Improve Kidney Function (GFR) Naturally with Herbal Treatment

Certain herbs are known for their ability to improve the health and function of your kidneys. The following herbs may be helpful in preventing kidney stones: uva ursi, corn silk, gravel root, horsetail, mullein and buchu. Herbs that support the general functioning of your kidneys include ginkgo, sage, ginseng, rhubarb and astragalus. Milk thistle, dandelion and cayenne are sometimes used as adjunct herbal therapies.
Astragalus is an herb that is often used to improve the health and function of your kidneys. The root of the astragalus plant is used medicinally and may be ingested via soups, teas, extracts or capsules. Astragalus has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and adaptogenic action; helps encourage tissue regeneration; and protects the function of your kidneys. Astragalus contains saponins and polysaccharides -- two of its most significant active constituents.

Cranberries
Cranberries contain proanthocyanidins. PACs prohibit E. coli bacteria from attaching to the surfaces of the urinary tract. They also acidify the urine and decrease the amount of bacteria in the kidneys.

Dandelion
Dandelion is high in potassium and other minerals. It works as a liver cleanser, a digestive aid and a natural diuretic. Dandelion also has anti-inflammatory properties that help with such problems as nephritis.

Marshmallow Root
Marshmallow root is beneficial as a cleanser for the kidneys. It acts as a diuretic by increasing the flow of urine through the kidneys. This, in turn, acts as a flush for the kidneys and prevents the buildup of kidney stones.

Corn silk
Corn silk is known to reduce water retention and edema. It also flushes the kidneys and works as a diuretic. Corn silk can be made into a tea or taken in capsule form for added convenience.
