Herb Tea 101:
My "whole teapot" method and favorite herbs

  

Give your liver and kidneys a break:

Cut back or eliminate highly acidic foods such as coffee

Cut back or eliminate foods high in oxalic acid such as black tea and chocolate to prevent new stones from forming

Cut back or eliminate foods high in phosphates that form crystals such as meats, breads, cereals, pastas, and carbonated drinks.

A great KIDNEY CLEANSE
It takes 6 weeks but it's an easy one to do. It involves drinking a root decoction mixture with a few other ingredients daily along with dosages of these in capsules: 3 of ginger and uva ursi, 250mg of Vitamin B6, and 300mg of magnesium oxide. I try to make my own capsules or buy tested brands like Now or Nature's Way.

Root Mixture
You need to buy twice the amount of root mixture ingredients for your 2nd batch during the cleanse if you freeze and reprocess the herbs [see reconstituting herbs]

For each new batch: Soak 1/4 cup each of these dried roots in 10 cups drinking water in a non-metal pot and lid for 4 hours:
Hydrangea (Hydrangea arborescens) common flowering bush, Gravel (Eupatorium purpureum) wildflower, Marshmallow (Althea officinallis) pain killing mucilaginous plant. Boil and then simmer 20 minutes; cool 20 minutes. Drain and squeeze liquid and add 8 oz black cherry juice concentrate. Cool further and refrigerate.

Reconstituting herbs
Drain and freeze the roots in air-tight containers til you run out of the liquid. Then boil the roots in 6 cups water, but only simmer them for 10 minutes. When the liquid runs out, start over with fresh herbs for the 2nd half of the cleanse.

Parsley juice
It takes 2 bunches of fresh parsley for one of two methods: 1 fresh sprig of parsley a day, maybe 1/3 cup blended in 1/2 cup or more drinking water for adding to this day's root mixture ...or boil 2 bunches in a scant quart of drinking water for 3 minutes if you can't make it fresh. Cool, drain off, and refrigerate. Note: greens are a good promoter of bile flow so I think any greens for the parsley would do.

 
Putting it All Together Daily
To 3/4 cup of the root mixture from the frig, add 1/2 cup parsley juice and a dropperful of goldenrod tincture [optional: smell first to check for skin reaction] and up to 1 T vegetable glycerin. Drink slowly for breakfast and take one of all the capsules. Eat something right away. Before lunch and dinner, take a ginger and uva ursi for a total of three each.
.I became interested in this longevity and energy-giving way to eat after doing some body work to improve digestion. I did a colon cleanse followed by a kidney and then a liver cleanse.
