The Purifier Tea

When it comes to kidney health, we often don’t implement supportive measures or diet changes until things have progressed to a point of concern — but we suggest prevention and ongoing support with help from mineral rich, strengthening, kidney supporting herbs that assist overall kidney health slowly and gently over time. 

There’s so much we can do to aid and protect kidney physiology and function thanks to plants that contain antioxidants with an affinity for kidney cells. The Purifier contains a blend of herbs that help our kidneys do the job they’re meant to do despite a wide range of environmental stressors in today’s world.*

Horsetail is an herb that quite literally helps us to embody its namesake -- supporting long and healthy luscious hair, strong nails, and collagen production within the skin. Known as a beautifying herb, this plant medicine also deeply supports the kidneys, promoting healthy fluid balance and normal kidney function.

Horsetail is noted for its ability to "pull whatever gold might be in the soil." This means it ends up extremely rich in hydrating, nourishing minerals including silica, phosphorous, iron, calcium, magnesium, manganese, and potassium. While all of horsetail's minerals are valuable, the high silica content that has earned solidified its value in both traditional and modern herbal remedies. 

In the lens of holistic beauty, silica promotes our own collagen production and mineral absorption, helping the hair, skin, and nails get the nutrients they need to be strong, smooth, and shiny. As horsetail supports the kidneys, it's also a lovely 'de-puffing' herb that can be combined with bodywork and facial massage such as Gua Sha. Silica also helps support healthy connective tissue, playing a part in joint and cartilage protection as well as healthy bone maintenance.

Interestingly enough, one of the major assaults we face in terms of kidney health today is heavy metal exposure, due to the ubiquitous nature of industry byproducts such as aluminum. Although horsetail is renowned as a "kidney herb," part of the reason it rose to fame is because its silica content helps to maintain the normal and healthy elimination of heavy metals like aluminum, allowing the kidneys to maintain optimal function without this added stressor.*
