dialyzes

Cleanses the blood

Dialyzes is the third-person singular form of dialyze, meaning to perform dialysis—the process of separating substances in solution by passing them through a membrane.

Most commonly refers to medical treatment that filters waste from the blood when kidneys fail: The machine dialyzes her blood three times a week.

Also used in laboratory chemistry for purifying solutions.
