Our kidneys and bladders work very hard for us to clean the blood and dispose of waste.

The Urinary System includes the kidneys, ureters (long tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder), bladder, urethra and sphincter muscles.  Although the urinary system’s primary function is to produce and excrete urine, it also plays an important role in removing cellular waste products from the body and maintaining body fluid balance.  The risk of developing urinary system problems increases with age, as kidney function naturally declines and urinary system muscles lose tone and weaken, which can lead to incontinence…the involuntary leakage of urine.  Urinary incontinence is reported to affect 15-50% of women in the USA and roughly 17% of men over the age of 60.  Another frequent urinary system health problem is urinary tract infections (UTI’s).  UTI’s are the second most common type of infection, accounting for an estimated 8.3 million doctor visits annually.  Although UTI’s are more common in women…one in five women will develop a UTI during her lifetime…they can occur in men and especially individuals with diabetes are at higher risk for developing a UTI.  Furthermore, according to the National Kidney Foundation, one in nine adults (e.g. more than 26 million Americans) suffer from some form of kidney disease and millions more are at greater risk of developing kidney disease, such as those with diabetes and hypertension (high blood pressure).

Advice we received from a doctor when a family member was having issues…
·         DON’T hold it…go to the bathroom as soon as you can
·         DON’T push…the bladder will make “bands” around on the inside…these bands will hold liquid allowing bacterial infections and yeast infections to occur

Some considerations:
·         Dietary changes
·         Good supplements
·         Exercise specific for the bladder


 Here are a couple of websites with exercises for you to consider:



  
Both exercises should be used together but if you can only do one, the top one (Kegel) would be the better choice.

Excellent supplements to consider:

OGF ~ helps every cell in the whole body, high antioxidant (VIP!)

Cellu-Smooth ~ tighten tissue

Urinary Maintenance ~ strengthen and build

Urinary System ~ for kidney health and urinary system function

JP-X & Juniper Berries are urinary system tonics


If blood in urine ~ Marshmallow to reduce inflammation and Golden Seal as an antiseptic

Consider yeast ~ Bifidophilus for friendly bacteria, Pau D'Arco, Olive Leaf, Yeast/Fungal Detox, etc.

Consider parasites ~ Para Cleanse or herbs like Black Walnut, Artemisia, Herbal Pumpkin, etc.

And I would consider putting essential oils on the belly using safe carrier oils like NSP Irish Moss Hand Lotion, NSP Aloe Vera Gel or NSP Massage Oil.  Other carrier oils that would be great are Grapeseed Oil, Olive Oil or Emu Oil.  Buy organic if possible.

Essential Oils ~ Wild Oregano, Tea Tree, Geranium, Clove Bud, Frankincense, Bergamot, Sandalwood


Food Choices to Consider:
Yes ~ black cherry juice (no sugar), asparagus, watermelon seed tea & lots of pure water!
No ~ caffeine, coffee, tea, chocolate, sugar

There are more considerations…so please feel free to contact me for more information!
