Decongest the left kidney region.

WARNING! Kidney problems are one of the main causes of high blood pressure. If your kidney functions improve, it is likely that the dosage of your blood pressure medications will need to be modified. Check your blood pressure regularly, and consult your doctors, nurses, and pharmacists as needed regarding these medications.

Purpose: To squeeze the left kidney region like a sponge so that congested fluid is released and circulation improves.
