If you are looking for a natural remedy that has antiparasitic, antiviral and antibacterial properties, you can make a great birch tea at home. It will help the body quickly and effectively fight the infection and also reduces the negative effect caused by fever.
The tea also contains vitamin C, which is an important nutrient for building the immune system. Birch tea has also become a means of supporting the kidneys and the urinary bladder.
Birch tea will help dissolve kidney stones
Drinking the tea increases the frequency of urination and toxins, waste and excess fluid are flushed from the body. This tea is highly recommended for dissolving stones and their painless passage. If you also collect the leaves yourself, at least you will know what you are drinking. Leaves are best gathered in spring and early summer when they are green and fresh. You can use them immediately to make tea or have them dried for later use.
To prepare the tea use about 4 or 5 leaves per cup of tea, and pour boiling water over them. Let steep for 5 to 10 minutes. Enjoy a cup of birch tea about 3–4 times a day.
However, before you decide to drink birch tea, consult your doctor, because possible contraindications may occur.
How to prevent kidney stones
It is important to have an adequate intake of fluids that will dilute your urine. This reduces the risk of stone formation. In addition to plain water, you can include mineral waters in your drinking regime. They provide the body with minerals that contribute to urological health. The diet should be varied and it is important to include healthy foods. Excess energy intake can lead to obesity and people who are overweight are more likely to develop kidney stones.
You can also fight stones in other ways:
- Limit beer and alcohol consumption overall
- Limit daily protein intake to 0.8–1 g/kg of body weight
- Also reduce the amount of salt consumed
- Drink sufficiently before going to bed as well
If you already have experience with renal colic, you may know that up to 80% of stones are expelled from the body on their own.
