If you have a certain genetic predisposition to kidney stones, you have already suffered them before or you simply want to take care of and clean your kidneys to prevent any pathology, we propose a kidney cleansing that you can perform at any time of the year.

Follow these simple steps for three weeks and you will see how the health of your kidneys improves and how it also affects your quality of life.

Why do a kidney cleansing?

The kidneys are organs that work day and night to filter waste from the blood and subsequently eliminate it through the urine. However, due to excessive accumulation of toxins, they sometimes do not function optimally. 

For this reason, it is sometimes convenient to stimulate its functions through habits that allow renal purification. Here are some reasons to consider this measure at least once a year.

• To prevent the formation of new stones if we have previously suffered from renal colic.

• In the case of a family history of kidney disease.
• As a method to reduce pain caused by inflammation, especially in the knees.
• To combat fluid retention and edema.
• In case of tiredness and fatigue, since the kidneys are related to our energy levels.
• To purify the body in general and improve the functioning of all organs.

What ingredients will we use?

To do this renal purification we are going to use organic ingredients with medicinal properties that benefit kidney health. Although it is necessary to take other foods to meet the nutritional requirements of the body, these will be the protagonists.

Onion

In any renal purification you cannot miss the onion, thanks to its diuretic and detoxifying properties. This bulb helps prevent the formation of kidney stones and fight inflammation and urinary tract infections.

Celery

Celery is in fashion for being a great cleanser for the body in general, as it stimulates the function of the kidneys, liver and lungs, which affects the entire body. In addition, it provides us with a large amount of minerals.

Lemon

Lemon is a powerful cleanser that helps prevent the formation of kidney stones, especially oxalates, which are the most common, thanks to its high citrate content. In addition, the consumption of lemons also benefits the liver and the intestine, while alkalizing the body, making it a very effective food for cleansing.

Ginger

This spicy and exotic flavor is excellent for preventing and eliminating kidney stones naturally. It has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, as well as the virtue of increasing sweating. By making us sweat and eliminating fluids through the skin, the kidney is freed from extra work.

Dandelion

This excellent medicinal plant that grows wild is a great detoxifier for the kidneys and liver. It is antibacterial and diuretic, and provides us with minerals while increasing urine.

Horse tail

Horsetail is an ideal remedy for many of the disorders related to the kidneys and bladder, such as fluid retention, stones, infections or incontinence.

What is renal clearance?

It is very important to keep in mind that this kidney cleansing, like any detox diet, should not be extended for long. In fact, at most it should be done for three weeks. The idea is to maintain a balanced diet, but incorporating the above ingredients.

• Every morning when we get up on an empty stomach, we will drink two glasses of warm water with the juice of a lemon and a pinch of powdered ginger. If we find it difficult to drink, we can add a little honey.
• We will use the powdered or fresh ginger to flavor the recipes of each day, both sweet and savory.
• At mid-morning and mid-afternoon we will take an infusion of dandelion and horsetail.
• At night we will prepare an onion and celery broth that we will take as a starter. We will use half an onion and a branch of fresh celery, in addition to the vegetables we want, as well as a little parsley.

Other important tips

As we have already said, renal clearance must be based on a balanced diet. So, you should make sure to include all the nutrient groups, in their proper measure, without overdoing the calories. It also attends to the following:

• Avoid the use of medications that are not under treatment or strictly necessary.

• Avoid bad habits like tobacco and alcohol.
• Minimize the consumption of meat (especially red meat and sausages) and sugars in general (even sugary drinks), refined flour and fried foods.
• Eliminate common or table salt from the diet and replace it with sea salt or Himalayan salt in moderate amounts. You can also opt for other seasonings such as oregano, thyme or rosemary.

Finally, remember to increase your water consumption to complement the effects of this cleansing diet. N or forget that many health problems kidney arise from dehydration. If you have kidney disease or are taking medications, consult your doctor before accessing this plan.
