The kidneys are vital for our body. They filter 180 liters of water a day and excrete toxins and waste products from the body via the bladder. In addition, important substances are filtered that go back into the bloodstream.
Pain in the kidneys is independent of age and can be an indication of a wide variety of diseases.
Homeopathic remedies are given to relieve the pain and are said to promote healing of the inflammation.
