Summary
The urinary system is one of the main eliminatory pathways of the body. When it becomes blocked, detoxification is inhibited, and infections and kidney stones can occur.
The first step you need to take before taking herbal medicine is identifying the underlying tissue state of your unique condition. By doing so, you can select herbs with precision to alleviate painful symptoms while resolving the issue at its core.
In today's episode, you'll learn:
- The urinary system's primary functions
- How the 6 tissue states express themselves in the urinary system
- Specific herbs that balance each urinary system tissue state
- What kidney stones and UTIs are, and what actions and herbs you can use for them
- Nutrition and lifestyle recommendations for a healthy urinary system
