There are many herbs that have traditionally been used to nourish and tone the kidneys including Uva Ursi, Juniper berry, Cramp Bark, Ginger, Goldenseal root, Marshmallow root (mucilaginous) and Parsley herb.

The kidneys are able to repair themselves to some extent, depending on the age and general health of the person. Your kidney protection plan should include drinking plenty of water - at least 6 to 8 glasses per day. This is particularly helpful in preventing kidney stones. Remember, the kidneys are not able to function to the best of their ability on tea or coffee!

It contains herbs that have antiseptic and diuretic properties along with soothing and mucous membrane tonics. It also contains herbs that act as mild circulatory stimulants and antispasmodics.
