How Does the Urinary System
Affect Your Overall Health?
by Randal J. Watkins
This is the first area that generally needs to be addressed
in order to have good health. Individuals can go a long time without having a
bowel movement and not have immediate problems. However, they can't go very long
without voiding their urine. Most of the herbs will attempt to flush toxins through
the urinary tract. If a client's system can't eliminate the toxins, they will
normally begin to experience discomfort. I have learned through the years that
many herbalists consider the skin the "3rd Kidney."
The skin is supposed to move at least 2 pounds of waste per
day. Most of us work at a sedentary lifestyle or in air conditioned environrnents
and we rarely sweat. Sweating is how the skin removes normal waste. This causes
our kidneys to get overburdened. I also ask folks these questions related to urinary
difficulffes.
Do you have a stiff neck or do your shoulders stay tight?
The upper trapezius muscle will usually become tight when
the client's urinary system is having difficulty eliminating the toxins. Normally.
this is related to an individual having a stressed kidney (this means the kidneys
are healthy but they are surrounded by bands of stress that impair their normal
function. Uva Ursi and Parsley are the herbs that I use the most. I select single
herbs because the combinations have herbs that affect the liver. Until the stiffness
passes I suggest that the client not attempt to purge the liver.
Do you feel that you completely void your urine?
If the kidney is stressed then their can be a crimping of
the ability to completely eliminate the client's bladder. This can be usually
assessed by whenever a client relaxes he feels the urge to urinate. This is best
demonstrated if a client urinates more freely after they have rested in bed. I
would use Uva Ursi or Parsley to begin relaxing the clients urinary system and
begin to work on relaxing the entire body using the calcium assimilation knowledge
mentioned .
How often do you urinate?
If a client urinates too frequently they can begin to loose
their minerals. Often, a client will urinate less when they can completely void
their bladder. Using the stressed kidney herbs (Uva Ursi and Parsley) will usually
help this problem. Horsetail may be required if the frequency of urination is
not affected with the use of Uva Ursi or Parsley. Particularly, if the client
exhibits a need to assimilate calcium and is considered an individual that won't
accept change easily.
How much water do you drink?
I have worked with clients that didn't want to drink water.
This aversion was for purified or tap, it didn't matter. In working to determine
the client's profile with respect to the kidneys I found this situation to get
better. One client hated water and would rarely drink it. Aflcer giving her the
herb KB-C, The following night she woke up and had an intense thirst. After 9
months had passed I asked her if she was still drinking water and she readily
admitted that she now loves it. This situation has been repeated time after time
and also with animals.
If the body can't eliminate water, the desire for water will be reduced. Once,
the ability for the body to eliminate water is improved, the body will begin to
desire water. After all, we are made of 70% water and we have to have it to have
good health.
