[Podcast] Bladney: Heal Your Kidneys & Stop Nighttime Urgency

Join host Jim Applegate (with co-host Lynn) on the Reality of Herbal Therapy podcast as they dive into bladder and kidney health and the time-tested herbal formula Bladney, created by Dr. James. This episode explores common urinary symptoms — swelling in the ankles, nighttime urination, urgency, burning, lower back pain, and recurrent UTIs — and explains why many Americans experience bladder and kidney struggles (dehydration, pH imbalance, medications, acid-forming beverages, and diet).

The hosts break down the seven herbs in Bladney and how each supports the urinary system: cleavers (reduces inflammation and water retention), corn silk (reduces uric acid), gravel root (traditional support for kidney stones), parsley (potassium-rich, use as tea for stones), juniper berries (strengthen weak bladders and help with bedwetting), marshmallow root (soothes urinary membranes), and uva ursi (helps chronic bladder/kidney issues and clears the filter). They stress that Bladney feeds and fortifies the urinary tract rather than acting as a diuretic.

Practical guidance in the episode includes hydration and pH tips (drink more water, eat water-rich foods like watermelon, add a pinch of baking soda or good salt when needed, and favor broths and herbal teas over acidic black/green teas and soda), simple home remedies (parsley tea for kidney stones), and lifestyle advice about coffee and processed drinks. The hosts emphasize prevention — "feed the system, don't chase the bug" — and describe how Bladney can be used both as a maintenance supplement and as an acute intervention.

Dosage and pairing recommendations are covered: maintenance doses typically run one to three capsules daily (many take two in the morning); acute support can mean taking three capsules every 20 minutes until symptoms subside, then tapering and continuing higher doses for a week or two. The episode also recommends pairing Bladney with Fection(when bacterial overgrowth is suspected), with mineral/potassium support, and with detox formulas if toxic load or heavy metals are a concern.

Other key points: regular Bladney use can reduce urinary frequency, strengthen bladder control, help prevent or ease kidney stones, and even support blood pressure by clearing the kidney "filter." Personal anecdotes and practical tips — taking Bladney before long trips, keeping it on hand for emergencies, and using it during pregnancy-related swelling — round out the conversation.
