Kidney
Cleansing Recipes
What is "Kidney Cleanse" ?
Kidney cleanse is a procedure which is used to dissolve Kidney stones -
stones formed inside kidneys. Main symptom of kidney stones is a pain in
the lower and middle back (kidney area, or spine), but as that pain can
be excruciating, some people may feel the pain in different parts of
their body.
There are hundreds of herbal recipes, and many different homeopathic
remedies used for cleansing kidney stones.
According to the first hand experience, the best recipe is Edgar
Cayce's:
Watermelon Seed Tea for KIDNEY STONES (Remedy
1695-2)
Watermelon seed tea is a diuretic
recommended in the Cayce readings, particularly as a stimulant to
cleanse and purify the kidneys and bladder.
INDICATIONS AND USAGE
Watermelon seed tea was specifically recommended by Edgar Cayce for
kidney stones. It was also suggested to simulate under-active kidneys.
CONTRA-INDICATIONS
No known contra-indications.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
At least once a day, three days a week, take watermelon seed tea
prepared by pouring a pint of boiling water over a tablespoonful of
watermelon seed (ground or cut) and allowing it to steep. Let it cool,
then strain and drink. If practical, the tea should be made fresh for
each use.
Cayce Quote On Remedy 1695-2
But at least once a day, three days a week, do take watermelon seed tea
as a part of the water. This would be prepared by pouring a pint of
boiling water over a tablespoonful of watermelon seed (ground or cut)
and allowing it to steep. Let it cool, then strain and drink. This will
clarify those conditions that cause reactions in the kidneys and
bladder, for, the lack of eliminations and the slowing up of the
circulation causes a greater quantity of drosses to be held in the
system, and these need to be eliminated from the body.
More will be eliminated through using this stimuli for the kidney
activity than in most any way.
Celery Seed Tea
At least once a day, three days a
week, take Celery seed tea prepared by pouring a pint of boiling water
over a tablespoonful of Celery seeds (freshly ground or cut) and
allowing it to steep. Let it cool, then strain and drink. If practical,
the tea should be made fresh for each use.
It is very potent in case of Kidney Stones, and chronic kidney diseases.
Avoid in pregnancy because it is a uterine stimulant!
Celery seeds have a direct action on the kidneys, increasing the
elimination of water and speeding up the clearance of accumulated toxins
from the joints.
Celery seeds are very helpful for people suffering from an over supply
of uric acid. Celery has large amounts of potassium and organic sodium
that help to rid the body of waste material by stimulating various sites
such as the skin, bowels and kidneys. It re-balances the acid/alkaline
in the system and may help prevent certain cancers.
Herb facts:
Celery is a biennial plant indigenous to southern Europe, Asia, and
Africa. It is also found in North and South America. Celery grows in
damp places and resembles domestic celery, except that it has a less
agreeable taste and is smaller in size. In its second year the plant
produces an angular furrowed stem reaching three feet in height. It
bears dark green leaves that are opposite, shiny, and primate, having
incised, wedge-shaped, toothed leaflets.
Properties And Uses
• Antispasmodic - relieves or prevents spasms, usually of the
smooth muscles; barbiturates and valerian are examples of
antispasmodics.
• Appetizer - a substance which stimulates the appetite
• Aromatic - an agent with an agreeable odour and other
stimulating qualities.
• Carminative - an agent which assists in the expelling gas from
the intestines.
• Diuretic - Diuretics form a class of drugs, which increase the
volume of urine produced by the kidneys. It can be used effectively to
treat mild cases of oedema when kidney function is good and when the
underlying abnormality of cardiac function, capillary pressure, or salt
retention is being corrected simultaneously. Diuretics are not an
appropriate treatment for oedema caused by inflammation of the kidneys,
and are useless in cardiac oedema associated with advanced kidney
insufficiency.
• Emmenagogue - an agent, which stimulates menstrual flow.
• Sedative - Sedatives are a class of drugs which function to
quiet nervous excitement and reduce motor activity without inducing
sleep. They are used in the management of neuroses and in the treatment
of anxiety and apprehension accompanying various disease states such as
hypertension. Sedatives commonly function to induce reversible
depression of the central nervous system.
• Stimulant - an agent that temporarily increases the activity
or physiological processes. Stimulants may be classified according to
the organ upon which they act; for example, an intestinal stimulant is
that which stimulates the intestines.
• Tonic - an agent, which strengthens or tones.
• Celery produces perspiration and is useful for nervousness. It
should be cooked with milk and eaten freely to neutralize uric acid and
other excess acids in the body, thus aiding in the treatment of
rheumatism.
• Celery is useful for headaches when taken as a tea. The seeds
and stems have been used in Australia as an acid neutralizer.
• Celery seed is used almost exclusively as a diuretic. Since it
is very powerful, it is often used alone in severe cases of gout, oedema,
and dropsy. At other times, small amounts are added to diuretic herbal
blends to provide reliable action. The herb is also used to treat kidney
and bladder disorders, but is avoided if the kidneys are inflamed.
• Celery seed is sometimes used as a carminative and
anti-spasmodic in the digestive system. This action depends on the
presence of its volatile oil. Celery has been used on occasion for
rheumatism and arthritis, although its efficacy against those ailments
has not been established.
• Celery plant, not the seed, is purported to be emmenagogic.
