Boiling cherry stalks (the stems you usually throw away) is a “treasure” of ancient European medicine that acts as one of the most powerful natural diuretics on earth. These little sticks are packed with potassium salts, tannins, and flavonoids. When boiled into a tea, they act like a “flush” for your kidneys and urinary tract, helping your body get rid of excess water, toxins, and inflammation.
This recipe is a “secret” for anyone dealing with bloating, edema (water retention), or kidney stones. It is an “economical” and smart way to detoxify your system and even support weight loss by removing the “heavy” fluid that pools in your legs and abdomen. Once you drink this “golden” liquid, you will be “amazed” at how light and refreshed your body feels.
Why Cherry Stalk Tea is a Natural Miracle
- Erases Bloating Fast: It is a potent diuretic that pulls out trapped water from your tissues, helping you lose “puffiness” in the face and hands.
- Kidney & Bladder Shield: The antiseptic properties of the stalks help “cleanse” the urinary tract and prevent the formation of painful kidney stones.
- Lowers Blood Pressure: By removing excess sodium and fluid from the blood, it helps the heart pump more easily and keeps pressure levels normal.
- Fights Inflammation: The tannins in the stalks act as a “soothing” agent for joint pain, gout, and rheumatism.
- Cellulite Reducer: Regular use helps improve circulation and reduces the appearance of cellulite caused by poor fluid drainage.
Recipe for the Healing Cherry Stalk Tea
This tea has a pleasant, earthy, and slightly woody taste. You can use fresh stalks or dry them to use all year long.
Ingredients:
- A large handful of Cherry Stalks (About 15–20 stalks)
- 1 liter of Water
