Goldenrod
Goldenrod is used to tone the urinary tract and detoxify the kidneys. Clinical trials in animals suggest that goldenrod may reduce inflammation and fight infections, and is a diuretic.
The effective plants include Solidago species, not Verbascum densiflorum. If you are allergic to ragweed, chrysanthemums, marigolds and others, you should avoid taking goldenrod.
Goldenrod is often taken as a tea or tincture.
Hydrangea root is a solvent and may smooth the ragged edges of kidney
stones and also helps the body use calcium properly. There are ongoing trials
on the efficacy of hydrangea root and autoimmune diseases, diabetes,
and arthritis. Hydrangea root is commonly available as tinctures or
dried roots in capsules.
It is thought to be safe to take for a few days, but not long term. The dosage should be less than 2 grams at a time.
Horsetail

edema, reduce bladder and kidney stones, help with incontinence and
cure UTIs. It may be helpful to support the kidneys. It is generally
taken as a tea or capsule.

Celery seeds and celery root (celeriac) are diuretics. Diuretics may
help flush out kidney and celery root is considered stimulating for the
kidneys because it contains potassium and sodium.

Gravel root or Joe Pye weed is also known a kidney root because of
its long association with kidney health. Gravel root contains euparin.
This solvent has potent activity against harmful organisms and may
protect against kidney infections. It is also used for UTIs, gout and kidney stones.
However, it contains hepatotoxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids which may cause liver damage, cancer and birth defects. If you use gravel root, look for “hepatotoxic PA-free” on the label. Otherwise it is considered unsafe.
Uva-ursi or bearberry is an astringent that soothes and tones the
urinary tracts and has evidence for cleansing the kidneys. It has been
used as a folk cure for infections. A clinical trial in the UK shows that ibuprofen and uva-ursi have alleviated mild, uncomplicated UTIs without use of antibiotics.
Uva-ursi is generally taken as a tea or capsule. Uva-ursi is not safe in large doses or long-term.
Marshmallow root is used as a flavoring and may calm urinary tract
tissues. It is a gentle diuretic and known to soothe mucus membranes.
Marshmallow root appears to have many health benefits and is common in
herbal remedies. It also has antibacterial properties and fights
inflammation.
If using as a kidney cleanser, a tea is probably the most effective form. Marshmallow root is considered likely safe.
Dandelions are nutritious and have some great health benefits. Dandelion root is a
diuretic and the entire plant is filled with anti-oxidants that prevent
cell damage. As a side benefit, it fights inflammation and helps
control blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and reduces cholesterol.
Take as a tea, capsule, or tincture. Dandelion root is considered safe as a food and possibly safe in medicinal amounts. If you are allergic to dandelions, ragweed, daisies, chrysanthemums, and marigolds don’t use this kidney cleanser.
Here is the freebie herb. Parsley is not just for garnish. Chew it to freshen the breath and eat it as a diuretic. It is incredibly high in vitamin K. Don’t at parsley when taking blood thinners because of the vitamin K content.
Take these herbs in moderation as some are possibly unsafe in large doses. Some of these, like dandelion, grow in your garden and can be made into a tasty salad as well as a healthy tea. Just don’t spray with pesticides and herbicides first!
The final tip is to drink lots of water while taking any of these herbs so that your kidneys have lots of water to work with.
