How kidney failure treatment in Ayurveda works?


What is Chronic Kidney Failure? Chronic Kidney Disease is the earliest stage of kidney problems in patients. Kidney failure occurs in stages and not all at once. There are five stages of kidney failure, each stage having its symptoms. These stages are identified by Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) that tells how much blood is cleaned by the kidney per minute. Symptoms of Chronic Kidney Failure The following are the symptoms a person notices when suffering from Chronic Kidney Disease: • Continuous fatigue due to low red blood platelets • Cold due to iron deficiency, which is a result of low red platelets • An imperfect filtration of blood • Itchiness and dryness on skin • Uraemia • Bubbly or frothy urine due to protein leakage • Swelling due to build-up of wastes in the body • Loss of appetite • Chest pain • Loss of breath Kidney Failure Treatment in Ayurveda Ayurveda provides treatment for every disease by using the herbs present in India's roots. In kidney failure treatment in Ayurveda, nature's gift is utilized, that is, the rare herbs and the conventional therapies. A person suffering from Chronic Kidney Disease must make some changes in their lifestyle to recover from the disease. The Ayurvedic treatment works on all the aspects to cure chronic disease naturally and permanently, unlike the allopathic treatment. A person can cure this chronic disease by focusing on their Diet schedule, sleeping pattern, and doing Yoga and Exercise. Diet plays a vital role in the Ayurvedic treatment system. It helps the body get all the required nutrients and prevent it from consuming unnecessary and unwanted nutrients, saving the kidney from the burden of harmful components in the body. Diet for Stage-1 and Stage-2 Chronic Kidney Disease Maintaining a balanced diet is very important for a person diagnosed with Stage1 or Stage2 chronic kidney disease. The patient should take care of the following: 1. Control cholesterol. 2. Reduce the consumption of sugar and high sodium food. 3. Should have controlled blood pressure. 4. Exercise daily. Diet for Stage-3 Chronic Kidney Disease At Stage3, the kidney damage is moderate. The patient should take care of the following: 1. Should take low sodium and phosphorus diet. 2. Avoid carbohydrates. 3. Should consume se standard of proteins. Diet for Stage-4 Chronic Kidney Disease There is acute damage in the kidneys at this stage, and they are on the verge of becoming dysfunctional. The patient should take care of the following: 1. Reduce the consumption of protein. 2. Reduce the intake of potassium-rich food. 3. Reduce the consumption of sodium, carbohydrates, phosphorus, and full grains. Diet for Stage-5 Chronic Kidney Disease It is the most complicated and awful stage. The kidney has become dysfunctional at this stage, and the patient should take the diet as suggested by the doctor or the dietician. Yoga and exercise are also a part of Ayurvedic treatment and help heal the organs of the patient suffering from chronic kidney disease. There are some specific Yogic practices like pranayama, monkey asana, etc., that can ensure smooth body functioning and enable the kidney's functioning. Thus, we can say that Ayurveda serves the best treatment for the cure of kidney failure.
