Herbs for the Urinary System:
A Primary Channel of Detoxification

We all know that cleansing is important, but most of the time we focus our cleansing efforts on the colon. We’ve probably all heard sayings like, “Death begins in the colon,” which reinforce the idea that keeping our bowels moving is primary. While I agree that maintaining a healthy gastrointestinal tract is important to health, my own experience with using muscle testing to determine primary weaknesses in the body has revealed that the kidneys show up as a primary weakness far more often than the colon.
