Kidneys

Kidneys are paired organs which are a part of our urinary system.

They are responsible for the production of urine and several other important functions of the body which include regulation of blood pressure, electrolytes and acid-base balance.

Excretion of urea and other wastes along with the re-absorption of amino acids and glucose are all functions of the kidneys.

As can be seen kidneys are very important organs of out body. Although it is not very difficult to keep these healthy, there are still a lot of people who neglect the health of these organs.

Such neglect can result in a number of kidney related disorders including kidney infections and kidney stones.

These seeds should be mashed to a fine paste and then this paste should be added to a cup of horse gram soup.

This remedy is great for dissolving any small or big stones in the kidneys.

This fruit has the highest water content amongst all others. It also has high concentrations of potassium.

Both these factors when combined make it very effective in treating all kidney related disorders and also for the general health of the kidneys.

Water:

Stressing the importance of water for the general health of the kidneys is imperative.

Drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water in a day can flush out all toxins and gravel from the kidneys thereby making it much more difficult for the salts to collect in the tissues and form stones in the kidney.
