Natural Diuretic

Taurine also acts as a natural diuretic by keeping potassium and

magnesium inside cells and keeping excess sodium out.

Such mineral balance is crucial for heart vitality and overall

wellness.

However, unlike prescription diuretics, taurine is not a cellular

poison and it does not act against the kidneys.

In fact, taurine has been proposed for treatment of several kinds of

human kidney disorders.

Dandelion is a natural diuretic that increases urine production by

promoting the excretion of salts and water from the kidney.

Dandelion may be used for a wide range of conditions requiring mild

diuretic treatment, such as poor digestion, liver disorders, and high

blood pressure.

One advantage of dandelion is that dandelion is a source of

potassium, a nutrient often lost through the use of other natural and

synthetic diuretics.

Some preliminary animal studies also suggest that dandelion may help

normalize blood sugar levels and improve lipid profiles [namely,

lowering total cholesterol and triglycerides while increasing HDL

( " good " ) cholesterol] in diabetic mice.

However, not all animal studies have had the same positive effect on

blood sugar.

In addition, research needs to be conducted on people to know if this

traditional use for diabetes (see Overview) has modern-day merit.

By regulating water balance and the potassium-sodium balance, B6 may

help flush excess water out of the body.

As a natural diuretic, it may be useful for people who are trying to

drop water weight prior to competition.

Make note that there are more potent natural diuretics and that loss

of water weight can negatively affect performance and is, of course,

quite temporary.

Watermelon, too is a natural diuretic.

to make a dandelion tincture is very easy and this is the time to make

it. Dig the roots ( make sure from places from where there was no

herbicide spraying), scrub well, put int he blender with some high proof

vodka. Let it steep well for a few eeks than filter. Take 2/3 tsp on

some hot tea to evaporate the alcohol. It's what I do.

Dandelion is one of out most powerful herbal medicines and it galls me

every time I see the ads to attack them in our lawns

In spring before they flower, the leaves make a great addition to

salads, they also loose their bitterness when put into a sandwich

instead of other lettuce.

That is very interesting. I have seen dandelion supplements, but I

didn't realize that the roots an leaves were safe to use. How about

canteloupe? Will that work like watermelon? I am just a little

concerned about using fruits as the high sugar content and I my sugar

levels are too high with these steroids.
