Hi welsh lamb, diuretic herbs may be used to assist in removing fluids, but fluids may increase the removal of important vitamins and minerals from the body, such as calcium, potassium, and other important electrolytes. It may be necessary to supplement with other nutrients to help compensate for the loss of these nutrients when using a natural diuretic.

Diuretic herbs
1. Taraxacum officinale (Dandelion) cleanses the bloodstream and liver. Dandelion is used as a natural diuretic. Dandelion improves the functioning of the kidneys, spleen, pancreas, and stomach.
2. Green Tea
3. Stinging Nettle
4. Yarrow diuretic action aids the elimination of fluid and toxins from the system via the urine.
5.Agathosma betulina (buchu) is an effective diuretic and anti-inflammatory.
Use this herbs only under medical supervision if you are also using prescription medication for your disease

Lose weight. Even a few extra pounds can raise blood pressure. Walk or do some other form of aerobic exercise regularly. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products; reduce fat and salt intake. A new study found such a diet may be an alternative to prescription drugs for mild hypertension. If you have mild hypertension, you may want to try lifestyle changes and supplements before turning to prescription drugs, which often have unpleasant side effects. Begin a two or three-month trial with supplements. If your blood pressure drops, you can use the supplements indefinitely. If your blood pressure doesn't respond, you may need prescription antihypertensive drugs. If you already take such medication, don't stop or reduce your dose without your doctor's approval. Calcium/Magnesium: 1,000 mg calcium and 500 mg magnesium a day. Do not use magnesium if you have kidney disease. Vitamin C : 1,000 mg 3 times a day. Reduce dose if diarrhea develops. Coenzyme Q10 : 50 mg twice a day. For best absorption, take with food. Essential Fatty Acids:1 tbsp. (14 grams) flaxseed oil a day; 1,000 mg fish oils 3 times a day. Take fish oils if you don't eat fish at least twice a week. Hawthorn:100-150 mg 3 times a day. Standardized to contain at least 1.8% vitexin. Taurine: 500 mg L-taurine twice a day on an empty stomach. If using longer than 1 month, add mixed amino acids. Arginine: 1,000 mg L-arginine twice a day on an empty stomach. Take with a mixed amino acid complex.

First of have you had this side effect checked out, as if the medication is causing this you may need to change to another type, or it could be the sign of other problems and not the medication you are, pharamists are pretty good to ask about this stuff.

Now if you have had it checked out, the dandelion leaves, are an excellent diuretic, this is where the nick name for them 'pissy beds' or ' 'wee the bed' comes from, and they are abundent at the moment, check for a reciepe in herb books, from your local library or online, and it won't cost you anything at all then.

As a qualified herbalist, I can honestly say that conventional medicine and Herbal Medicine don't mix. One should take either, or, not both.
The last thing you want if you are experiencing urinary retention is a diuretic. This will only increase the volume of urine you produce and if you cannot void it, then pressure will build up and cause damage to your kidneys.
You need to speak to your GP about this, urinary retention is a serious matter and should be dealt with professionally, not by the people on here.

Getting rid of water (but be careful if you are also not eliminating your urine correctly... you could prolapse your baldder if you fill it up & can't go pee)

++ Cranberry Juice... 100% cranberry juice
++Licorice Spice Tea made by Stash (found that one out by accident, drink it every day now.. as I have a spastic bladder)++ my dad's mom (the medicine woman in the family) swore by watermelon, just eat it

Lemme think about this a little bit & I will add more info cause I know there is somthing I used to use that is not something you drink & I simply can't remember right now

Go for protein as opposed to sugar to keep energy levels going strong rather than crashing. Edamame in pods may be the perfect snack since it takes some time to eat and a one-cup offering offers 12 grams of protein.

most medicines will cause side effects and best thing is that you follow it very carefully.some taken before meals others with meals and all antibiotic on empty stomach.You must drink full glass of water with tablets and drink plenty in all day.Eat as much raw salads and fruits and steamed vegetables.Most herbal teas like mint,lemon and so many other flavours.Now hot weather is coming eat plenty water melons and melons and it is very good for health as well as it is natural detoxing.
