Before doing a liver detoxification, it is important to cleanse or detox your kidneys, after first doing a colon cleanse.

This ensures that both these organs can efficiently and effectively remove the excess toxins released by the liver during a liver cleanse.

Otherwise the toxins released from the liver will return to the bloodstream and go back once more to the liver to be processed and may again be stored! What a sheer waste of liver cleansing? Do you not think so?

It's also important to do a kidney cleanse as a preventive measure, especially if you have been taking coffee, eating chocolates or drinking alcohol, as these increase the probability of getting kidney stones.

If you suffer from any kidney stone symptoms, doing a kidney cleanse or kidney detoxification to dissolve the stones is important to ensure the stones do not grow and cause more pain or even damage the kidney.

Before we get into the cleanses, let us look at kidney stone causes and symptoms of kidney stones.

Causes of Kidney Stones

1. Genes can make a person to be more prone to kidney stones than others.

2. Poor fluid intake creates dehydration which becomes a factor for salts and other compounds crystallizing in the kidneys or ureter to form a renal stone.

3. Some types of medication with high calcium content can cause calcium oxalates and phosphates to be easily deposited.

How Can I Cleanse My Kidney of Any Kidney Stones?

A good kidney cleanse will help remove most of the tiny stones in a few days. However bigger stones can take a few weeks or more depending on the size of the kidney stone.

There are many types of kidney cleanses, but the common factor that is running through all of them is the drinking of copious amounts of water and fruit juices; and avoiding coffee, chocolate and excessive protein.

Let us now look at some kidney cleanses.

Different Types of Kidney Cleanse

1. Fruit Juices

Fruit juices like watermelon juice and cranberry juice are effective kidney cleanses. Continuously eating watermelons or drinking its juice for a day or two is an effective way to dissolve kidney stones. Even though I didn't have any kidney stone symptoms, I did a kidney cleanse by taking watermelon juice and 1.5 liters of water every morning for more than a week. This was to prepare myself for a liver cleanse.

If you have kidney stones, then the large amount of fluids passing through the kidneys will begin loosening and eliminating any stones and as it passes through the micro tubules you may feel some passing sharp or dull pain depending on the type of stones you may have.

2. Dr. Hulda Clark's Herbal Preparation

Dr. Hulda Clark recommends in her book "The Cure For All Diseases", the following herbal preparation for kidney stones:

Ingredients

1/2 cup dried Hydrangea root
1/2 cup Gravel root
1/2 cup Marshmallow root
4 bunches fresh parsley
goldenrod tincture (should be left out if you are allergic to it)
ginger capsules
Uva ursi capsules
Vegetable glycerin
Black Cherry concentrate (8oz.)
Vitamin B6
Magnesium oxide tablets (300 mg.)

Method:

a. Soak the roots for 10 hours in a non-metal container.

b. Add the Black Cherry concentrate, boil and simmer for 20 minutes. Drink a ¼ cup. Strain the rest and freeze in several containers.

c. Boil parsley in a quart of water and drink a ¼ cup when it is cool. Throw away the parsley and refrigerate the rest.

d. Every morning drink combine the following:

3/4 cup root mixture + ½ cup parsley water + 20 drops goldenrod tincture +I tbsp glycerin.

e. Drink the above a little throughout the day. Do not drink all at once as you can get stomach ache and also feel the pressure in the bladder.

f. You can store the roots in the freezer and re-use it a second time on the 13th day with only 6 cups of water. This can be used for another 8 days for a total of 21 days or 3 weeks. After that use fresh herbs.

g. This recipe can be used for 6 weeks to get good results or longer for severe kidney stones.

h. Ginger capsules 3x a day with meals, 1 Uva Ursi tablet for breakfast and 2 for dinner, Vitamin B6 a day before a meal, and 300mg of Magnesium oxide per day before a meal.

This is recommended for those who actually suffer from kidney stones. If you just need to cleanse your kidneys you just need to take lots of watermelon juice or even barley water.


3. Edgar Cayce's Watermelon Seed Tea

Edgar Cayce specifically recommends the Watermelon Seed Tea as a kidney cleanse. It is a diuretic for Kidney Stones and was given in a Cayce reading. It also stimulates under active kidneys. He says:

1. But at least once a day, three days a week, do take watermelon seed tea as a part of the water.

2. 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.

3. Let it cool, then strain and drink.

4. 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 dross (toxins) to be held in the system, and these need to be eliminated from the body.

Keep Yourself Hydrated

Watermelon is one of the most kidney cleansing fruits available. Barley drink or lots of fresh fruit and vegetable juices will also do the trick of cleansing the kidneys.

Nothing beats the effectiveness of water.

So it is beneficial for us to drink lots of the right kinds of fluids and keep ourselves hydrated.

As the nephrons in the kidneys carry out ultra-filtration under pressure, the calcium oxalates, calcium phosphates, uric acids, struvites, bushites etc will not get crystallized and go on to grow into kidney stones.

As dehydration is one of the main causes of kidney stones, drinking lots of fluid daily, especially water, will prevent crystallization of salts from occurring. This is true for those who have healthy kidneys.

It is also very beneficial for those who suffer any kidney stone symptoms. In addition doing one of the types of kidney cleanse or kidney detox described above will be of great help.
