Inflammatory processes in the kidneys are caused by various types of pathogenic bacteria, which provoke the appearance of infections. Therefore, the main treatment is based on a course of antibiotics. Additional intake of medicinal herbs will help strengthen the body after taking antibacterial drugs. It will also protect the intestines and liver from their negative effects. In cases where microorganisms develop resistance to medications, herbs may be more effective.

Kidney collection for pyelonephritis contains plants that have a urological effect. They have diuretic, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. The diuretic effect of herbs prevents stagnation of urine, improves fluid excretion and, at the same time, does not wash out potassium. The antibacterial substances contained in plants have a detrimental effect on microbes and promote their removal from the body. Taking herbal teas also stimulates the immune system, increases the concentration of vitamins, and helps remove toxins.

Decoctions with the addition of bearberry, which has a diuretic, astringent and antiseptic effect, are especially recommended. It is useful to add celandine, which prevents the spread of infection to neighboring organs. The following recipes are most effective:

Herbal medicine during pregnancy

Pyelonephritis is dangerous for pregnant women, and if left untreated, serious complications are possible. It can lead to premature birth and miscarriage. Children carried by a future mother with pyelonephritis suffer from hypoxia and are born weak. For the expectant mother, this disease is fraught with the development of anemia and toxicosis.

Possible causes of the disease in pregnant women include:

• disruption of the outflow of urine due to an enlarged uterus, which puts pressure on the internal organs and changes their location;
• altered hormonal levels, making it difficult to remove urine;
• chronic pyelonephritis in an expectant mother.

Pregnant women often believe that herbal medicine is harmless to health and much better than drug treatment. This opinion is partly correct. Many drugs are quite dangerous for pregnant women and are contraindicated for them. But not all renal fees are allowed during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It is worth discussing this issue with your doctor and reading the instructions on herbal preparations.

DETAILS: I often go to the toilet in small quantities at night: reasons

You should not drink infusions and decoctions for more than 30 days, as they wash out essential microelements from the body.

Herbal therapy

Treatment of pyelonephritis with herbs is indispensable for chronic disease that is in remission. Symptoms will become less pronounced, and the number of exacerbations will decrease significantly. In case of an acute form of the disease in the early stages, taking plants is not recommended. They are taken as an adjuvant 3-4 days after the attack.

If inflammation of the urinary organs occurs with swelling, taking herbal infusions is contraindicated. You should not drink tea if you have pyelonephritis or allergic reactions or intolerance to plant components.

The composition of the herbal collection and the effect of the components on the body

The composition of the urological collection Fitonephrol includes 5 medicinal plant components. Each of them individually and all together have a diuretic (diuretic), antiseptic and analgesic effect. Approximate percentage composition:

• bearberry leaves – up to 40%;
• Calendula officinalis flowers (marigold) – 20%;
• seeds (fruits) of dill – 20%;
• peppermint leaves – up to 10%;
• Eleutherococcus senticosus, root with rhizome – 10%.

Calendula flowers have a unique effect on the body - thanks to flavonoids, they perfectly relieve muscle spasms, help relax the walls of internal organs, and quickly relieve pain. Therefore, they are used as an antispasmodic for many diseases of the abdominal organs. It is calendula that promotes easy passage of urine through the kidneys and urinary organs.

Peppermint also relieves pain and is an effective natural antiseptic, so it easily fights germs and bacteria.

Dill seeds (or fruits) promote urination and relieve inflammation in the bladder and canals.

It is no coincidence that bearberry leaves are the main component of urological herbal collection. Bearberry, like a brush, cleanses the urinary canals from the source of pathological changes - viruses and bacteria. This plant relieves pain and treats infections. Bearberry flavonoids increase urination and remove potassium and sodium from the body. A decoction of bearberry leaves is an indispensable remedy for the treatment of cystitis.

Eleutherococcus root has a powerful immune-strengthening effect, both general (has a beneficial effect on the entire body) and local (strengthens the immune system of the genitourinary system). Eleutherococcus normalizes metabolism and helps the body recover after illness.

When taken in the correct dosage, herbal remedies have virtually no side effects. But with excessive and uncontrolled use of the preparations, toxic poisoning of the liver and kidneys is possible, causing hypertension and hormonal imbalance. It is also important to pay attention to where the herbs were collected. Plants grown on the side of highways should not be taken as they may contain particles of gasoline and motor oil.

The same applies to herbs collected in environmentally unfavorable areas. Taking infusions from these plants can lead to serious chemical poisoning. Even taking natural kidney preparations should be done under the supervision of a doctor who will prescribe proper treatment, dosage and duration of herbal medicine.

The composition of renal and other preparations must be changed periodically - every 30-40 days. From time to time you should take breaks lasting 14-20 days. Taking into account the peculiarities of the functioning of the genitourinary system, herbs are recommended to be consumed in the afternoon.

diuretic; restorative; uroseptic; detoxification.

Herbal medicines have a diuretic effect due to stimulation of the organ and suppression of pathogenic processes, such as inhibition of enzyme activity, increased activity of renal blood flow, and urine absorption. Increased diuresis leads to a decrease in the amount of salt.

However, diuretic herbs, unlike medications, allow you to preserve the required level of potassium. Of course, it will not be possible to completely maintain the electrolyte balance, but the use of medicinal plants allows you to minimize the removal of minerals from the body. Mineral water can correct the mineral balance of the body.

The uroseptic effect of medicinal herbs is achieved due to phytoncides contained in plants. When phytoncides enter the blood, they pass through the pathological focus, while sanitizing the bacteria in the kidneys.

Also, herbal remedies can have a general strengthening effect, since they contain a large amount of microelements and vitamins. They increase the availability of vitamins in the body, thereby stimulating immune processes.

By stimulating the immune system and drinking a lot of fluid, detoxification occurs, which leads to a large excretion of urine, which removes a considerable number of toxins. For this purpose, you should also take a considerable amount of liquid, unless there are contraindications for this in the form of edema or renal failure.

Medicinal herbs can not only have a positive effect on the body. There are also conditions in which taking herbal medicine would be extremely undesirable, these include:

1. The composition of renal and other preparations must be changed periodically - every 30-40 days.
2. From time to time you should take breaks lasting 14-20 days.
3. Taking into account the peculiarities of the functioning of the genitourinary system, herbs are recommended to be consumed in the afternoon.

Side effects

If the patient adheres to the dosage, side effects are practically excluded. If taken uncontrolled, the liver and kidneys may be damaged by toxins, hypertension may develop, and hormonal imbalances may occur. When using decoctions, pay attention to the places where plants are collected. Taking herbs that grew on the outskirts of highways or in places with unfavorable ecology can cause chemical poisoning.

Kidney tea, various herbal teas and other herbal remedies should be taken under the supervision of the attending physician and only with his permission. Otherwise, the patient may harm himself. After all, with the wrong dosage, complications develop, the disease worsens, and allergies may occur. When taken correctly and following all the doctor’s recommendations, herbs will give the expected result and help a person recover faster.

Acute pyelonephritis

Herbs and anti-inflammatory preparations for acute pyelonephritis can be used on the third or fourth day after the attack as an addition to drug treatment. Experts especially recommend kidney preparations, which include bear's ear (bearberry). They have a complex effect: astringent, diuretic, antiseptic.

To prevent the spread of the infectious process to the genitals, celandine herb is prescribed.

Medicinal herbs for pyelonephritis are indispensable during complex treatment. It is not for nothing that many medications for this disease have a herbal composition. Pyelonephritis is one of the few diseases that can be treated quite effectively with herbs. Herbal medicine is indispensable for chronic forms and helps reduce the likelihood of relapses. In acute pyelonephritis, it alleviates the course of the disease and accelerates recovery.

Herbs are the best option for treating inflammatory processes in the genitourinary system.

How do plants work for kidney diseases?

Acute or chronic pyelonephritis is a nonspecific inflammatory disease of the calyces, pelvis and parenchymal tissue of the kidneys, accompanied by their organic and functional damage. The pathology is bacterial in nature: most often its causative agents are streptococci, staphylococci, Proteus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Escherichia coli.

The danger of acute pyelonephritis lies in the tendency to become chronic and the risk of developing purulent complications (pyonephrosis, carbuncle, kidney abscess, sepsis). With the formation of a chronic form of the disease, in which periods of relative well-being are replaced by exacerbations, functional disorders of the urinary organs increase. They ultimately lead to kidney failure.

There are several components in the treatment of pyelonephritis:

• etiotropic;
• pathogenetic;
• symptomatic.

Etiotropic is aimed at the main cause of pathology - pathogenic bacteria. It consists of prescribing antibacterial drugs from the group of cephalosporins, macrolides, and nitrofurans. The goal of symptomatic treatment remains to minimize the manifestations of the disease and discomfort for the patient. Most often it includes the prescription of painkillers and antipyretics.

Treatment with herbs and other plants refers to pathogenetic methods of therapy. Medicinal preparations have the following effects:

• mild antibacterial;
• diuretic;
• anti-inflammatory;
• antispasmodic;
• painkillers;
• uroseptic.

As part of complex therapy, they fight infection and promote the rapid removal of bacterial particles from the urinary system. In addition, herbs for pyelonephritis are necessary to eliminate the consequences of taking powerful antimicrobial drugs. They reduce the possible harmful effects of antibiotics on the liver and kidneys, and also have a positive effect on the state of the intestinal microflora. The effect of herbal medicine has also been proven for chronic pyelonephritis in adults: plant and herbal infusions can significantly slow down the progression of the disease.
