Kidney Cleansing
The kidney
filters out all kinds of toxic substances from your blood, like mercury and copper. The kidney is particularly sensitive
to infections and does its job much better when it is clean and functioning properly.
A Kidney Cleanse requires large amounts of water to wash out any toxins that have built up over time. A good kidney cleanse will involve producing up to a gallon of urine every day!
How Does Kidney Cleansing Work?
The
Watermelon Cleanse is the most famous of the kidney cleanses. It is a simple process, involving the intake of
large amounts of water and sitting in a bathtub to expel the kidney stones.
Watermelon is chosen because of its high water content. The passing of so much water through the kidney rapidly dissolves the stones and hopefully avoids any of the complications that they can cause. Drinking lots of water is obviously of benefit in many more ways, so many cleansers report feeling and looking better after this type of cleanse.
Kidney Cleansing Techniques
Got lower back pain and suspect it might be a kidney stone? Try this cleanse before an expensive hospital visit. Small kidney stones can be dissolved a few weeks by avoiding tea, coffee, carbonated drinks and eating more healthily.
Watermelon Cleanse
Probably the most popular kidney cleanse, not easy (and not for diabetics) but it provides
fast results! Purchase 30-50kg of watermelons (a few large ones). Now comes the boring part.. You need
to sit in your bathtub for most of the day, eating as much watermelon as you can, whilst continually
emptying your bladder into the water.
Kidney Cleansing Tea
A variety of teas are available that can help with a Kidney Cleanse. Watermelon seed tea and Celery seed tea are both
powerful diuretics that increase your water intake and flush water more quickly through the kidneys.
Of course, the best thing to do is clean up your diet and avoid this process altogether!
