Herbal Support for Kidneys and Urinary System
|
The kidneys and urinary tract (which includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra) play a vital role in filtering and eliminating waste products.
The kidneys absorb salt, urea, amino acids, bile byproducts, toxins and water from the blood to form urine.
The proper functioning of the kidneys and urinary tract is essential for maintaining good health. Urinary tract
infections, kidney and urinary stones and kidney problems can cause severe pain, inflammation, burning micturation, pain, hypertension as well as toxin accumulation which can be life threatening.
Cystone is an ayurvedic formulation that helps support the urinary tract. Cystone helps to prevent and treat infections in the urinary tract as well as kidney and urinary stones.
Used as a dietary supplement, it helps to maintain kidney and urinary tract health by promoting normal absorption and water management. Cystone helps relieve pain and burning from urinary tract infections.
The following herbs are Cystone's chief constituents:
Shilapushpa also known as Stone Flower (Didymocarpus pedicellata) which is a key ingredient in Cystone has been shown to be effective in supporting a healthy urinary tract.
