How to Reverse Kidney Disease With Herbs

Your kidney's main function is to clean your blood. As blood flows into the kidneys, the wastes and toxins from the blood are filtered and sent to the urine where it is flushed from the body when you urinate. Using a select few herbs, you can help your kidneys to function better especially if you have had a bout of acute kidney damage.


  1. Take L-Carnitine for liver damage.
    This is an amino acid that helps turn fat into energy within the
    body. The kidneys also produce carnitine, but when there is kidney
    damage, most people tend to be deficient in this nutrient.
    Therefore, supplementation may be helpful to help restore kidney
    function and reverse some of the damage.

  2. Take grape seed extract. For the
    past 6,000 the Egyptians have been using grapes in a number of ways
    including the treatment of kidney damage. Grape seed extract is an
    excellent antioxidant, which is always beneficial for the body
    because it acts to clean the body internally and can be useful to
    take for kidney damage.

  3. Use a good eicosapentaenoic acid
    (EPA). EPA is one of the omega-3 acids that the body uses. It can
    have positive effects on many functions of the body including the
    kidneys. EPA can help restore and help kidney function as well as
    help with a myriad of other illnesses including diabetes type 2,
    which many people with kidney damage have. You can take EPA as a
    supplement, which is the best way to get enough since eating fish
    can cause too much uric acid that some people with kidney disease
    have too much of.
