Aim to eat at least one meal of fresh diuretic vegetables daily, i.e. plenty of celery, cucumber, lettuce and other green leafy vegetables. Fresh juice of the flowers of drumstick is another effective remedy for cystitis. For better results, a teaspoon of the juice, mixed with half a glass of tender coconut water, should be given twice daily. It acts as a diuretic.

Parsley is a bitter, aromatic, and diuretic herb that relaxes spasms, reduces inflammation and clears toxins. Diuretic herbs increase the amount of blood that flows to the kidneys, thereby increasing urination and lowering overall blood pressure. Among the most effective natural remedies for high blood pressure are Fennel, Celery, Asparagus, Hawthorne, Borage, Hibiscus, Dandelion, Sarsaparilla, Juniper, and Hibiscus.

Cucumber possess cleaning qualities, they quench thirst and act as diuretics. Beans have cleaning qualities and are considered to be good diuretic. Fresh garlic contains many useful substances. It dilutes viscous tissues, cleans, opens vessels, thins blood and is used as diaphoretic and diuretic
