The kidney is an organ that plays a role in filtering the blood and eliminating toxins through urine. However, a diet high in salt, low in water and arbitrary use of medication can overload the kidneys, impair filtering function and affect the entire body.
According to Healthline, there are a number of natural methods that can help support detoxification and rehabilitation of the kidneys. One of them is molasses tea (smelly tea) - a folk medicine widely used in India, Mexico and Vietnam.
The simple formula is as follows:
- A handful of fresh, cleaned congee leaves
- Boil with 1 liter of water for about 10 - 15 minutes
- To cool, filter out the water to drink throughout the day (can be kept in the refrigerator for 1-2 days)
Corn leaf is rich in antioxidants, vitamins A, C, K and natural anti-inflammatory compounds such as quercetin and borneol. These active ingredients help diuretic slightly, increase the excretion of toxins through urine and support electrolyte balance in the body.
In addition, you can combine corn silk water, dried worms or celery in your daily menu to increase the cleaning effect.
Note: This method only supports healthy kidneys, not a substitute for medical treatment. People with underlying kidney disease should consult a doctor before using.
