What Ayurveda Says About Complementary Kidney Disease Management
Greetings lovely readers!
Today we talk a little bit about kidney health.
According to Hindustan Times, they say the following about kidney disease management, to complement what one already has in place:
…Dr Preet Pal Thak, Co-Founder of Glamyo Health, said, “While modern medicine offers several treatments for CKD, many people are also turning to alternative therapies, such as Ayurveda, to help manage their symptoms and slow the progression of the disease. Ayurveda offers several natural remedies and lifestyle changes that can help manage chronic kidney disease.”
As per him, these include -
Diet: … Ayurveda recommends a diet that is rich in plant-based foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, and low in animal-based foods, such as meat and dairy. Additionally, foods that are high in potassium and phosphorus, such as bananas and dairy, should be limited.
Herbal remedies: Ayurvedic herbs, such as Punarnava, Gokshura, and Varuna, can be used to help manage the symptoms of CKD. These herbs have diuretic properties, which can help remove excess fluid from the body and reduce swelling.
Lifestyle changes: Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle to manage CKD. This includes getting regular exercise, practicing stress-reduction techniques, such as Yoga and meditation and avoiding smoking and alcohol.
Panchakarma: Panchakarma is an Ayurvedic detoxification therapy that can help remove toxins from the body and improve kidney function. It involves a combination of massage, herbal remedies and other therapies.
Acupuncture: Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese therapy that involves inserting needles into specific points on the body. It has been shown to be effective in reducing inflammation and pain associated with CKD.
Keep in mind this is not medical advice but information for your own research. As always talk with your medical practitioner about what you would like to do and follow through from there.
Ayurveda is largely a prevention to use, but knowing more, using Ayurveda can help ease discomfort and make life easier and a little happier.
