Natural Kidney Cleansing In One Week

A balanced diet ensures well-being and vitality. It is also a good idea to keep the kidney area warm to take care of these important organs.

The kidneys are responsible, among other things, for ridding the body of pollutants and for regulating body fluids. These vital organs need to be cared for accordingly, so in this article we explain how you can do a one-week, natural kidney cleanse.

It is advisable to repeat this very simple method once or twice a year. 

Recommendations for a natural kidney cleanse

During the weeklong Kidney Cleanse, try to avoid the following foods :

• milk and milkproducts
• Meat, especially no red meat or sausage
• seafood
• White sugar
• refined salt or table salt
• alcoholic drinks
• coffee
• tobacco

If you are taking medication, you must consult a doctor beforehand,   otherwise contraindications may arise. Ideally, you should do the natural kidney cleanse when you are not on medication.

Tea made from horsetail and pineapple peel

Drink a liter of tea made from horsetail and pineapple pods a day, washed well and cut into pieces before cooking.

The horsetail is boiled for 10 minutes and then takes 5 minutes to draw, the pineapple peel, on the other hand, is boiled for 20 minutes and takes about 10 minutes to cool down. You can cook both separately or just add the horsetail after 10 minutes.

As soon as the tea is lukewarm, you can sweeten it with a little stevia if necessary. Then drink a liter of it over the morning outside of meals, so you avoid going to the toilet at night.

This tea is rich in minerals, such as silicon, and helps clear excess fluids from the body and reduce any inflammation in the kidneys . If you suffer from a urinary tract infection, you can also use bearberry for the tea for a natural kidney cleanse.

Nutrition for natural kidney cleansing

Pay special attention to your diet in order to achieve the desired results. Before and after the one-week kidney cleanse, diet is also crucial so that the change is not too radical for the organism.

breakfast

For breakfast you can treat yourself to a shake with fruit and oat or rice milk. A couple of whole grain toasts with sesame puree (tahini), avocado or garlic with oil are also recommended.

Having lunch

You should start your lunch daily with an onion broth first.

The broth is prepared as follows: first bring half a liter of water with an onion to a boil. Then season the broth with a little parsley, lemon and a pinch of sea salt and cayenne pepper.

As a second course, you then choose one of the following variants. However, you should prepare a different dish every day:

• Whole grain rice with legumes
• white meat with salad
• Fish with fried vegetables
• Cereals (millet, quinoa, oat flakes) with pesto sauce (fresh basil, pine nuts or nuts, garlic, oil and a pinch of sea salt, everything grind well)
• Pancakes and guacamole with rice cookies or corn crackers
• Whole wheat pasta with mushrooms and peas
• Salad made from tomatoes, rocket, avocado, cucumber, dried fruit, corn, olives and boiled egg, with a piece of wholemeal toast

dinner

For dinner, a vegetable cream (made from cabbage, leek, carrots, pumpkin, zucchini, onions, etc.) is prepared daily, which is then cooked with a teaspoon of turmeric and a tablespoon of oatmeal.

We also recommend a baked apple with dried fruits for dessert.

Occasionally

If you feel hungry during the morning or afternoon, you can eat fruit or dried fruits (dates, plums, dried apricots, etc.).

You have to drink lots of water

It is important to drink plenty of water throughout the day, but not with meals. Adapt your water consumption to your rhythm of life, the season, etc.

You shouldn’t be overdoing this, though. If you have kidney infection, you should discuss the amount of fluids you need with your doctor.

We recommend a glass of lukewarm water in the morning on an empty stomach so that the body gets going.

Warmth for the kidneys

The kidneys and liver are organs that benefit from direct heat because they cool down quickly.  In this case, warmth means more well-being and vitality.

You can also use an electric blanket or hot water bottle to keep the kidneys warm for a short time each day  . A warming massage or a wool blanket are also recommended, especially in the cold seasons.
