Herbs for Urinary System

Like any other organs in your body, Urinary system is also an important organ complex. An organ complex specially created to synthesize, transport, store, and send-out urine, also to eject the yellowish waste fluid that contains unnecessary residues synthesized from the blood. Urine is a liquid that consists of a number of by-products created through one’s body metabolic processes and some of these by-products are blood particles, protein residues, salt, toxins and dead white blood cells. The urinary tract is made up of the kidneys, urethras, bladder, and urethra. However, visible spots of blood and white blood cells may indicate presence of injury or infection to the urinary system, or even damage to the kidneys. Abnormal amount of sugar in your urine may indicate occurrence of diabetes. Most of the problems in the urinary system are a direct result of natural ageing process, illness, serious injuries and terminal diseases. With advancing age and a gradual degradation in the efficiency of organs, several urinary organs like kidney and urinary canal tend to loose some of their natural ability to remove waste products from your body. Furthermore, the muscular structure of several urinary organs like urethra, bladder and other minor organs tend to loose their elasticity and strength. People tend to contract urine infection due to inefficient urinary organs working below their expected levels.
There are several types of remedies and drugs available to cure and treat various urinary system diseases and illnesses. Herbs and medicinal plants also provide very efficient and systematic drugs and medications to treat a number of urinary system diseases.
Here are some of the well known urinary system diseases and their corresponding drugs:
Most of us experience a severely burning sensation, while passing urine and this sensation occurs when you have an infection developing in the urinary passage due to prostrate enlargement and stones. You will need to provide some effective drugs to remove the infection in the urinary canal. Herbs like Akebia Stem, Knot Grass and Gokshura could provide you an effective cure to fight urinary infections. If you spot any blood cells in your urine sample, you’re probably suffering from a disease called Hematuria, which is actually a condition caused by presence of stones or pus in the urinary tract. Herbs like Guduchi, Licorice and Talc are known to be very effective in eradicating hematuria.
When a part or whole kidney is inflamed, you’ll suffer from a condition called Nephritis. There are several types of Nephritis and each of them shows their own set of symptoms. Most common symptoms that occur as a result of Nephritis are nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, headache and diarrhoea. Kidney stones, also called urinary stones, occur in almost 1%
of the world population. Unusual herbs like Punarnava, Dianthus, Gardenia and Licorice are good substances that break kidney stones in a natural and painless way. Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) are more common among women than in men, and there are several types of infections like cystitis, pyelonephritis and urinary canal inflammation. Unfortunately these infections need immediate medical intervention, in the form of drugs and medications. Herbal medication prepared from Ashoka, Neem and Dhataki (all Indian Herbs) are quite useful in reducing infection and inflammation in the urinary tract and canals. With a host of multi-pronged action and effects, herbs could provide a series of health benefits for the urinary system at an affordable cost. However, the biggest advantages of using these herbs are their harmless nature and total absence of any life threatening side effects.
