Subject: natural remedy are juniper berry supplements o.k. to take for cleansing the kidneys over a short period of time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That doesn't happen: Kidneys are not "dirty" nor "in need of cleaning". Supplements, natural or not, don't actually "clean" kidneys. However, there are people who will sell all sorts of stuff to clean various bodily organs. So, buyer beware.
