A diuretic is a substance that removes water from the body by promoting urine formation and the loss of salt . The word "diuretic" comes from a combination of the Greek "dia-", thoroughly + "ourein", to urinate = to urinate thoroughly. Diuresis may be due to a huge number of causes including metabolic conditions such as diabetes mellitus substances in food and drinks such as coffee, tea, alcoholic beverages, etc. and specific diuretic drugs. Diuretic drugs works by various modes such as:
- Inhibiting the kidney's ability to reabsorb sodium, thus enhancing the loss of sodium in the urine. And when sodium is lost in the urine, water goes with it.
- Enhancing the excretion of both sodium and chloride in the urine so that water is excreted with them.
- Blocking the exchange of sodium for potassium, resulting in excretion of sodium and potassium but relatively little loss of potassium.
Long-term use of the modern diuretics gradually loses its effectiveness, worsening kidney function. After extensive search of the modern and traditional literature on this subject we are proud to present this range of Diuretics Herbs from India .
