Nettle Leaf Tea

[Toyfox]

Hi, I'm Toyfox and I am new the group.

I would like to know if anyone has tried nettle leaf tea to improve kidney function and whether it interferes with prednisone.

Nettle Tea is supposed to help the kidneys. I had it for a while and it seemed to really help clean out the system but I haven't found any to replenish my supplies. No idea how it interacts with prednisolone.

Thank you! I saw it in one of our health food stores.

I drank nettle tea for 5 years. I took many supplements to keep me off of dialysis. I don’t know if it interferes with prednisone because I wasn’t on prednisone then.

I got a book called "The Kidney Disease Solution" by Duncan Capicchiano N.D and & Fiona Chin N.D They also recommend supplements, but I was skeptical of them. I'm trying to stay off dialysis. Did you drink it every day? How much did you drink? I spoke with my Doctor about drinking the nettle and he was okay with it. I forgot to talk to him about prednisone. I'll ask him.

Please check with your doctor and/or pharmacist if you are concerned about interactions with particular medications. Pharmacists are highly trained to know what is ok and what is not ok to take with each medication. Additionally, please check with your physician regarding any nutritional supplement or dietary change in regards to your kidney function and what is best for you to take and/or avoid.
