Kidneys
The kidneys are involved in several vital body processes including cleansing
and filtering toxic wastes out of the blood and excreting them from the body
in urine, controlling the balance of potassium and sodium in the blood, and
regulating the amount of fluid in the body.
If any of these functions break
down the build-up of poisons in the body can become life-threatening.
The
kidneys also help to regulate blood pressure, by means of the amount of
water extracted from the bloodstream, and are helpful in the production of
red blood cells.
They are twin, bean-shaped organs located towards the back
of the body on either side of spine, protected by the lower ribs.
They connect
with the urinary bladder by means of two tubes called the ureters, which
carry the urine produced in the kidneys to the bladder.
Essential oils have a profound effect on the kidneys, because the oils
circulate in the bloodstream, and all the blood in the body passes through the
kidneys twice in each hour
