Kidney cleansing

The kidneys are an organ without which the body cannot exist, because they are designed to remove waste products: excess water, salts, toxins, and other harmful substances. The organ is a kind of filter on which sand (fine powder) settles. Under normal metabolic processes, the kidneys themselves cope with their own cleansing, but if this is not the case, stones (calculi) can form, they grow and cause suffering to a person, and sometimes even threaten life. To prevent such phenomena, they turn to kidney cleansing.

The day before the procedure, he recommends taking a laxative in the morning and evening (dissolve a bag of magnesium in 250 g of water, divide into 2 portions). Add a little sorbitol to the rosehip infusion. Drink a glass of the drink in the morning and lie down for half an hour on a heating pad, repeat after an hour and again. In this way, not only the kidneys are cleansed, but also the liver. Neumyvakin suggests using rosehip organ cleansing once a month.
