“She’s super good!” Comments our naturopath.
The kidneys are too healthy organs in health. However, these are real treatment plants that filter almost 180 liters of blood every day. When the waste present in the urine filtered by the kidneys are too concentrated, crystals form and agglomerate: these are the famous “kidney stones”. They hurt a lot. To prevent them, you must maintain “A richest and varied diet possible, and drink at least 1.5 liters of water per day” The naturopath Inna Touré immediately reminds us. She recommends a special drink, excellent for cleaning the kidneys.
To make it, a flower is enough. “It is not one of the plants traditionally used for kidney health”, notes Inna Touré. However, she combines “A double hypotensive and diuretic effect, which makes it interesting in the prevention of kidney stones”. Its citric and malic acids “support diuresis, that is to say urinating more often “ which dilutes the urine and limits the crystallization of minerals. It also provides anthocyan, antioxidants “Capable of reducing the production of free radicals, with direct profit on cardiovascular health”. A key role, because kidneys and traffic are linked: “If the walls of the veins and arteries are damaged, they become a field favorable to the training of calculations”, specifies the naturopath. Finally, its flavonoids “Promote vasodilation”optimizing the circulation and elimination of waste.
This precious flower is the hibiscus, very popular in West Africa where it gives the famous “bissap” and easily available in France. “”She’s super good! “ comments the naturopath. Its fruity and tangy taste makes it an ideal basis for wellness infusions, provided you choose a quality flower. “In the trade, there are many hibiscus drinks, but their concentration in active ingredients is uncertain.” The right reflex: to provide with a herbalist and prepare your homemade infusion. Two to three cups a day are enough to enjoy its kidney benefits.
For a reinforced action, Inna Touré offers to associate it with other excellent plants for the kidneys but less pleasant to taste. The delicious taste of hibiscus allows for example to appreciate dandelion, a diuretic plant rich in potassium, and birch. The latter is “Refineuralizing and draining: it stimulates the desire to urinate and cleanse the renal system” concludes the naturopath.
