2. Goldenrod

Another herb that has been known to cleanse kidneys is goldenrod. Clinical trials have found that goldenrod can reduce inflammation and help fight infections in animals. It is also a diuretic, which helps detoxify the kidneys and tone the urinary tract (preventing UTIs).

The type of goldenrod that is safe for consumption is derived from the Solidago species, not Verbascum densiflorum. However, people who are allergic to ragweed, marigolds, chrysanthemums, and similar flowers would be best to avoid goldenrod as well.
