A KIDNEY HEALTH SOLUTION PLANT IN MY MINI-GARDEN

I don't know whether I should shout Eureka! yet but I think it's very close to it.

There's this plant I noticed  over a week ago. Like some other plants it  has sprouted in my urban cemented, mostly  sack-cultivated mini-garden. 

 Weed! I initially thought  but as I am also a scientist,   I was curious to first find out about it 

 So I searched and searched online, discovered its name: Phyllanthus niruri- stone-brreaker plant that helps solve some if not all liver/kidney health problems. 

I took some photos of it and was going to talk about it last week but held back because I have not  yet tested it. 

Lo and behold, going through Social media posts last week Tuesday, a fellow herbalist on IG had put it up for people to discuss on what they knew about it. 

Quite a number of people had used it for liver/kidney health issue. You may say, 'I don't have liver or kidney problems so I am not interested.'

Eeehhh! You must be interested o. Why? Do you eat food grown or processed or preserved by others? Are some if not all the food and drinks you take bought in the market? Do you take drugs even medicinal drugs? Let's not mention about alcohol and substance abuse or your  inhaling some harmful substances in the atmosphere through no fault of yours. 

If you are in any of these categories, there will certainly be inorganic substances that get into your body system. 

Inorganic substances in the human body are like plastics that are not  bio-degradable such that they pollute the seas, rivers and other water bodies and negatively affect aquatic life,

These inorganic substances  that get into our human bodies also  do not fully degrade or digest. So they have difficulty passing through the liver.  If they eventually  do, they  harm the liver and would also likely harm the kidneys or other organs  such as the ones for defecation. 

If such harm keep happening over time,  the person may have difficulties  urinating or  passing faeces and need serious medical intervention.

If these inorganic substances stay for so long in the body due to not passing through the liver, they build up over time and may become cancerous.

Certain foods like chemical-free vegetables and fruits  and spices like turmeric can help boost liver and kidney health and aid safe passage of these inorganic substances out of the body. But consistently taking in inorganic substances through any of the means mentioned above can really harm the performance of the liver and the kidneys.

 Many people may have only slight discomforts  from time to time especially if they also eat very healthy foods devoid of inorganic substances. This is because the body and organs generally are on healing mode. 

But since you cannot always know for sure  if inorganic substances have been used in your food at some points, you may be taking in a whole lot of inorganic substances.  It may also be through the other means highlighted above. 

So, in order not to wait till there's a major problem and since we cannot yet fully control all our food systems, having a herb that can further breakdown the inorganic  substances such that they have easier passage through the liver and kidneys is marvellous, isn't It? 

I have been taking the juice of this plant everyday for a week now. 

I was able to eat certain highly commercialised food that I have been avoiding without some of the after-effects - terrible inflammation in the body usually with aches and pains, some hurting in the eyes, and temporary flare-up in skin break-outs  and itching and emergence of grey hairs😂.

The reason for body discomforts from taking food containing inorganic substances  is that the longer those inorganic substances stay in our body system due to difficulties passing through liver and kidney(s), the more havoc they wreck.

When they eventually pass through, they do some harm to the liver and kidney(s) and if such inorganic substances keep getting into the system they will keep on damaging these organs  and may lead to very serious problems.

While the Phyllanthus niruri

 - stone-breaker plant can help resolve to some extent liver and kidney health issue, prevention of causal factors to our body ill-health should be our goal - eat healthy, make other good  lifestyle  choices. 

P. Niruri seems to be a seasonal plant and hopefully should be sourced from places it's safely grown. Note, it is bitter, not something you will enjoy taking. 

But it's so good to have such plants that can  bring relief to our health while we keep on encouraging commercial food producers to  stop any practice that pose health hazards. 

God has indeed given us everything we need for life.....

Also, if you can, grow as much of your own food as possible or buy directly from accredited organic food producers.
