To extract medicinal substances with draining properties, the solvent effect of water is exploited, which depending on the preparation can be hot (infusions and decoctions) or cold (macerated).
There are really numerous recipes available for the preparation of draining herbal teas, today quite sought after due to the well-known problems of water retention and the growing desire to "purify" oneself from the excesses of the modern lifestyle.
Beyond purely aesthetic problems, the intake of draining herbal teas can be indicated in the presence of premenstrual syndrome, predisposition to the formation of kidney stones and kidney stones, or, under medical supervision, in some urinary pathologies (infections, cystitis, kidney stones for therapeutic) and extraurinary (heart failure edema, arterial hypertension).
In addition to specific diuretic drugs, a draining herbal tea may contain herbs aimed at treating the causes responsible for the excessive accumulation of liquids.
In the edema of the lower limbs due to venous insufficiency and cellulite, for example, it is possible to associate extracts of red vine or centella asiatica.
In urinary infections, on the other hand, the antiseptic action of bearberry and the decongestant and antispastic action of chamomile are useful.
In all cases, to enhance the draining action of the herbal tea, it is important to reduce the dietary intake of sodium to no more than 2 grams per day; thus, the indirect effect of the extra liquid intake (herbal tea) and the reduction of dietary sodium are added to the direct effect of diuretic drugs.
(rhizome, roots), birch (leaves), cherry (fruit peduncles), horsetail (aerial parts), ash (leaves and seeds), grass (rhizome) aerial), corn (stigmas or "corn barbs"), orthosiphon (leaves), spiny restharrow (root), nettle (flowering plant, roots), pilosella (aerial parts), parsley (aerial parts, roots), dandelion (root) and goldenrod (flowering tops).
Note: a good draining herbal tea can contain even one of these drugs. Most of the traditional preparations do not contain more than 4-5 plant sources, while in many commercial "supermarket" preparations different drugs are used as owl ingredients, that is, as herbs included in the product not so much for the real effectiveness (given the low dosages ), as for the commercial appeal they exercise towards the general public.
Among the sweetening drugs, useful for improving the organoleptic characteristics of the herbal tea, we remember: mint, lemon balm, verbena, fennel, green anise, orange, licorice, basil and jasmine.
