What has cat whiskers got to do with your kidneys ?
That was exactly what I asked when I was given the product, Good Image Cat Whiskers Tea. Cat Whiskers good for cleansing and strengthening kidneys ?
As I digged further, I began to love it. Besides its aroma, it is a nice detox tea for cleansing the kidney and urinary tract. Instead of keeping a cat at home, I am looking forward to growing this beautiful herb in my little balcony and touching its whiskers.
It has been called Kidney Tea, Holy Tea, Toddler Tea, Stone Removal Herb, Ageless Herb, Romance Herb and Cat Whiskers Herb (click here) but its botannical name is Spicate Clerodendranthus.
Although it can be found in Malaysia (called Misai Kuching or Misai Kucing), I can’t wait to visit Xishuangbanna in China Yunnan Province to see the mu of Cat Whiskers.

To be on the safe side, I use those that are prepared in ready-to-drink teabag.
This blog has a website with one such product.

Planted misai kucing in my garden. I would boil a handful of the herbs in big pot for 20 minutes and put in fridge. I drink almost everyday until finish and then boil another pot.
I am concern too whether I have overdose. What is correct amount and frequency of taking the herb drink. Anybody can help me? Thanks.

This is awesome! Ive used it a couple of times now and find myself wanting to return more often. Im having this internal struggle with myself, lately, to be more efficient with how I use my time. With conveniences like this, I may actually make great strides in succeeding.
