so today we’re gonna talk about fluid

retention and seven of the most powerful

herbal diuretics a diuretic is something

that will release fluid from your body

there are synthetic chemical diuretics

and then there are also natural

diuretics but probably the most common

cause of fluid retention is the high

levels of glucose in your diet so I

don’t know if you knew this but for

every gram of glucose it’s going to

retain 2.7 grams of water so you’re

gonna be waterlogged if you’re consuming

too many carbohydrates and I see it all

the time I’ll be I don’t know at some

event or something and I can just see

the person’s eyes are all swollen or

their feet are all puffy and filled with

fluid and they’re usually consuming a

lot of carbs it’s such an easy problem

to solve and then if you actually

consume enough foods with potassium as

in vegetables a person typically will

not be retaining fluid an average person

in the u.s. is consuming way too much

sodium and not enough potassium and

they’re just waterlogged so the first

thing we’re talking about is dandelion

okay it’s so that’s a weed that grows in

your backyard and it is super healthy

for your liver and the potency of the

diuretic chemical in dandelion is

concentrated in the greens not

necessarily the root so I would

recommend putting it on your salad you

can get it from the health of store or

just go in your backyard dandelion

greens are very very very high in

potassium which also helps push the

fluid out but dandelion greens help you

at many different levels

the next herb is Yuba earthy and this

acts directly on the kidney to help push

fluid out it’s also really good for UTIs

it’s been approved in Germany for

bladder infections now horsetail

typically people think of horsetail as

something that is good for your nails

and your hair because it’s loaded with

silica and it is and it’s also good to

detoxify aluminum but horsetail also has

certain properties to push fluid out of

the body

the only challenge with horsetail is it

it will tend to deplete vitamin b1 so if

you’re taking some formula with work

just make sure you put the beet complex

back in there or nutritional yeast Horst

Heldt is also really good for children

who have bedwetting next one is garlic

garlic is a potent diuretic it’s also a

very powerful antimicrobial antifungal

anti-ice anti-candida anti-inflammatory

antioxidant and it has anti-cancer

properties next one is black tea black

tea gets rid of excess sodium it

releases sodium from the body but not

potassium so therefore you can have the

right ratios it will inhibit a hormone

from the adrenal glands called

aldosterone this hormone mainly

functions to retain sodium so if you

reduce aldosterone you’re not going to

retain sodium as much so you’re gonna

get rid of fluid parsley parsley is

really good for blood pressure it also

inhibits the release of potassium so it

will help retain potassium and in

Germany parsley is approved as an

official diuretic and last one is

stinging nettle root if you’re gonna get

this make sure you get the root portions

okay not necessarily the leaves but this

one is very powerful as an

anti-inflammatory but it will get rid of

excess fluid and some men take it for

enlarged prostate so it can help with

that as well
