Introduction:
Your kidneys are vital detoxifiers, working tirelessly to filter waste, balance fluids, and regulate blood pressure. Over time, however, lifestyle habits, dehydration, and dietary choices can place a burden on the urinary system. Luckily, nature offers a wealth of herbal allies that can gently assist in flushing toxins and supporting kidney function. This gentle herbal tea blend harnesses the power of time-honored botanicals to help promote urinary tract health, reduce inflammation, and support the body’s natural detox pathways.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon dried dandelion root (natural diuretic, supports liver and kidney)
1 tablespoon dried nettle leaf (rich in minerals, reduces inflammation)
1 tablespoon dried parsley leaf (mild diuretic, supports urinary flow)
1 teaspoon dried corn silk (soothes urinary tract lining)
1 teaspoon dried horsetail (strengthens kidney and bladder tissues)
1/2 teaspoon dried ginger root (boosts circulation, reduces inflammation)
3 cups filtered water
Optional: raw honey or lemon slice (for flavor)
Directions:
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil.
Reduce heat to low and add all the dried herbs.
Cover and simmer for 15–20 minutes to extract the medicinal properties.
Remove from heat and let steep for an additional 10 minutes.
Strain the tea into a mug using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth.
Add honey or lemon if desired, and enjoy warm.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: Drink 1 cup of this herbal tea up to twice a day, preferably in the morning and early afternoon to avoid late-night urination.
Storage: Store any leftover tea in the refrigerator in a sealed glass jar for up to 48 hours. Reheat gently before drinking.
For best results, consume the tea regularly for 5–7 days, followed by a break to allow the body to rebalance naturally.
