How are
the Kidneys related to the Female Urinary Tract?
The kidneys (located just
under the rib cage in the back) lead directly to the ureters
– tubes which carry urine containing waste from the
kidneys to the bladder. When the bladder is full, its nerve
endings send impulses to the brain. Bladder walls contract
and the sphincter muscle guarding the exit from the bladder
relaxes. The urine is ejected from the bladder, out of the
body through the urethra, another tube-like structure.
The female urethra ends
just above the vaginal opening. So the vaginal tissue can
become awash with the urine as it exits. If a bacterial infection
is present in the urinary tract, this produces the pain, irritation
and burning of vaginal tissues.
Sometimes a urinary tract
infection and/or bladder infection can travel to your kidneys
- or, vice versa - a bladder infection may signal a problem
in the kidneys.
Some symptoms to watch for
as signs of Urinary Tract Infections are:
- Pain or burning when urinating, and
frequent urges to urinate
- Fever, tiredness or shakiness
- Pressure in your lower belly
- Urine that smells bad or looks cloudy
or reddish
Safe, Non-Prescription Treatment
with Kidney Formula
The homeopathic part of
this formula includes plant derivatives which may be strangely
named to you, but nevertheless important natural remedies
well known for relieving urinary tract and bladder inflammation:
Pareira brava, Apis, Cantharis, and more. They work as natural
and safe medicine, with no side effects, and stimulate the
kidneys’ ability to function properly.
Other herbal, mineral and
nutrient ingredients:
Uva Ursi
- The herb Uva Ursi is perhaps the best known natural preventive
treatment and remedy for kidneys and urinary tract. Usually
sold as a single element, it makes Kidney Formula all the
more potent.
Corn Silk
(Zea mays) - A diuretic, soothing, and anti-inflammatory tonic
to help alleviate urinary system irritation. It contains silicon,
B vitamins, iron, zinc, potassium, calcium, magnesium and
phosphorus, and key constituents like flax oil.
Juniper
(Juniperus communis) - The oil in juniper contains Vitamin
C and helps to stimulate the kidney tubes. It acts as a natural
anti-bacterial and uterine stimulant to help flush out waste,
toxins, excess fluid and prevent urinary tract infections.
Peppermint
(Mentha piperita) - Has a relaxing effect on the muscles of
the digestive and urinary system. It possesses tough antibacterial
and anti-fungal properties to help rid the kidneys of bacteria.
And these are not even all
the great ingredients! (See Ingredient List).
Your Kidneys, Urinary Tract
and “pH balance”:
In a kidney or urinary tract
infection, the body’s pH balance – “acid/alkaline”
internal environment of the body – is usually too acidic.
This causes buildup of bad bacteria including yeast cells,
which thrive in an acidic environment.
VÄXA Kidney Formula
can help avoid this buildup, and Buffer
pH can help rebalance your pH. Check out Buffer pH and
our other fine Women’s Health products on the left bar!
Important Notes:
A kidney infection
may be indicated by back and side pain along with fever. Consult
a physician immediately.
Kidney Formula is
not intended to replace prescription medicine in cases of
Kidney Disease, but can be used alongside the medication as
a soothing element without interference. It may also enhance
the speed of recovery and lessen drug side effects.
