All Things Kidney

All Things Kidney

Your kidneys may be small, but they play a big role in your overall health and energy. These bean-shaped organs quietly filter and balance the fluids in your body, working 24/7 to remove waste and maintain inner harmony. Supporting kidney health means better energy, fewer toxins, balanced hormones, and even clearer skin. When you’re mindful of what you eat, drink, and breathe—and you pair that awareness with targeted, plant-powered support—your kidneys can thrive for years to come!

THE KIDNEY AT A GLANCE

Filter waste and excess fluid from the blood to keep your system balanced

Regulate minerals and electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and calcium

Help control blood pressure through fluid balance and hormone regulation

Support healthy bones by activating vitamin D

Balance pH levels in the body for optimal cellular function

Eliminate toxins from food, medications, and everyday exposure

Thrive on hydration, mineral-rich foods, and low-toxin living

Kidneys are your body’s internal filters, working quietly behind the scenes to maintain fluid balance, regulate blood pressure, support detoxification, and keep your minerals in check. But like any filter, they can get overwhelmed—especially by dehydration, high-sodium diets, stress, or environmental toxins.

Women may notice kidney stress as low back discomfort, puffiness, fatigue, or even brain fog. Fortunately, there are gentle, effective ways to support your kidneys with everyday habits and pure, plant-based products. Young Living offers several tools to help you nourish these vital organs naturally.

NINGXIA RED

This daily antioxidant drink isn’t just for energy—it’s a powerful way to support overall organ function, including the kidneys. The wolfberries and dark berries in NingXia Red are high in polyphenols and vitamin C, which help reduce oxidative stress on the kidneys and improve circulation. The hydrating base of this drink, plus its gentle detox properties, make it ideal for supporting fluid balance and reducing the burden on your kidneys. Sip daily for full-body wellness and clean energy.

K&B TINCTURE

Young Living’s K&B is a targeted herbal blend created specifically to support the kidney and bladder systems. Featuring herbs like juniper, parsley, and uva ursi, this tincture helps promote healthy fluid flow, cleanse the urinary tract, and support normal kidney function. Especially useful during seasonal changes or after a period of dietary indulgence, K&B is a gentle way to nourish and tone the kidneys.

ALKALIME POWDER

Kidneys love a balanced pH environment, and Alkalime supports exactly that. This powder blends alkaline minerals like calcium and magnesium with essential oils like lemon and peppermint to help neutralize acidity in the body. A slightly alkaline internal environment supports kidney health, reduces inflammation, and promotes overall vitality. Mix with water first thing in the morning or after a heavy meal to ease acid load and support the kidneys’ buffering system.

JUVAFLEX ESSENTIAL OIL BLEND

Although originally formulated for liver support, JuvaFlex also offers powerful benefits for the kidneys thanks to its blend of detoxifying and grounding oils like rosemary, fennel, and geranium. These oils support the lymphatic system and fluid movement, indirectly easing the kidneys’ workload. Apply diluted over the lower back or use in a warm compress during your detox routine.

KIDNEYS, ADRENALS & HORMONES

Your kidneys work closely with your adrenal glands, which sit right on top of them. Together, they regulate blood pressure, stress hormones, and energy metabolism. Chronic stress or burnout can affect both kidney and adrenal function, leading to symptoms like fatigue, hormone imbalance, or irregular cycles. Support both with rest, NingXia Red, adaptogenic herbs (like ashwagandha), and grounding practices.

If hormones need some support, consider supplements with Daily Hormone Essentials or EndoGize.

EMOTIONAL & ENERGETIC CONNECTIONS

In traditional Chinese medicine, the kidneys are the seat of fear, willpower, and life force (jing). When kidneys are depleted, women may feel anxious, easily overwhelmed, or disconnected from purpose.

Practice grounding rituals like walking barefoot, journaling, or warm baths with Geranium or Juniper essential oil.

Incorporate restorative yoga, especially poses like child's pose or supported forward folds.

Use affirmations like: "I am safe, supported, and grounded in my body" while you use your essential oils.

DAILY LIFESTYLE HABITS FOR KIDNEY SUPPORT

Drink half your body weight in ounces of clean, filtered water daily to keep kidneys flushing properly. Add Mineral Essence to your water to maintain mineral stores and flush toxins.

Limit processed salt and sugar, which strain kidney function and affect fluid balance.

Depending on your level of kidney disease, avoid potassium-rich foods like leafy greens, bananas, and sweet potatoes. For healthy kidneys that you want to support, eat a diet of whole foods and nutrient dense foods.

Add K&B to your routine when extra support is needed or if you have a known issue with kidney health.

Support mineral balance with trace minerals like Mineral Essence and alkalizing greens.

Use essential oils like Juniper, Lemon, or Cypress to support kidney energy and detox pathways.

Enjoy an Epsom salt bath 1–2x a week to support detox via the skin. Add Cypress, Juniper, or even a dropperfull of K&B to your epsom salt.

Make sleep a priority, especially between 3–5 a.m. when kidneys do deep repair work.

Enjoy 1–2 ounces of NingXia Red daily for hydration and antioxidant support.

ESSENTIAL OILS

When you have a cough or cold or feel one coming on, you just want to be comfortable – especially if you still have to work, travel, or take care of your children or loved ones! (click on the individual oil pictures to learn more about the oil)

Thieves Essential Oil Blend:

This blend is our go-to for all things immune system related! It's the blend infused into the chest rub and cough drops we just talked about – and for good reason! We love to apply and diffuse this blend, add Thieves Vitality to a mug of echinacea tea, or add it to epsom salts for an immune supporting detox bath!

Frankincense Essential Oil:

Frankincense is an immune and respiratory powerhouse! This historical oil has been used for centuries for health. Apply it with Thieves, Lemon, R.C. or Purification to the chest and back, add a few drops to the Thieves Chest Rub when you apply, add Frankincense to epsom salts for a detox bath, and diffuse this oil when you're feeling down. Get it in, on and around you as much as possible!

Lemon Essential Oil:

Lemon is a wonderful oil for soothing cough and creating comfort in times of congestion. Diffuse it, apply it with Frankincense and Thieves Chest Rub, add a few drops of Lemon Vitality to echinacea tea, and add Lemon to detox baths. Lemon is high in limonene, a constituent highly regarded for its immune system support.

R.C. Essential Oil Blend:

Standing for Respiratory Comfort, R.C. essential oil blend is a gentle eucalyptus blend that we love for soothing and comforting the respiratory system. Diffuse, apply, and add this oil to detox baths as much as possible. This is a great choice for little ones too!

Purification Essential Oil Blends:

This purifying blend is another favorite for immune and respiratory needs. Containing Tea Tree, Lemongrass, Myrtle and other purifying oils, it makes a great addition to your comfort routine during times of cough or cold. Diffuse, apply, and add to bath salts.

Raindrop Technique Collection: This curated set of essential oils is a powerful tool for promoting health, wellness and vitality – both proactively and for acute needs since the oils included can be incredible tools for healing! This collection features nine essential oils with immune and respiratory support properties. We love them for making rollers and adding to detox baths!

Thieves chest rub & cough

THIEVES CHEST RUB

A must-have for every medicine cabinet, Thieves Chest Rub is a 100% plant-based alternative for over-the-counter cough and congestion relief. This natural chest rub soothes sniffles, coughs, and congestion for the whole family with a powerful blend of essential oils and natural, plant-based ingredients.Plus the easy-to-use bottle doesn't even require you to get your hands messy!! The formula is free of petroleum, parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, synthetic perfumes or dyes, artificial colors, or preservatives and still packs an incredible punch when it comes to cough and cold! Pure ingredients and all the power of Thieves kicking that chest congestion to the curb? We will take some of that!

Sadly, conventional chest rubs are filled with synthetic additives and diluents, and even the ‘natural' options are less than ideal. Many options use petroleum as a base. Petroleum (petrolatum) is often not fully refined in the US, which means it can be contaminated with toxic chemicals called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.Many ‘natural' chest rubs also contain impure essential oils or other lower-grade components that don't meet the same standards as the ingredients found in Young Living products. The active ingredient in the most popular over the counter chest rub is actually a synthetic version of Ravintsara essential oil! And we are always going to choose the original over a synthetic copy, especially when it comes to our health and our family's health!

THIEVES COUGH DROPS

Get natural, quick, and safe cough, congestion, and sore throat relief Thieves Essential Oil-Infused Cough Drops! These are a staple in our cough and cold toolbox. They are easy to keep at home or take on the go, made with naturally derived ingredients, taste great, and work wonders!

Thieves Essential Oil-Infused Cough Drops are minty, spicy, and sweet without processed sugar, dyes, artificial flavors, or preservatives found in conventional cough drops. Infused with Cinnamon Bark, Peppermint, and Lemon essential oils, these menthol-based drops make soothing coughs and colds simple and tasty.

THIEVES HARD LOZENGES

Infused with Young Living's signature Thieves essential oil blend of Clove, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus, Rosemary, and Lemon essential oils, these lozenges are one of the things we reach for to keep our immune systems firing on a daily basis! The Thieves Hard Lozenges are a sugar-free dietary supplement to add to your daily wellness regimen with more of a cinnamon taste than a menthol one.We use these daily when we need a lozenge, when we travel to bolster our immune systems, and sometimes in place of the Thieves Cough Drops when we are out or if someone doesn't want the strong menthol taste of the drops (but it's that menthol that helps open the airways and soothe the throat!).
