Herbs improve circulation to the kidneys, helping them eliminate accumulated debris and improving their efficiency. If you have lower back pain, or clear symptoms of kidney stones, taking herbal supplements is advisable.

There are many herbs that can dissolve kidney stones. Some of these herbs include hydrangea, gravel root, marshmallow root, fresh parsley, goldenrod herb, and ginger. Also vitamin B6 and magnesium taken daily can prevent oxalate stones from forming.

While doing kidney detox, stop eating meats, breads, cereals and pasta. Instead, increase intake of milk, fruits and vegetables.

Relieve Urinary Tract Infection with Cranberry and Cinnamon

September 30th, 2009 by Mary | No Comments | Filed in Supplement Reviews, Urinary Tract

A urinary tract infection is an infection that begins in the urinary system. The urinary system includes that bladder, kidneys, ureters (the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder) and the urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body). Urinary tract infection is the second most common infection after respiratory infection.

Modern research has suggested that cranberry may prevent urinary tract infections. Cranberry juice (Vaccinium macrocarpon or Vacinnium oxycoccus) has been used for more than a century as a home remedy to prevent and treat urinary tract infection. Cranberry was introduced to European settlers by Native Americans who traditionally used these berries to promote normal urinary tract health. Recent evidence suggests that constituents in cranberry called proanthocyanins prevent bacteria from adhering to the walls of the urinary tract. This is thought to allow urine to wash away the bacteria.

Urinary Tract Health SupportThe urinary tract cleansers with cranberry are more effective than cranberry juice along. Urinary tract cleansers help to prevent infection, get rid of small urinary tract inflammations, and clear out unwanted bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It is good to drink fluids including unsweetened cranberry juice. Consuming plenty of fluids cleanses body by diluting and flushing out the unwanted substance.

If you are looking for an urinary tract cleanser, try New Chapter’s Urinary Tract Take Care (14 vcaps) with Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon). New Chapter mixed cranberry with another esteemed herb, Cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia) that helps support and restore healthy urinary tract function.

Stay healthy,
