  3. Chanca Piedra: Also known as "stone breaker," chanca piedra is an herb that has been traditionally used to support kidney and urinary tract health. It's thought to help break down kidney stones and support the elimination of waste.

  4. Astragalus: Astragalus is an herb often used in traditional Chinese medicine. It is believed to have immune-enhancing and anti-inflammatory properties that might support overall kidney health.

  5. Ginger: Ginger is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and might help in reducing inflammation in the kidneys. It also has potential antioxidant effects.

  6. Turmeric: Turmeric contains curcumin, a compound known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It may support kidney health by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress.

  7. Cordyceps: Cordyceps is a type of fungus that has been used in traditional Chinese medicine. It's believed to have potential benefits for kidney health by supporting overall immune function and reducing inflammation.

  8. Hibiscus: Hibiscus tea is often consumed for its potential to lower blood pressure. High blood pressure can negatively affect kidney health, so incorporating hibiscus tea might indirectly support kidney function.
