Action of diuretic herbal teas
Essential to life, the kidneys perform several functions in the body. They produce certain hormones and transform vitamins, notably vitamin D. They are also responsible for maintaining a constant quantity of water and mineral salts in the body.
The kidneys are above all perceived as real filters: by evacuating them in the urine, they eliminate waste transported by the blood, mainly urea and creatinine.
Any substance or preparation, such as a herbal tea, is considered a diuretic, as long as it acts on the kidneys. These increase the amount of urine produced, then eliminate more water and salt.
Drinking lots of water is good: an effective diuretic herbal tea is better!
Health professionals advise drinking at least one and a half liters of water per day. For more flavor, add plants with special properties: you will obtain a delicious diuretic herbal tea.
The taste of your diuretic herbal tea is a real pleasure and encourages you to consume more liquid, essential for your body. Drink plenty of fluids to increase the volume of your urine and eliminate more toxins.
