Uses:
• Fluid retention
• Kidney tonic
• Kidney stones
• Detox
Description:
The herb Solidago is a traditional kidney tonic. It is a small, herbaceous
plant found in temperate countries, often in the natural flora of grassy mountainous
areas.
How it works:
Whilst Solidago has diuretic action, this is not the prime role of the plant.
Solidago has been shown to have important anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic
and antiseptic action and seems to strengthen kidney function. This makes
it useful as an agent to counter inflammation and irritation of the kidneys
when infection or stones are present. The diuretic action is also useful in
helping to dissolve kidney stones.
Improving kidney function supports the body in removing toxins, making it
a useful part of a detoxification programme.
Additional advice:
Consult a Doctor if a urinary tract condition persists or if it is accompanied
by bleeding, fever, nausea or vomiting.
