Bladder
The bladder is a muscular organ that stores urine before it is excreted from the body.
Importance: The bladder is essential for controlling the excretion of waste and maintaining fluid balance in the body.
Some herbs, like Uva Ursi and Marshmallow root, are used to support bladder health and may help relieve symptoms of urinary discomfort. These herbs can be consumed as teas or supplements.
Kidneys
The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs that filter waste products and excess fluids from the blood to form urine.
Importance: The kidneys play a vital role in maintaining overall fluid and electrolyte balance and eliminating waste products from the body.
Herbs like Dandelion and Parsley are known to support kidney health and may help in promoting proper kidney function. These herbs can be consumed as teas or supplements.
Ureters
Ureters are tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder.
Importance: Ureters facilitate the transport of urine from the kidneys to the bladder for storage and eventual elimination.
Herbs are not typically used to target ureters directly. Maintaining overall urinary system health involves proper hydration and a balanced diet.
Urethra
The urethra is a duct through which urine passes from the bladder to the external environment for elimination.
Importance: The urethra is essential for the final stage of urine elimination from the body.
Herbs are not typically used to target the urethra directly. A healthy diet and lifestyle, including adequate hydration, support overall urinary system health.
