I am doing a kidney cleanse at the moment for a few weeks by steeping celery seeds in boiling water and drinking 1-2 cups a day 3-4 times a week. I haven't tried this before but it seems like an easy and natural way to cleanse the kidneys. To get all the benefits of longer steeping, don't discard the used seeds and simply add another tablespoon the next time you steep.
Celery Seed Tea:
- 1 tablespoon of celery seeds
- 8 oz of boiling water
- Pour the boiling water over the seeds and steep until cooled. Drink up!
I dug up some facts on celery seeds and using this method as a cleanse. These are one of the more important things I found:
- Lowers Blood Pressure: This is very important to know for people suffering from high blood pressure. However, this doesn't solve the cause of the elevated blood pressure so use it as a medicine until the cause is taken care of.
- Calcium: I'm not sure how much calcium you will get from the tea, I guess you can eat the seeds as well after drinking the tea to get the calcium.
- Relieving Joint Pains: Some reported studies on this.
- Diuretic: Good for reducing swelling before important events :)
- Assists in Liver Cleansing: This is good to take in conjunction with a liver cleanse.
The key is to take this tea in moderation as it has other properties to it that can worsen certain conditions but is excellent as a short term cleanser. I will try it out as a kidney cleanser these next few weeks and see what has improved.
