Uncle Chuckie, the doctor gave me some water pills. Do you know of any diuretics?
There are a few natural diuretics you can use. One thing I don't like about water pills is that instead of helping your body naturally rid itself of excess fluids, it forces it out. And there are a few side effect that goes along with it like; dizziness, muscle cramps and weakness, increase blood sugar, stomach problems like gas, nausea and vomiting, rash, and they also decrease the amount of potassium in the blood.
Apple cider vinegar, celery and dandelion leaf are high in potassium and have good diuretic properties. Tomatoes releases excessive body fluids and increase metabolism.
Cranberry juice helps maintain pH levels and good for kidney function.
Brussels sprouts stimulates the kidneys and pancreas.
Parsley, juniper berries and uva ursi stimulates the kidneys and flushes out excessive fluids.
Watermelon has plenty of natural water and potassium and helps to eliminate toxins.
Cucumbers also has plenty of natural water and they stimulate the kidneys also.
Green tea is a great diuretic.
Beets attack body fat and fatty deposits.
A lymphatic massage will help to move lymph flow and improve body circulation and help the body rid itself of excessive fluids and toxins.
Whatever you decide to do, make sure you are drinking plenty of water throughout the day. The first thing you should do when you wake up in the morning is to drink at least 8oz of water to hydrate your organs.
Exercise and meditate.
What is uva ursi and di I find it at Whole Foods Market, or a natural health food store?
ReplyDeleteUva Ursi is a leaf herb.I'm not sure if Whole Foods have bulk herbs. Health Food Stores for sure. You can get it as a tea or in a capsule It will work best with Juniper berries and parsley. If you can find Nature's Way Bladder & Kidney I would get that. Take it for two weeks straight, take a week off then finish the bottle. Or just the tea is fine.
