Ayurvedic treatment for chronic kidney disease, Dr. Puneet Dhawan

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a condition in which one or both the kidneys of the patient get damaged and stops filtering body waste. The condition of the kidney gets worse in such scenario as it eventually starts building a high level of waste in the blood and makes you unhealthy and sick. Other symptoms that CKD patients have to face are high blood pressure, anemia, weak bones, poor health, and nerve damage. It further risks you to various heart and blood vessel disease. So, it is important to cure it before any further damage is done to the kidney.

You can use Ayurveda treatment for chronic kidney disease instead of going for dialysis or allopathic treatment.

According to the Ayurveda, the kidneys are made up of two dhatus namely “rakta” and “meda”, treating this dhatus effectively means treating the kidneys. There are certain herbs that are exclusively used in kidney treatment such as: punarnava, gokshur, haritaki, neem, daruharida, and patol. Ayurveda treatment for Chronic kidney disease CKD can either partly or fully reverse the condition of your kidney. It reduces your chances of going into dialysis. Ayurveda also reduces the risk of death from cardiovascular diseases. Also, this form of treatment is proven to be a therapeutic contributor in all stages of the condition.
