Heat
Using heat as a treatment for kidney infections is one of the oldest methods. It’s effective in some cases because it makes the body sweat and helps flush out toxins from the kidneys. It also increases blood flow to that area of the body.
In ancient Chinese medicine, heat was applied to treat certain illnesses, like kidney infections. Using heat to treat illness became popular in Western medicine, particularly during the time of Hippocrates (460-370 BC).
It speeds up blood flow and helps flush toxins from the body. Applying heat was especially useful for kidney infections, but it’s also been helpful for various ailments. There are two main ways of applying heat – external and internal. External heat can be applied through hot baths, saunas, or compressions with hot cloths. Internal heat is created by ingesting spices or foods that have a warming effect on the body.
