figure your kidneys would do only half the work and eliminate only 250 grains of waste, what will become of the other 250 grains? They will be carried back into your blood and poison your system.

“Watch, therefore, your kidneys and deal with even minor irregularity promptly.

“To avoid trouble be careful with your diet.

“Americans consume daily 80 grs. of meat or nearly 3 ounces more of protein-thus attempting to dispose of about 35 grams more than we have capacity for. This overload gradually smashes the kidneys and throws them out of commission.
​
“Our kidneys cannot talk; they just have to stay mum until a hundred and one bodily disorders start us looking around for some mysterious cause of serious trouble. Then, as a rule, it is too late to apologize to the kidneys.”
