When Gentle Diuretic Support Is Considered

(Members Only)

In natural health traditions, certain herbs are used to support the body’s normal fluid movement, hydration, and urinary comfort. This information is for general education only and not a replacement for veterinary diagnosis.

When Practitioners May Consider Diuretic-Type Support

• Mild puffiness or fluid heaviness

• Generalised fluid imbalance patterns affecting overall comfort

• Temporary water retention from heat, diet, or stress

• Encouraging healthy urine flow

• Supporting natural urinary cleansing

• After reduced movement or travel

Any pain, blood in urine, or inability to urinate requires immediate veterinary care.

Common Herbs Traditionally Referenced

• Dandelion leaf – gentle fluid-balance herb

• Corn silk – urinary passage comfort

• Nettle leaf – kidney elimination support

• Parsley – healthy urine flow

• Couch grass / Horsetail – short-term fluid support

Safety Notes

• Ensure constant access to water

• Stop if vomiting, lethargy, diarrhoea, or reduced urination occurs

• Not for very young, pregnant, elderly, or debilitated animals without guidance

• Persistent symptoms → seek veterinary advice

Chylothorax refers to a blockage or disruption of the thoracic duct within the chest. The thoracic duct is the primary lymphatic vessel, and the lymphatic system plays an important role in carrying lymph — a fluid that supports the immune and circulatory systems — throughout the body. When this process is disrupted, fluid can accumulate in the chest cavity, creating additional stress for the animal.

SET OF

Natural Support for Immune Balance and Fluid Regulation

This formula is a carefully selected blend of natural, plant and mineral ingredients, traditionally referenced for supporting immune health and assisting the body’s natural fluid regulation. Ingredients such as Dandelion and Rosehips have long been associated in traditional use with gentle diuretic actions, helping the body with fluid elimination and maintaining comfort.

Nutrient Support — Rutin

The dietary supplement Rutin, a naturally occurring flavonoid, has been studied for its potential role in helping to support lymphatic health and fluid balance. Research suggests that Rutin may encourage certain immune cells, known as macrophages, to assist in removing fat from the lymphatic fluid. This may help to reduce the build-up of fluid in some cases.

One commonly available source is Now Foods Rutin, 450 mg, 100 veggie caps. The powder inside each capsule can be opened and a small pinch added to meals for ease of use. Many practitioners recommend this simple approach for ongoing nutritional support.

Rutin supplements can be conveniently ordered through suppliers such as iHerb.
