One of the major functions of the kidneys is to flush out waste products, toxins and excess fluid from the body through urine. It is very essential to detoxify our kidneys since it also helps purify the blood. And, like the way we clean the filter of a water purifier without fail, similarly, it is very essential to clean and detoxify ‘natural filter’ (kidneys) to avoid health problems. And, if we fail to keep our kidneys clean and healthy, it can disrupt its purification process which can trigger health complications like urinary disorders, chronic stomach pain, fever, nausea and vomiting. To make matters worse, the accumulated toxins in the kidneys can hamper the process of blood purification which can even lead to death.
