A natural diuretic is a food and/or herb which aids in the elimination of fluids in the body. While it is often good to relieve the body of excess fluid, there is always a concern that nutrients can be lost, too. So, use all diuretics with care. You may need to supplement your nutrition plan with additional vitamins and minerals when using diuretics. When the body holds onto fluids too much, it's often referred to as water retention.
