G - Up Lifting	Parsley, you can eat it or make a tea. Don't use if you are nursing as it will dry up the milk. Make sure you drink lots of fluids as it can dehydrate you. Holding water can be a sign you are dehydrated, but the toxins that need to be eliminated are to strong for the kidneys. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Janet S	There are over 300 herbs known as natural diuretics. Some are better for certain conditions, such as Bugleweed to increase the force of the heart or Corn Silk to protect the kidneys if they're inflamed. But my favorite diuretic is Dandelion Root. It has 3x as much Potassium as most herbs and Potassium loss is always a concern when using diuretics. It is safe, natural and tasty. You can buy it roasted, too, if you prefer a sort of coffee-like flavor. Some more common diuretic herbs that you might find in your kitchen are Parsley, Celery Seed and Fennel Seed.
