This herb reduces water retention and giving this and burdock blend tincture (herbpharm) to my mother with zero kidney function and extremely ill after 8 heart attacks in a year and numerous challenges cause her to call me and say.."I can't believe this..I took those tinctures you left and for the first time in 2 years of dialysis I was not sick after dialysis. I always get really sick all day."
this herb also saved Dr Christopher's sister who was to be dead by morning. Swollen to twice her size by dropsy, an illness where the kidneys and skin do not excrete fluids well and cause water retention, this saved her life. He tells the story in one of his videos.
