Natural Cure For Kidney Infections

Kidneys play a vital role in the functions of the body. They filter out impurities from the body, regulate and maintain the blood pressure, control the balance of electrolytes and enhance the production of cells. Kidney infection is also known as pyelonephritis and it involves the infections of the urinary tract which consists of the urinary bladder, urethra and prostate.The prostate gland is found in men only. Urinary infections occur due to bacteria which gain access to the urinary system through the urethra.

This is known as lower UTI and is less harmful. But if the infection ascends to the kidneys it is known as upper UTI and is very dangerous as it can affect the bloodstream too.Fever followed by chills and shivering overtakes the body and causes severe back pains. The urge to urinate frequently and urgently becomes unbearable and a feeling of nausea prevails. Because of their short urethras women are more prone to urinary tract infections.

Papaya Seeds

Papaya seeds which are simply thrown away without a second thought have several medicinal values and play an important role in curing kidney infections. They have antibacterial and detoxifying properties. The seeds are very pungent and have a pepper like taste so eat one teaspoon of papaya seeds with one teaspoon of sugar every morning. The bacteria will be successfully eliminated driving away the fever and the chills.

Raw Bananas

Raw bananas have large amounts of vitamin A, C, B6 AND B12. The potassium and magnesium found in them work to build and repair body tissues. Because of their low protein and salt content, they are invaluable in kidney infections.

Banana Stem

The core of the banana stem is very effective in curing urinary infections and has been used since ages for this purpose. The juice of the stem clears the toxins from the excretion organs and eliminates them in the form of urine.

It also helps eliminate stones from the kidneys. Crush the tender core of the stem and squeeze out the juice. Take two teaspoons of this juice on alternate days.

Cranberry Juice

Cranberries contain a substance that counteracts bacterial adhesions and prevents them from entering the urinary tract and kidneys. Drink one cup of pure unsweetened cranberry juice everyday and stop using it as soon as the infection is cleared.

Aloe vera is rich in amino acids, enzymes, mono saccharides and poly saccharides which combine together to develop vast healing properties in it. Its antibacterial and detoxifying properties make it very suitable for kidney infections. It destroys the bacteria and flushes out the infection from the urinary system. Extract the juice from a leaf of aloe vera and drink every morning.
