In Traditional Chinese Medicine, TCM, the kidneys are referred to as the 'Minister of Power', because they are considered to be the most important storehouse organ of our essential energy. This formula includes soothing and diuretic herbs to help the kidneys and bladder, helping to relieve painful, burning urination. It helps to relieve water retention and neutralizes toxins, as well as assisting in releasing kidney stones. The formula is antibiotic, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory. The kidney and bladder system are considered to be the "Lower Burner", and responsible for separating clean body fluids from the dirty ones. Infections, like UTI's that are commonly known as bladder infections, that are due to the presence of bacteria in the kidneys, bladder, and urethra. Modern medicine usually treats bladder infection with antibiotics, however, over time, many bacterial strains become resistant to these. Also, the bladder doesn't function, or malfunction on its own, so treatments should also include herbs that are helpful to the body as a whole, in a combination of the body's systems.

The bark serves as a diuretic and helps to flush out these toxins from the urinary tract. Peach bark is high in phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium and has been used for problems with the bladder, the uterus, and for water retention. Pregnant women who take Peach bark tinctures may find it beneficial for the reduction of nausea and morning sickness. Still, you should use caution as it is diuretic in nature.
