About this program

The kidneys filter roughly 50 gallons of blood a day, and when urine output is low or oxalate/uric acid levels run high, that filtration load can concentrate into painful crystals. This is one of the gentler programs in the catalog, built around diuretic, urinary-tract herbs — cleavers, horsetail, and dandelion leaf to increase urine flow, juniper berry and uva ursi for urinary tract support, and punarnava, a classic Ayurvedic kidney herb — designed to increase flow rather than force anything, which is why it's rated Gentle even at a full week long.

How it works

Hydration Loading spends the first stretch simply building up fluid intake and diuretic herb levels before asking more of the kidneys; the Active Flush phase is where urine output and herb dosing both peak to maximize crystal clearance; and Maintenance eases back to a sustainable, lower-intensity level to consolidate the gains.

Goal

Increase urine output, dissolve early-stage kidney stones, reduce uric acid crystallisation, eliminate urinary tract pathogens, and restore healthy kidney filtration.

Benefits

Reduced kidney stone riskImproved urinary flowRelief from UTI symptomsReduced ankle oedemaBetter blood pressureImproved skin hydration

Is this right for you?

Beginner-friendly — minimal dietary restriction, suitable as a first detox program.

Best suited to anyone prone to kidney stones, with a family history of them, or noticing symptoms like cloudy urine, mild flank discomfort, or ankle swelling — always paired with real medical evaluation if a stone is suspected, since herbal support isn't a substitute for imaging or emergency care.

🌅

Morning Flush

On waking

500ml warm water with fresh lemon juice

Cleavers & Horsetail Tea — steep 8–10 min before breakfast

Cleavers (Galium aparine) — Powerful lymphatic and kidney tonic — increases urinary output gently

Uva Ursi Leaf Tea — steep 8–10 min

Juniper Berry (Juniperus communis) — Strong diuretic and antiseptic for the urinary tract

🌙

Wind Down

Hydration Loading

Days 1–2

Target 3 litres of filtered water daily — set hourly reminders.

Begin Cleavers + Horsetail tea (2 tsp each, steep 15 min) — drink 3 cups daily.

Add fresh lemon juice to all water — citrate inhibits stone formation.

Remove all oxalate-rich foods: spinach, beets, rhubarb, chocolate, nuts.

Reduce sodium intake to under 1500mg daily — sodium promotes calcium stone formation.

Active Flush

Days 3–6

Add Juniper Berry tincture (15 drops) to morning water — do not exceed 2 weeks' use.

Brew Uva Ursi tea (1 tsp per cup, max 2 cups daily) — alkalises urine.

Drink watermelon juice (500ml fresh) each morning — natural diuretic.

Take Punarnava capsule (500mg) twice daily with meals.

Eat a low-protein diet — excess animal protein raises uric acid.

Consume asparagus, celery, cucumber, and parsley generously — all kidney-supportive.

Warm compress on lower back (kidney area) for 20 minutes daily to increase local circulation.

Maintenance

Day 7

Continue Dandelion Leaf tea as ongoing daily support.

Maintain 2.5 litre water target permanently.

Introduce magnesium supplement (400mg glycinate) — reduces oxalate absorption.

Schedule kidney function blood test 30 days after cleanse.

Sample daily eating

Hydrating, mineral-light meals built around diuretic fruits and vegetables that increase urine flow without taxing the kidneys with excess protein, sodium, or oxalates.

Breakfast

Watermelon and Cucumber slices with a glass of Lemon water

Cooked grains with Celery and Parsley stirred in

Lunch

Steamed Asparagus and Celery over Cooked grains

Cucumber and Watermelon salad with fresh Parsley

Dinner

Steamed fish (moderate portion) with Asparagus and Cooked grains

Celery and Parsley soup with a side of Cooked grains

Snacks

Watermelon or Cucumber slices

Lemon water and Herbal teas throughout the day

Lean on Watermelon, Cucumber, Asparagus, Celery, and Parsley all day, sip Lemon water and Herbal teas between meals, and keep protein light — Steamed fish in moderation, if at all — so the diuretic herbs and foods can do the actual flushing work.

Cleavers & Horsetail Tea

Steep 8–10 minutes in freshly boiled water; strain and drink warm.

Uva Ursi Leaf Tea

Steep 8–10 minutes in freshly boiled water; strain and drink warm.
