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.
