Best Ways To Use Parsley To Dissolve Kidney Stones

Sometimes we are so caught up with our work that drinking water at regular intervals is also forgotten. We realize this only when we fall sick.

Water is the most important fluid required by our body. Our body needs at least 3 litres of water every day. Since our body is made up of 70% water, we need it for our body to function properly.

When our body does not get enough water, it starts showing. Our skin gets dehydrated and loses its shine, the amount of urine decreases and lots of other problems arise.

The root cause of all these problems arises because our body is not able to flush out the toxins. The organ which is responsible for it is our kidneys.

Our kidneys need enough water to function properly and regularly remove toxins from our body. But when it does not get enough water, kidney stones are formed.

Kidney stones are hard stone-like substances formed in the kidneys or the urinary tract because of the excess of mineral content.

The main cause of kidney stones is dehydration. Other reasons such as hereditary and diet can also lead to formation of kidney stones.

Opting for natural remedies may be helpful. There is one natural ingredient which is known to be most effective in removing kidney stones - parsley.

Parsley is a herb which is a source of flavonoids and anti-oxidants that help fight free radical damage, and folic acid and vitamins K and E that prevent calcification.

It also prevents accumulation of calcium oxalate which is a common cause of stone formation. It is also a natural diuretic, meaning it helps to flush out the toxins and excess salts from the body naturally.
