Your kidneys work hard for you 24/7, so naturally if you’re feeling fatigued or experiencing any sort of imbalance in the body, you may be considering a kidney cleanse. Your kidneys not only produce hormones for you, filter out excess water and sodium, and clean your blood, they pretty much handle all of the toxins that come in to your body from food, air, and water. Along with the liver, you’ve got a team hard at work inside your body doing their best to keep you healthy and safe with clear skin and an ideal body weight. However, with the ridiculously high toxin load we’re faced with in our modern society, sometimes we need to take extra steps to detox our kidneys and give them a rest from processing so much so we can begin to heal and come into balance.
7 reasons why you may want to do a kidney detox:
- You’re feeling fatigued or more tired than usual.
- You feel pain in your kidneys after eating certain foods (or processed “phoods”).
- You’re experiencing skin problems like eczema, acne or rashes.
- You have a hormonal imbalance or feel extra moody.
- You’ve had kidney stones in the past.
- You’re experiencing weight gain and bloating.
- You have frequent or infrequent bladder problems or UTI’s.

Carrots and cucumber are a super-powered up
duo. Combined, they support the kidneys in flushing out excess uric
acid (known to cause kidney stones), support the kidneys in flushing out
excess toxins as well as load your body up with a mega dose of
nutrients.
The kidneys filter your blood, so if they’re taxed or unable to
function at full capacity, this can show up in the form of skin issues
like eczema or acne breakouts. Drink this combination of veggies for a
cleansing effect on the kidneys, and the skin, resulting in a glowing,
beautiful complexion.

Radishes are super detoxifiers for the
liver and gallbladder, and help the kidneys flush out excess toxins.
They protect the body against infection, and they’re anti-fungal and
anti-inflammatory. Juicing radishes allows your body to absorb more of
the nutrients than you would from eating them whole, due to the volume
it would take to eat radishes vs. juicing them. If you suffer from
kidney stones, drinking radish juice can help dissolve stones so you can
pass them more quickly.

- 1 cup Purple Cabbage
- 1 rib Celery
