diuretic properties
Explanation:
or re-write it and say that tarragon
is a mild diuretic
stimulates appetite
etc....

I personally don't like the term sluggish kidney, but as I say, this is just something personal. Nierenträgheit in German just means that one retains water -- poss. due to kidneys not functioning properly.
