Herb Properties
Nettle (Urtica dioica)
In Europe, Nettle leaf is lovingly called the washing powder for the body. The high content of minerals like calcium, magnesium and iron, trace minerals, vitamins (A & C) and enzymes made it famous as a blood cleansing and blood forming herb. It stimulates the secretions of glands in the stomach, liver, pancreas and gall bladder which are all needed for a healthy digestive system and proper cleansing of the body. Nettle leaf strengthens and supports the whole body, has a stimulating action on the bladder and kidneys and helps to cleanse the body of toxins and wastes which reflects in a healthy skin. Specifically, it aids the excretion of uric acid making it an excellent remedy for arthritis and gout. The stinging hairs of fresh nettle contain formic acid and histamine and have been traditionally used to relieve pain in arthritis, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatic nerve problems and neuralgia. Nettle leaf is a real treasure in terms of its abundant mineral and trace mineral content and helps to re-mineralise wasted cartilage and connective tissue, especially beneficial in arthritis.

Birch leaves (Betula pendula)
In European countries this herb is treasured as a top all-round cleansing and re-mineralising remedy; its cleansing diuretic activity with an antiseptic action is beneficial for discomfort and inflammation in the urinary tract system and acts as a kidney tonic. It can increase the volume of urine by 5-6 times, which makes it a prime remedy for relieving oedema and cystitis. It has a high content of minerals (e.g. calcium, magnesium) and amongst other nutrients also flavonoids, saponins, tannins, bitters, vitamin C and essential oils, which help to cleanse the tissue from uric acid & bodily wastes. The salicylic acid present also acts as an anti-inflammatory. It is used as an effective remedy for gout, rheumatic and mild arthritic pain.

Golden Rod (Solidago virgaurea)
Modern phytotherapy considers this herb one of the best kidney remedies available to us. It is excellent in relieving oedema, painful cystitis and waste accumulation due to a sluggish metabolism. It promotes proper evacuation of urine in prostate enlargement and helps to cleanse tissue in gout and rheumatism. Golden Rod's anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, diuretic and wound-healing properties make it a potent kidney and urinary tract remedy indeed, in both acute and chronic conditions.

Horsetail (Equtum arvense)
One of the oldest plants on earth with beneficial toning properties for the urinary system. The high content of silica helps to strengthen connective tissue and acts as an excellent astringent and bladder tonic suitable for treating incontinence and bed-wetting. As a mild diuretic it promotes the function of a weak kidney and bladder and soothes painful irritations and infections of the urinary tract. As a cleansing tonic it is most suitable for chronic arthritis and gout.

Raspberry leaves (Rubus idaeus)
A treasured anti-inflammatory and astringent herb that soothes and tones the mucus membranes of the kidneys and urinary tract. It is a general tonic that helps to strengthen the function of the bladder, kidneys and uterus.
