The Kidneys are one of the most essential organs in our body. They perform cleansing of the body fluids and ensure that a stable balance of the body fluids is maintained in the body. They regulate the sodium, potassium and the salt content in our bodies. As a result, when they filter the toxins and waste materials out of the blood, it may happen that many of those toxins are retained in the kidneys themselves due to several reasons like diabetes and high blood pressure. Due to the presence of these toxins, we see a loss of function in the Kidneys and if it gets serious we might also need to perform critical procedures like dialysis and Kidney transplantation.
So, it is highly essential that we perform a Kidney Detox from time to time.
