How It Works

Juniper

Juniper berries are found on the evergreen juniper shrub, which grows widely throughout the Northern Hemisphere. Juniper berries have been used traditionally to support the urinary system and help the body maintain proper fluid balance. In European folk medicine, juniper berries were also used for head discomfort, as well as sore and swollen joints. Juniper berries help the body maintain normal levels of uric acid, a waste product that is filtered out by the kidneys and excreted in urine. Research suggests that juniper berries help increase urine flow without the loss of electrolytes. Juniper berries also help stimulate the production of digestive fluids and have been used to settle the stomach and improve appetite.

Parsley

Parsley is a rich source of nutrients, including numerous vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. For example, parsley contains vitamins A and C which are essential for healthy immune system function. Parsley also contains potassium, which helps balance sodium levels, and manganese to help manage calcium levels and nourish the nerves. Parsley contains a lot of chlorophyll too, which acts as a natural deodorizer. Centuries of folk use teach us that parsley was employed for urinary and kidney support, detoxification and more.

Uva Ursi

Uva ursi leaf has long been linked to the urinary system and kidney health. Uva ursi has traditionally been used to help ease irritation of the urinary tract and support healthy urinary function. Uva ursi has natural diuretic properties that help flush out fluids from the body, reducing swelling and lowering the presence of foreign invaders at the same time. Plus, uva ursi provides urinary astringent actions and helps support healthy microbial balance in the bladder and urinary tract. Uva ursi leaf contains arbutin, an active ingredient that combats harmful microorganisms in the urinary system and promotes a healthy inflammatory response.

Dandelion

Dandelion has been part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for thousands of years. Herbalists consider this plant one of the most nutrient-rich in the plant kingdom as it's a source of many important minerals and vitamins. The entire plant is edible and the roots have long been associated with digestion and hepatic (liver) health. Dandelion has also been studied for its potential support for the immune system. Plus, dandelion has been used traditionally to encourage urine output as an aid to flushing out the urinary tract.

Chamomile

Chamomile is one of the oldest and most well documented medicinal plants in the world. Chamomile has been used traditionally for urinary system complaints. It is said to mildly stimulate urine flow and may also soothe urinary tract irritation. Chamomile also stimulates and supports digestive and immune functions.
