Maybe you eat too much salt, have an overloaded kidney, experience a hormonal imbalance, or simply do not remove fluids properly.

In this article, we show you a simple and natural plan that will help you remove all excess fluid in your body that makes you feel heavy and swollen. Find out how to eliminate fluid retention in just one month by following these simple tips for your diet and using natural supplements. 

Onion broth

The food that will benefit you the most this month is onion, a medicinal food that has been used since ancient times, as a potent diuretic and also anti-inflammatory, which can help improve inflammation in the kidneys.  It has a very mild effect on the body, so it has no harmful consequences.

Every day you should consume an onion broth. If you make a big batch right away, then you do not have to prepare it every day.

Another great benefit of this soup is that you can make it more delicious by adding seawater, which can be found in health stores or some some supermarkets. Seawater not only has no negative sodium content, but also helps remove excess fluid from the body. So it is recommended as a substitute for standard table salt in many recipes.

Ingredients: 

• 1 liter of water
• 3 large onions
• 1 cup salt water

Cut out the onions and cook them in water for at least half an hour. Save the liquid. You can add more flavor with a little lemon juice if desired.

How should you drink it? 

It should be consumed throughout the day, but separately from your meals. It is best to drink half an hour before eating.

The cooked onions can then be used to make vegetable cream and gravy.

One grapefruit a day

Grapefruit is a very cleansing citrus fruit that benefits both your kidneys and liver, so we recommend eating a grapefruit every day in this 30 day cure. 

The best times are in the morning on an empty stomach before breakfast, or before going to bed after dinner.

If the taste is too bitter for you, add a little cinnamon and honey.

Natural supplements

There are two herbs that will strengthen the diuretic effects of this treatment: green tea and horsetail grass.

Green tea: This also help the body lose excess fat. They have a slightly stimulating effect and have been shown to fight cancer.

Horsetail grass: In addition to being diuretic, ponytail also helps reduce kidney inflammation and improves the health of your hair, skin and nails thanks to its silica content. 

Both of these can be ingested in their tea form, but if you do not feel like drinking extra liquid along with your onion broth, then you can take them as a supplement in capsules or tablets.

You are welcome to use one of the two throughout the 30 days, to generate lasting diuretic effects.

Foods that aggravate fluid retention

As you follow this simple treatment, it is important that you avoid any foods that may damage your kidneys or create more fluid retention. The worst are:

• Salt : You can use a little sea salt in your cooking, but avoid table salt.
• Ready-made or deep-fried foods
• Canned food
• Coffee
• Soda

Heat for your kidneys

As we have suggested above, the most important organ in the body to fight fluid retention is your kidneys. Because kidney health is closely linked to your energy levels, they often suffer from cold weather and the most common symptom is low back pain.

Whether you feel pain or not, it is a good habit to apply a little heat to the area every night, approximately in the middle of the back. You can use a hot bottle of water or heating pad for 15 to 30 minutes before bedtime.

Take care of yourself with diuretics

We recommend trying this natural treatment before resorting to diuretic medications, which can have side effects such as hypersensitivity or nervousness. If you are taking them on prescription, then it is a good idea to eat lots of foods that are rich in potassium to counteract the side effects, such as:

• Tomatoes
• Vegetable broth
• Bananas
